i have a movie with two scenes (intro.swf and part2.swf)
the intro plays first of course and then the part2 plays.
part2 has a list of external URL links.
My question is how do i load the second scene into the browser so that when an external link is visited, when the user hits the back button on their browser, it doesn't start over with the intro.

aslo, how can i take scene2 out and make it a separate movie?

There are a couple of ways to do this. One is much simpler than the other. One , you can put a back button on your part 2 swf and have it go to a different page where you have uploaded a swf that only loops the last frame in your intro swf or two you could place a cookie on the visitors computer and write some code on the first page that detects if they have been there before and redirects them to another page ( the looping last frame of the intro). You can get this code at [sig]<p>Todd Norris<br><a href=mailto:Todd.Norris@home.com>Todd.Norris@home.com</a><br><a href= Personal Profile 2000</a><br>Hope this helps ![/sig]
