I am trying to create a back button with the Flash button in the interactive images category. I have tried typing "javascript:history.back(1)" into the link section of the flash button in the property inspector but I am not having any luck. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!
 
Make sure that there is something in the "back" history for the button to go to...know what I mean?? In other words, the user must first go forward before they can go back...That is one of the most commen mistakes made... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
 
try removing the "1"

javascript:history.back() Ya' Gotta Love It!

TulsaJeff is right. The alternative is

javascript:history.go(-1);

You can also go backwards 2 or 100 pages :)
