Flash Slide Show BACK Button

This should be easy .. but I cant figure it out (vary new to flash and actionscript).

I need to implement a BACK button on a slide show BUT not one that goes back one slide.

The functionality should be to for the button to goto the last viewed slide (like a interent browser back button that goes to the last viewed page).

I am truly confused !!! - have searched all the net and found a zillion examples of a back btn to previous but not to last viewed.

tks

Well Aris,
Usually a slide show goes linear, 1,2,3,4... but if you're doing something with thubnails or alike, I guess you can set a variable with a code or name of the last viewed and when the user clicks on the "back" button then it will search for it. However I need a little more information on what are you doing and how in order to help you better.

Cheers,

Cërf.

Oh, one more thing, in each frame that you add the _global.current_selection = "photo1"; and the image appears, put a flag with named "photo1", photo2, ect...

Do i declare "current_selection" as a variable in some frame of the SLIDE1 of the presentation and then assign to it the value within each slide that the user "visits"?
