Incorporating the BROWSER back button in flash

I have seen a new layout in Flash, where the browser's back
button can be used to hit different pages that have been visited
INSIDE the flash clip. So for ex, you go to a URL and its a full
browser flash site, then click "news" and go to the news page. If
you click back on the BROWSER, it takes you back to the main page
of the flash site, not the last URL visited in the browser. Here is
a good example:
http://www.opcd.net/#/lomo_-_mr._wig/
going back in the browser will take you to other visted image
pages. Can somebody point me in the right direction to figure out
how to incorporate this in my layouts?

Have a look at this article:

It will probably answer your question.

  • The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

    I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
    At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
    url: http://support.proboards.com/search
    1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
    2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
    3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
    4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
    I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
    I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • UIX Controller - using the browser back button

    I'd like to understand more about the controller and what is going on behind the scenes when I hit the back button. It would appear that some form of page caching is taking place and I want to know if I can effectively get a refreshed version of a page (although in some cases it might be just some elements of a page). My application scenario is this:-
    Having done a search, I select a row from a results table and add it to a short list (similar to shopping cart) which is then displayed. My search results page i.e. the previous page has a link to the shortlist with its text attribute databound to a string generated when items are added to the shortlist '3 items shortlisted'. When I hit the back button I get the state of the page before I added my item to the shortlist so the description is wrong. Hitting the browser refresh button displays the correct link text. Anyway I can force this behaviour? Is this what I should be trying to do or is there some best practice technique that I can use? There are several instances where I want to do this sort of thing.
    Hope that makes sense
    Thanks
    Ian

    Hi,
    In the Struts Framework, I have found code in the controller servlet, like this:
    * Render the HTTP headers to defeat browser caching if requested.
    * @param response The servlet response we are creating
    * @exception IOException if an input/output error occurs
    * @exception ServletException if a servlet exception occurs
    protected void processNoCache(HttpServletResponse response)
              throws IOException, ServletException
              if (!nocache)
              return;
              response.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache");
              response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
              response.setDateHeader("Expires", 1);
    nocache is a boolean that gets initialized from a parameter specified in the web.xml!
    multiple header fields for all different web browsers.
    (how to set these header fields in JSP, over to someone else)
    I can not remember if, when the user uses the Back button to return to a page with these header fields, he gets a 'Page Expires' message, or if the browser will automagically refresh the page.
    (It might even be so that for example IE5 will refresh, and that IE6 will give the message)

  • Browser 'back' button breaks flash file (firefox)

    Hey!
    I've run into a frustrating problem. I've created a web app for a customer (link here), but whenever I leave the page using one of the map pins and try to return using the back button - the map pins become unresponsive and the hover-state freezes. If I reload the page it works again.
    I've only encountered this problem in Firefox, and I believe that it's got something to do with the firefox focus. If I click outside the flash movie, deselecting the flash selection box - the buttons become responsive again.
    I've tried looking through the FAQ and it seems as if I've got the exact same problem as these users;
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4014321
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4121173#4121173
    There's a messy workaround using jquery to select another object on page reload but that doesn't look very professional, my customer's also supposed to integrate the .swf with a cms and I'm not sure if I can get it to work.
    I use Firefox 15.0.1 and Flash Player 11.4
    Any pointers would be very appreciated
    - Johan

    FF 15.0.1 with the latest FP installed and my back button works perfectly fine. The pins do not require me to reload the page to work.
    It's not uncommon for a browser to require a plugin like flash to be "activated" for focus. Click doesn't typically suffer from this (and isn't for me). Keyboard however, well that makes sense. The ability to auto-activate and steal keyboard focus would introduce usability and security issues.

  • Browser Back Button after Leaving Flash

    Hello -
    I am currently working on a site where a button in the flash takes you to an external link.   The user would like the browser back button, when you are on the external link, to take them to the page on the flash that was last viewed without restarting the flash.  Is this possible?  Thank you!

    Thank you very much!

    Hi All,
    Is there any way in actionscript 3.0 to enable Browser Back

    The best way I know of to do that is using swfaddress:

  • Browser "back" button won't work when linked from Catalyst graphic

    I am using Flash Catalyst in (CS5 Design Premium) because I am much more a print than web designer so bear with me.
    I created a .swf file in FC, and placed it at the top of a "router index" page. I linked 10 "buttons" in the .swf, each to a different anchor on the "router index" page. Clicking on each "button" jumps to the correct anchor, so far so good.
    The problem is, when I hit the browser "BACK BUTTON" in IE only (Safari and Firefox work fine), it does not jump back to the top of the "router index" page. It jumps back to a previously opened page (homepage or another page), instead of back to the FC .swf graphic on the "router index".
    FC apparently only allows linking to "absolute" URL's, not "relative" URL's, (so my links to the anchors are "absolute"). I don't know if this is the source of the problem with IE. I have always linked to anchors previously in Dreamweaver using "relative" URL's, and have never encountered this problem.
    I looked over the files that FC creates and cannot find one that I understand, or shows an editable file path that I can change.
    I hope i don't have to buy Flash Builder. Right now I have Design Premium. And... I don't understand Actionscript.

    Hi azaral

  • Reporting Services add (browser) back button

    Dear all,
    I have a client that has 4 reports; 1 main, and 3 that are rendered when the user clicks the report data on the main report (which passes parameters to generate the other 3).
    They would like to have a back button in the report header of the 3 reports (they don't want to use the browser back button).
    Is this possible using a text box, then editing the navigation properties and does anyone have an example? Or am I missing something quite obvious?
    Any help would be gratefully received!!

  • Browser Back Button x Stale Data

    Hi,
    I'm facing a weird issue with back button handling.. whenever two sessions of the browser are opened to access the Oracle Applications, when changing something in one session, moving to the other session to change another thing and come back to the first session, even for completely different products and responsibilities, it gives me the stale data error as below. It seems like the session has been invalidated since I'm sure I haven't use the browser back button.
    Is this an expected behavior?
    ++Error: Cannot Display Page++
    ++You cannot complete this task because you accessed this page using the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).++
    ++To proceed, please select the Home link at the top of the application page to return to the main menu. Then, access this page again using the application's navigation controls (menu, links, and so on) instead of using the browser's navigation controls like Back and Forward.++
    Thanks,
    Eduardo

    Yes,that is the expected behaviour. In oaf http session is synchronised with the clicks, so on same desktop if u open two different apps sessions you will face the error, which ur facing now.

  • Browser Back Button and form navigation

    Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
    Reproduction steps on HR schema:
    1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
    2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
    3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
    test:
    1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
    2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
    3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
    4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
    5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
    My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
    Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
    Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

  • Open previously viewed Tabbed Panel when using browser back button

    I have a page containing SPRY tabbed panels, and was wondering if there was a way that if a user navigates back to this page using the browser back button, the last panel viewed could remain open. Using hash tags in the URL works for Mozilla but not for IE8. Here is the sample page: http://www.davidkneale.com/wcusa/expedition_leader.html
    Does anyone know how I can get this to work in IE8?

    Perhaps you missed the announcement that Adobe is no longer investing in the development of Spry. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l.
    There used to be a dedicated Spry forum, but it has been changed to read-only.
    Spry isn't exactly dead, but nor is it in the best of health. Add to that the fact that IE 8 doesn't support the HTML5 history management API, and the lack of replies isn't really surprising.

  • Form field validation: All required data lost when clicking browser-back-button!

    Hi folks,
    I have a big problem using the validation text  field components of Spry when the user must click the browser back button (or clicking a history.back()-Link) because he has  entered a wrong CAPTCHA-code!
    Right now, all the data - only in the required fields - not in the optional  fields!!! - is lost and the user has to enter all data once  again;-(
    Does anybody know why only the data in the  required fields is lost? Is there a nice workaround?
    I really  appreciate a quick answer:-)
    Kind regards from cloudy Germany

    rememberFormInputs('frmlogin', 'input-');
    'frmlogin' should be the id of page, not the name. so on your <form> tag, add the id="frmlogin"
    remove the
    // overload alert
    function alert(str) {
         var el = document.getElementById('alert');
         if (el) {
              el.value += str+"\r\n";
    Its really bad practice to overwrite the alert. and inside the rememberFormInputs remove these lines:
    alert('old value remembered: '+old_value);
    alert('setCookie: '+name + ' = '+value);
    and it should work

  • Log out browser back button

    I have a simple question - just wondering if there is an explanation or a fix.
    Why is it that when I log out of a secure zone, if I hit the browser back button I am able to see the last-viewed secure page? Of course, once I click on a link it redirects to the log in, but it seems like that page shouldn't be viewable in the first place.
    For me, it's not really a big deal - but it would be a shame for someone to log out of a secure page that displays sensitive data, only to have that page readily available via the back button.

    This is the nature of the web. Once you click back in the browser, the browser doesn't make the GET request to the server to render the page.
    You can overcome that with some JS - http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?137518-How-to-refresh-page-after-clicking -quot-Back-quot-button. See the 02-07-2007 11:35 AM post.

  • Browser back button does not work (IE) - Error On Page message

    Just take over website from our designer; I'm new, probably doing more fiddling on the live remote website than I should be...
    http://www.cmcwny.org
    Error On Page message, internal links work, but the browser Back button does not (at least in IE). 
    I have a backup of my local site from before this happened, but I do not know how to actually replace it.
    Any help on either issue will be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi
    First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
    There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
    The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
    The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
    To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

  • Ctrl+F5 and Browser Back Button

    I have read many posts about these issues, but did not reach to any result.
    I realize that they are a kind of validation, but how can we work around them?
    I have tried to set "EnableTokenValidation" property in the page definition to false, but this causes more problems, since instead of "Creation/Insert" mode, the page appears to be in an "Update" mode.
    It came upon my mind to hide browser's tool bars, but I am not sure for this...
    So, please, does anyone have reached a solution, or even any recommendations?
    Thanx in advance

    Hi,
    you are tackling two issues here:
    1 - page refresh
    2 - browser back button
    Both are typical JavaEE issues
    1 - If you submitted a page then a refresh will not bring it back into createInsert mode. If you want it to get back into CreateInsert mode, set an invokeAction on the executableSection of the binding to invoke CreateInsert on any page request
    2 - The recommended way of doing this - described as a pattern in J2EE - is a dejavu token that allows you to detect duplicate requests. The best solution I saw working though is a piece of JavaScript that on the client side deleted the browser history. This way the browser back button became non-functional
