Back Button Problem, Please Check Out My FLA!

[theKeyper]

Hi Old! (and anyone else who would care to lend some advice)
You were helping me with this problem a little while back but the thread got cold or something. Baisically, you gave me the code for a back button to previous scenes in Flash, however, I can't get this code to work on a drop down menu. I made a sample FLA to show you.

It's Flash MX and in a .zip file (winzip).
The buttons on the main timeline work just fine. The first drop-down menu uses the same code as the buttons on the main timeline and does absoulutly nothing. The alternate drop-down uses just a standard gotoAndPlay code but the back button obviously dosn't work. Thanks alot for checking it out for me.

Since the history array is defined on the _root level, you have to allways refer to it as referenced to _root...

Thus in your dropdown...

on (release) {
_root.arrayindex += 1;
_root.history[_root.arrayindex] = "five";
_root.gotoAndPlay(_root.history[_root.arrayindex]);
}
