This site boasts that you can bookmark every page, how is this done in Flash... This is an example page http://www.mambo.com.au/#/artists/jody_barton

Add a link on a button in the flash file to bookmark:

javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://websiteurl.com/', 'WebsiteName')

i have visited the MAmbo page and that was great!!! Do you have any idea how the bookmarking was done? Whatever it is, it is certainly more superior than using named anchors in Flash which are so frustating.

The Flash anchor has an undesirable behaviour. Suppose you created 4 named anchors in Flash - n1, n2, n3, n4 (in this order in the Timeline) and set up a simple navigation scheme (e.g. 4 links that navigate to each frame respectively). The way Flash works with the named anchors is: it will move sequentially, frame by frame to the anchored frame. For example, if you click to navigate to “n4″, the playhead actually moves sequentially from n1 to n4. This usually happens so fast (for small number of named anchors) that it is often not noticeable. The consequence - when the user clicks the back button in the browser, Flash actually moves to the frame “n3″ even though the user never been there! The most frustating thing is - if you have tens of named anchors in Flash, you can actually see the Flash movie skimming through the named anchors which is simply annoying!!!
If anybody has a solution to this issue, pls let me know.
