Oh, I just saw on another thread that you fixed this. I'm glad it's
working. :-)

Hi Drew,
Are you using the latest build of FlashJS?
I believe this has to do with the release build of Flash/JS
Integration Kit's use of the getURL('javascript:') method to send
script calls to javascript. javascript: urls break HistoryKeeper. You
can get around this by using fscommand from within flash to send calls
out to javascript from flash, but I believe they are using that method
in the latest version.

Download the one that is generated daily

If that's not it, let me know, and I'll see if I can think of
something else. :-)
Oh, if you are using javascript: urls anywhere else in you flash
movie, that will break it too.

Hi Kevin,
After wrestling with this issue for awhile and writing a solution
myself, I decided to try your more elegant implementation and found it
very useful, I really like the 'onHistoryChange event' notification
system. I tied it to the JavaScript Integration Kit to notify my flash
app.
I have an issue with IE that is very perplexing and it occurs with my
solution and yours. After making more than 2 calls to update the
location.hash object, IE6 freezes and stops loading the page. I think
it's the same issue that is documented here
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/threadnav157294-1-10.html and I don't
see a solution to it. Have you had this issue?
Cheers,

I have made a script that intends to solve this very issue. It is a
single javascript file (no extra server calls to grab a file to fill the
iframe, it's all done in javascript), with a method (addHistory) that
adds a history entry, and a delegation pattern for history change
notification. You can find it here:
http://www.unfocus.com/projects/HistoryKeeper/

The history script only takes care of the history portion, you will have
to take care of the javascript/flash communication using one of the many
techniques available (my communication framework, or FlashJS, or
ExternalInterface), and you will need to set up a small script that will
update the flash movie when the state changes. The state will also
need to be maintained by your custom Flash scripting (however it is
that you build your app, I recommend MVC, and making a VC out of the
history part
of the app).
I am working on a History Bridge (JS side is done) to take or this,
but it isn't ready for prime time yet.
