Here's a solution with a single global:
-- Movie script
global hitList
on startMovie
hitList = []
end
on backButton
nItems = count(hitList)
if nItems < 2 then
alert("There is nowhere to go back to")
return
end if
deleteAt(hitList, nItems) -- gets rid of the current page
nItems = nItems - 1 -- index to previous page
lastPage = hitlist[nItems]
deleteAt(hitList, nItems) -- get rid of the last page
go frame lastPage
end
on arriveAtNewPage newPageName
append(hitList, newPageName)
end
-- This is a frame script that goes on all your frames
-- you want to mark as visited
on beginSprite me
thisFrameName = the frameLabel
arriveAtNewPage(thisFrameName)
end
on exitFrame me
go to the frame
end
-- And here is the script on the back button
on mouseUp me
backButton()
end
Customize as you wish.

(PS: For extra bonus points, turn this into a single global
navigation object where "hitlist" becomes a property of the object)
