Hi,

I have a flex application which I load into a dnn page. When user performs different actions inside the swf, it navigates through different internal states. Now if user presses the browser back button, she will be taken to the last page on dnn which was visited rather than the last state inside the swf.

I found flex provides a facility called 'deep linking' whereby you can add # anchor tags to the url with necessary event handlers in actionscript to allow browser back/forward buttons to work through it.  More detail here : http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=deep_linking_3.html#246170

But after working on it and seeing it work on a test page, I found it doesn't work when put inside DNN. Looks like DNN wouldn't allow URL to be modified. Is there a solution to this problem or must I reconsider the larger design of loading flex app inside dnn pages ?

thanks,

Hassan

Hi,

Hope I got it right, I think you can try the viva iframe. It's the core iframe and you can set the iframe to use url queries. So if you're using "_top", you can use the "back button".

Doesn't look like a friendly url option is interfering. I turned it off but no difference. I have yet to write my first dnn module. But say I go that route will it indeed  solve the issue ? In general do modules have the freedom to rewrite URLs as they deem necessary ?
