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:

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.

I have read a couple articles one from Kevin Lunch and the other from
Christian Cantrell. Both have a decent approach but neither confronts having
some sort of state in the application and also addresses the back button.
Does anyone have a link to a great way to handle this dynamically? Our
applications are dynamic and do not allow us to make an html page loaded
into a frame in order to handle this issue. Does anyone have any links or a
way to port the methods used in flex into flash?
Thanks;
