I have History Management working on a Flex app (ViewStack), but then I've got a NavigateToURL() call that leaves the Flex app and opens an external URL. The problem is, when you click "Back" after leaving Flex, it looks like the History Manager no longer works and it just returns you to the default/initial state instead of the saved/history state. I noticed the URL still has the state URL variables/data in it (e.g. #app=a1ce&eac2-selectedIndex=4) but Flex seems to be ignoring this URL data and just loads the default/initial state.
Is there a way to have Flex reload the saved state when returning from an external URL? To say this another way, assume the following path of a User: 1) Login Page 2) Main Menu Page 3) Product Category Page 4) Product Detail Page 5) External Product Link [NOT Flex -- uses NavigateToURL()] The forward/back buttons work fine between #1 and #4, but once the user navigates to #5, the "back" button returns them to #1 instead of #4 -- but I want to take the user back to #4. Note: one workaround to this would be to open a new window by using "_blank" for the target of NavigateToURL(), but in my scenario this is undesirable.
