Flex should reload the saved state. Can you create a small test case?

Subject: [flexcoders] Preserving History when leaving and returning to
Flex
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=a1ceeac2-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.
