Flex: Implementing Back Button & History

How hard is it to implement the back button in Flex? Well, it is pretty arduous if you like to type extra code. To implement the back button here are the steps you need to do.

  1. NOTHING!

Yep, when creating the projct a history.js file (along with others) get copied to your /bin directory (or your output directory). I knew the files were there but figured you had to implement it in some way with a parameter or tab of some sort.

I freaked when I hit the Back button to hit the page I was on prior to testing a swf and what happened? It went to the previous tab in the application! Oh yeah…INCLUDING ANIMATIONS! It basically did exactly what you would expect an app to do.

How sweet is that?
