Navigate back through timeline

[JeremyMarshall73]

Hello,

I have an interactive HTML5 Canvas component built in Adobe Animate with a number of labelled "pages" on the timeline. On each page there are a number of options to choose which page to move to (using gotoAndPlay) so there a few 'routes' through. This is all working fine, but what I am struggling with is this: I would like a "Go Back" button that would take you back through the route you have chosen. I'm guessing this would involve recording a list of variables but my coding skills aren't robust enough. Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Many thanks!

Somewhere in your initialization section...

myHistory = [];

In your navigation button handler...

myHistory.push("name of the label that's being navigated to");

In your back button handler...

this.gotoAndPlay(myHistory.pop());

That's great, thank you. I'm implementing  it at the moment but it looks like it's working. Thank you!
