Author flash detection and browser 'Back' button problem...

Hello,

One of my clients has asked me a difficult problem this week... how to set
up his website so viewers can use their browser 'Back' button to bypass the
flash detection/redirection page (*in this case it's named 'index.html') and
return to their previous page before they chose to enter his site.
Obviously this cannot be accomplished using the 'normal' flash
detection/redirection scripts out there.
My instincts tell me there might be a way using either cookies or FS Command
to override and implement new functions into the users browser. Even if this
method worked on let's say, half of the browsers he would be happy.
It's a huge e-commerce site that is getting heavy duty traffic/sales as a
result of aggressive keyword bidding/advertising via Overture.
This client has received a few nasty e-mails from disgruntled (potential)
customers complaining about being 'trapped' within his website once they
enter.

Please help shed any light on this if anyone has had experience with this
problem.

Thanks in advance.
