What if the user is going away from your page and wants to come back at the exact same location as where he left. This is possible because Flash can save information localy. A bit the same like cookies...
Simply drag a saveLocal component on the stage and assign the map instance name to the component.
Select what you want to remember and compile!! Try the example on this page. Zoom some where, select some layers off and close the browser. Then open a new browser and go back to the page. The map should come back to the same situation.
The user might not allow local content this option would then be ignored.
