OK, I think I am slowly overcoming my preconceptions.
AFA as the disappearing nav button goes, it's not like AW, e.g. if I
navigate to a nested FW, any FW_ENT entities in a parent above that are
not going to cascade down right? I have to navigate to the a page of the
FW containing the FW_ENT, even if the FW_ENT thingies are set to
perpetual.

Hmm, so I have to think differently in a structural sense..

Still working on the page 1 sound executing when navigation is to page
2..

Had tried that one, but the results were a bit unexpected.
rootIcon.navigate('main_menu_target');

The target is page 2 of a framework.
During the navigation, some of the content in page 1 (a sound) is
executed .
And upon the second use of that navigation, the perpetual buttons in the
target FW_ENT disappear.

Maybe I need to start with a clean sheet.
My head is starting to hurt. :-)

Have you tried navigate(iconID); I think it might be
rootIcon.navigate(id);?

That will do the anywhere to anywhere thing,

Yes, I am replacing the C&R with navigate to FW B, and from FW B
navigate back to FW A.

But while a call to navigate to FW A will function correctly from some
places in the structure but not others is what I can't figure out.

Since I came from A, I am assuming the structure has been created.
Or when you say "it dumps all it's content", do you mean it dumps the FW
pointer and everything?

Conceptually my take was it was holding the xml structure in memory
(since you can address it, correct?), so I thought a navigation to a
previously parsed bit of XML was just saying "jump back to this point in
the XML and reparse it".

There isn't a direct replacement for call and return.

You can do subroutines using an custom event, and then navigate back to
where you where by leaving a length of string behind you...

Doh!
I'm still gapping on the stepping nature of the engine.
I need an AW lobotomy.

I also realized that due to that nature anything that was previously
Call and Return is going to necessitate some structural changes.

At that point FW3 does not exist. You are in FW1 on PG1. You can call
FW1.gotoPage(1) which will take you where you want to go...?

No matter how they are nested?

LO
 IFC
   PG
     FW1
       FW_ENT
       PG
         FW2
           PG
           PG
             INT
               RES
                 SCR - want to nav from here. 
           PG
       PG
         FW3
           FW_ENT
           PG - to here
           PG
           PG
           PG  

FW3.gotoPage(0) doesn't seem to do it.

It works for me in the 2.6 desktop version. Note that the pages array
from which the page number comes from is zero-based, so
myFrameworkId.gotoPage(4) will actually take you to the 5th page on the
framework.

Found this in the archives:

"..but you could navigate to any page on any framework by using
myFrameworkId.gotoPage(pageNumber)."

Is it true?
It doesn't seem to want to work that way for me.
