[TYPO3-english] formhandler - jump to step via gp / call finisher without submitting?

Hi Reinhard,

i almost lost track of the issue. I had a look at your PreProcessor and 
put some comments to the forge issue.

We have one other issue that comes with the changed step handling:
Previously, we used some flash pages as a frontend for a form. The 
values were then just submitted to a page with the formhandler plugin to 
generate the mails and db entries. This allowed to easily implement and 
test the whole "backend" part without having the actual frontend ready. 
With the "new" step determination, the form now always starts with the 
first step -> no mails, no db entries

If there is only one flash content embedded to the html page, probably, 
the submitting part could be moved to JS, so the useragent matches and 
thus a session could be initialized first (hidden form), but on "bigger 
flash-only websites", there may be multiple forms which can not be 
initialized first. Any ideas on that?

Regards and thanks for all the excellent work on formhandler,
Andreas
