Flash Cache Blues

I would love to know how to control the caching on flash movies for I.E.
I can source the temp file and chuck it the trash but this has become a tedious task that i have learned to dread
Please help me. even if i can put some thing that will insist the movie is fresh and take it out when i have finished testing.

I don't like flash cache

are you talking about dynamic flash??? or the actual flash movie?

is your trying to load a txt file or php file into your movie to recive the vars you need to make it something like this

filename.txt?3984759480235742390587908

and change it every time, that way your tricking it to load a non-cashed version

so something like

LoadVariablesNum('text.php?RND='+random(),0,"post");

Actually I think he is reffering to the IE cache rather than the Flash caching. There are two things you can do to get around this. First of all, instead of opening the SWF file in IE, open an HTML file that embeds the SWF. Flash 5 will publish like this as a default so you should already have an HTML file corresponding to your SWF file. When you refresh the page in IE, your new movie should show.

If this does not work or you still want to open up the SWF directly, you will need to close all browser windows, then reopen the file. This behavior makes it seem that IE caches the SWF for the browser session rather than actually caching it.

I myself have run into both problems, IE caching and Flash caching, and spent a good amount of time figuring all this out. Hope this works for you,

if thats still doesnt work, try ctrl+f5 that should force it to refresh
