Because im making a website in flash right now, and whenever I update the file, and re-upload it, my browswer still shows the old file. And I dont want that since I update it so often. Thanks (yeah, I know, Flash is a really big pain, geesh)

can someone help me, please??
What browser are U using?
MP
Well I have the same problem for both IE and Firefox
Hello,
For testing purpose (local) :
Try to refresh the page [ctrl+F5 on IE]
Clear the cache on both browsers.
For public release :
Add an extra PHP header at the very TOP of your file, ie :
this way the browser will always download a fresh copy of the page embedding your swf file instead a serving an old copy from the cache.
To try this out, publish your swf file under a new name.
Hope this helps !

I too face the same problem all the time. Not only with flash files, but even with images and style sheets. This has nothing to do with the browsers catch. What I understand is that this is an ISP's proxy server issue. The proxy server caches the files so that it doesnt need to redownload it again and send it to its client who makes a request for it.
Deleting the temporary files, both from IE and manually doesnt help me ever. I have to wait atleast for an hour or so for the updated images/stylesheets to be downloaded.

I've used a code very similar to this before to keep the page from caching, but does it do it to all the files that are refrenced in the page?
Hi there,
What the above code does is mainly about the core code of the page (ie. html / php / inline css / inline javascript etc)
That's why I advised mnx12 to also rename the files that were to be called from that very page.

I know what you are looking for...
Copy to following into the Head of your HTML page'S
Paste both in it will not hurt both work with diffrent browsers
But make sure you inclue them @ the top of every webpage before you braodcast your website... Otherwise regular users will not cache the non cacheable copy if you see where i am coming from..
This helps me because I use FLASH and I stream .FLV videos to my SWF and I keep updating the .FLV so I need to stop the orginal .FLV from caching and the PRAGMA one does that one. But like I said yous both if you are using FLASH and TEXT.

| Code: |
| <META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
And for server types <META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> |
