RE: FLASH: Salaries

[Tim Allan]

I developed a strategy for this, which sometimes worked and sometimes didnt

work.


I would delete the swf off the server (make sure you keep a back up)

I would then point my browser to the actual swf (not the html file where the

swf is embedded) http://youURL.com/movie.swf. Hopefully you will get the

file not found error.


I would then FTP the swf to the server.


Point the browser once again to the swf file (not the html file) Hopefully

the browser will then view the swf file.


And then finally view the HTML file where the swf is embedded.


Basically this is a manual of way of trying to get the server to update the

swf file.hope this works


Cheers



Tim

First of all my apologies if I'm rabitting an old problem but Ive not been 

able to find the solution anywhere...


I have a flash movie on a web server.  It works fine.  However I recently 

overwrote it with another flash movie, the same thing but with some 

changes.   It refuses to show the changes.  No matter how many times I 

refresh it doesn't change.  I KNOW for a fact that the new verison is up 

there....  I even installed brand new browsers and they showed the old 

version also.


I've been told by the people here that this is a regular problem, and that 

somehow the server seems to cache the flash movie itself.  No matter how 

many different browser/people/machines/locations I try it shows the old 

version - but that verison doesn't even exist on the server anymore.


I am responsible for R&D among other things, and I've been looking about 

for a fix for this - any takers?  Or at least does anyone know a way to 

manually refresh the things?


Any ideas at all would be very well received...


regards,


Toby Tremayne
