FLASH: Flash files sticking in the cache

[Dave Hollinden]

How do you all deal with Flash files sticking in the viewer's cache?  


If I make a minor update to a file that's been live on our site for awhile,

I need to clear my cache to see it.  I assume that others do also.  Often I

rename the new version of the file just to make sure it gets downloaded.  Is

there any easier way?  Are there criteria for when the browser will download

a new file rather than use the cached one?  Flash files seem particularly

sticky.


Thanks,
