RE: FLASH: Generator Caching?

[Mike Jones]

Larry,


No an SWT is designed specifically not to cache. It is basically an SWF with

an altered HTTP header. 




To avoid this you need to ascertain whether each user has to pull this SWT

form the server using Generators Online function or if it is updated on a

scheduled basis via the Offline process. 




If you are still not to sure check out FlashGen.Com there is a section on

Online and Offline - Although written for G1 the syntax and methodology are

still the same.




We do offer a consultancy service for specific projects if you are still

having problems.




Thanx

Hi all,




I need some generator help please.




My Flash4 authored SWF (exported as a Flash3 SWF)movie caches nicely so that


the intro


gets bypassed on the second visit.But now that I've placed a generator2


object in it


and exported it as a SWT the entire movie gets reloaded on every visit. This


is really


bad because the site gets alot of 'back to home page' clicks. This seems to


be forcing


the surfer to download the entire 285 KB movie again. Does a SWT not allow


caching.




I am getting nowhere with this problem for days. No one on the Generator


newsgroup


has responded to my query in 5 days and there is no way we can afford the


$200 US/per hour support call. We paid over $5,000 cdn dollars for the


program and


recieved a wafer thin 80 page 'hello' manual that tells me squat. Too bad


Macromedia


forgot to include the official ouija board. I'll just have to pray.




Thanks for any help.


Larry
