Subject: FLASH: How Do I avoid MSIE5 from cacheing an instance of a Flash
Movie


> Hi,
>
> I've made a flash movie that imports data from an external file and a PERL
script that updates that data file and reloads the flash movie in a
different frame. The movie then creates a 'SCENE' based on the data supplied
by the file.
>
> Everything's fine in NS4.x, but in MSIE5 the first loaded instance of the
flash movie is cached and is shown always regardless of updates to the data
file. I can overcome the problem but switching MSIE5's settings for
Temporary Files to "Check for Newer Versions Every Visit To Page" rather
than "Check Automatically", but I can't rely on this as MSIE5's default is
the latter.
>
> I've tried everything to do with all files (updating the dates on the
files, Pragma No Cache tags, Expiry dates, creating different IDs for the
page and the movie, updating the modification date of files on the server,
EVERYTHING!) but nothing helps.
>
> Has anyone come across this problem before, and is there a fix for it? Is
their a way that Flash allows you to empty the cache or reload the page from
scratch?
>
> Hope someone can help before I go MAD!!!

> Kind Regards
