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

[Jim Antonopoulos]

I have this problem as well - I can see files that I uploaded 3 weeks ago

and have deleted in the last week. Isn't that cool?


We use a proxyserver too. We are flushing its cache today. It was the only

way.

Question are you using a Proxy Server ?


I found this problem with Flash when I was using my ISPs

Proxy Server.


My Flash movie would not update even if I went in deleted the old,

uploaded the new, deleted everything in my cache and temp folder.


Still would get the old movie.


It wasn't until I disable the "Use Proxy Server" that my flash movie would

update... had nothing to do with IE 5's Cache.
