ActionScript 2.0 :: Force SWF To Reload (Already There In Cache)
Dec 27, 2006
Whenever I update the flash movie on my website, the changes don't affect the appearance when people (who have already been to the site) visit the website, since the swf is in the cache. I personally, go to my temporary internet files, and delete the swf from there, so that I can view the changes from the browser. Is there anyway to force the swf to be loaded again (although it resides in the cache memory)?

When I deploy a new .swf file in an HTML file as shown below, I have to clear the browser cache before the new .swf file loads in the browser. Is there anyway to force the browser to load the .swf file when I replace it with a new one on the server.
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" name="Prototype" bgcolor="#869ca7" quality="high" id="Prototype" src="/flex/Prototype.swf">

I have a slide show swf file in AS3 that gets the paths froman XMlL file. The problem is that I change the XML file every dayand unless a viewer empties their cache, they get the old slides.There is a technique where you add ?mathRandom() code at theend of the XML path inside the .swf file, but from all I have readand believe, this only adds to ones cache and could irresponsiblyfill a viewers cache.Does anyone know a way to use actionscript 3 inside the .swffile to force a reload of the XML file if the browser has beenopened for the first time?

I'm trying to create a method of saving data to disk in Flash.
Uploading the data to a PHP server works... well enough I guess. The issue is that when I go to reload the data, the file has been cached, and so I can't load the saved changes.
Is there a way to force flash to reload a file? Or clear it's current cached version?

I need to create a preloader that forces a reload of the Main.swf from the server, and not from the user's cache.
This is because the site (for a big music festival) will get frequent updates, and users will visit more than once.
I have my HTML-metatags set up like this:
HTML Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content ="0" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content ="no-cache" />
...but these get kind of, uhm, ignored?
So now I'm looking for a solution in my AS3 preloader. I've tried this trick, that works fine with xml-files, but with swf's it doesn't seem to work:
PHP Code:
l.load(new URLRequest("Main.swf" + new Date().getTime()));

I developed a flex website, the web explorer always caches swf file which embedded in HTML. Sometimes I make changes to the flex file, clients computer still view the previous version which stored in cache. How can I force client's web explorer to reload/refresh the swf file?

I make a swf for my site that includes dynamicly loading thumbnails from an xml file. Unfotunatly the browser ( IE and FF are what i have tried so far ) just takes the xml file from the clients browser cache even if i have changed the xml file on the server. So the only way my visitors will see my updated content, is if they clear their cache every time before they visit my site. ( even a ctrl-f5 does not seem to do the trick )
is there a function or something i can call to force the swf to re-download the xml file every time? (is really small, less that a kilobyte or two im sure.)

AIR seems to keep its own DNS cache when an application is running, and ignores any changes to the OS DNS cache (i.e. ipconfig /flushdns.More specifically, I'm creating multiple URLStream & URLRequest objects over a long period of time in a AIR application. Once the first one connects the host's IP address is cached for the lifetime of the application.And the URLRequest.useCache property,understandably,has no effect on DNS caching.how to force a host name to re-resolve inside a AIR (or Flash) application?
Note: Unfortunately, resolving the IP through a web service and rewriting the URL is not an option as a workaround.The use-case is downloading files from Amazon S3 using signed URLs which are invalidated if modified.
Update: The test results above were gathered on WinXP prior to AIR 1.5.2. Subsequent tests using 1.5.2 show serialized requests with URLStream.load() are re-resolved more frequently but still ignore TTL values.I still haven't figured out what conditions are necessary to trigger the re-resolution, but have noted a couple of cases that prevent it.For instance, if another asynchronous URLStream is active to the same host then requests use the cached IP address and are not resolved. And simply closing and dereferencing all streams to a host is not sufficient to ensure the same host name will be re-resolved in the next request.

Do FMS cores share the same FLV cache or does each core have it's own cache?

I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.

I have a form, when the user clicks reset, I want the flash file to reload so everything is back to it's intial settings.I should point out, its not on a server, it's just a local file, so I don't think I can use the .load function.

I have a simple flash website it is in AS3. Inside the website is a portfolio with a link to "print," "web," and "motion." When they click on motion, I have another swf that runs -- so far so good -- however, if they click off the "motion" page to look at any other page and then decide to go back to the "motion" page the swf no longer runs. The code I'm currently using is below. The swf that runs from the "motion" page is a component that I bought that is in AS2. Prior to buying it I asked the developer if it would work in AS3 and was told yes. I have posted these questions to the developer and have received no answer.

i'm working on a project that uses php and xml to link my database information with flash. I've successfully allowed flash to read the xml contents. I need to randomise the data i retrieved from the database, so my xml content will change everytime i refresh the browser. However, i realised that the flash content didn't change like the xml content. The script to read the xml is written on the 1st frame of my 1st scene. Is there a way to read the xml again everytime i refresh the browser or re-enter the scene?

I've searched the internet for hours looking for a solution. Seems like a few people have posted the same problems I am having but no solutions.
I have a flash project that contains a preloader. The project can be seen in this header[url]...
The flash animation plays fine when first loaded. However, when IE is RELOADED or REFRESHED, the animation gets stuck on the first frame I believe. The bizarre thing is that is works perfectly in FireFox after reloads.
I have tried multiple different embedding solutions and nothing fixes it. I suspect it could be the action script on the preloader. It is a one-frame preloader, and then the animation begins.[code]...

After searching the internet I found myself back here for the right answer. I've updated an swf for a client andin IE it won't reload without clearing the cache files. I know this is a common problem, but I couldn't quit figure out the best way to go about fixing it. I'd like to just add some actionscript to the swf if possible.

I have an html form within a flash site. The form is php processed. fix the php file so that after processing the form, the php returns the user to the flash page and reloads the html form. I tried a window.location in the php to send to the page but that did not work. It results in a white rectangle within the html code area (maybe frame but I'm not sure). How can I get just that html form reloaded? I do not want to load the entire page using a URL because that is too slow and I cannot replicate the flash state. BTW, below is a stripped down version of the code to simplify.

Tell me how to reload the movie itself, same like we embed a swf file on a web page, click browser's reload button so the flash movie reset to its original state?
But I want to do this from within the movie, when user click "reset" button, all the previous created instances will be released from memory. I can delete each object manually, but lots of work involved, also not sure if the resources are really free.

I'm trying to show a loop of SWF/JPG files in an existing SWF file. A timer decides when to load the new file and the external files are showing and scaling correctly during the first loop, but when the loop has run once I get really odd values on the external files with the Loader.height and Loader.width properties. The files have the following height values during the first loop: 278, 286, 278 and 787. During the second loop they all of a sudden have the following values, and of course don't scale correctly: 101.05, 786.8, 101.05, 2165.15.[code]...

I am making my own video player and am adding an SD/HD feature which will basically be moving to a replica page with the relevant definition video on it. I was wondering if it is possible to have it so when this is done, and the new frame loads the FlV will load at the same position as the previous one when the button was pressed?
So like a

I'm a AS3 beginner and are trying to make a nowplaying script for a local station where I do some work as volunteer.
The xml script that is created looks like [code]...
What I wanted to create is that flash takes information from the xml, the artist for example and compares this every 15 second with value it already has. If it's equal then do nothing else unload xml and movieclip and reload the new one.

I'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.

I've been reading a lot of threads lately because I'm working on a school project. But can't really find a solution to my current "problem"I'll try to explain this as clear as possible, as it is kinda complicated and English isn't my main language.I'm making a game for a school assignment, and I have 2 MovieClips. 1 = walkCycle and 2 = jumpCycle.I gave both of these MovieClips classes so I could use the addChild function.Everything works fine, the walk animation works, the jump animation works, but here comes my problem.I have an ENTER_FRAME check on the jumpCycle to discover whether it's finished playing or not because if it is (thats what the check is for) the jumpCycle needs to be removed again and the walkCycle added again.
And the problem is, the jumpCycle only works once...After this if I press the shift key again (the jump key), the walkCycle just disappears the amount of time the jumpCycle should play and then the walkCycle comes back again, but there's no jumpCycle animation.y guess is, because I checked if it's finished or not, it needs to be reloaded to be able to use it again or something?
