ActionScript 2.0 :: Preventing Caching Of Loaded Txt And Xml Files?
Apr 24, 2005
I'm having trouble with my text and xml files seeming to be cached. They are altered by a php script called from flash, and this overwrites the text files correctly, but when they are reloaded into flash (eg. when the page is refreshed) the old data is still being used.I was reading this article and was interested in this line:
Code:
input_xml.load(xml_file + "?uniq=" + new Date().getTime());
could someone please explain why this would work, and whether this would prevent the problem that I'm having. I'm presuming that this unique number is never used in any way, it just forces the new file to be loaded, but I'm just a bit unsure why.

edit: Resolved; my ActionScript function for parsing the mySQL results didn't correctly interpret a recently modified column, and the corrupted new output happened to be identical to the old output.
I have created an application that accesses a PHP/mySQL database, but it caches old information.
I used the workaround from Adobe's website, where I append '+ new Date().getTime()' to the URLRequest String, but the application continues to use the old data.
When I trace the URLRequest String and C&P it into a browser window, however, I receive the correct data.

In my main movie I am loading external swf files. The proplem is that these files are cached so when they load the updates aren't shown. I've read some stuff about loading vars or xml with a random function to prevent it from caching, can that work with swf files? Maybe something like:
loadMovie ("news.swf?="+random(1000),_root.dropPage_mc);
I've placed the meta tags in the main html to stop that from caching; which doesn't really work. Could the same be applied in the html? Or maybe a php function when loading the main flash movie?
The files that are loaded are only a few kb so I'm not worried about the user having to load the files everytime.

Is there way force the browser to retain previously viewed FLV files? I've noticed using the normal netstream set-up that even if you've fully loaded and viewed a video it will have to load it again from scratch each time you come back to it. Shouldn't the file be in the user's cache?

I've created a Flex application and the size of the swf file is ~900KB. My trouble is that the files are not getting cached. When I launch the application for the second time, the swf file is fetched again from the server. I'm including the swf file in a jsp, and I'm not modifying any HTTP Caching Headers. I assumed that the swf files will be cached automatically. Isn't it so? How do I forcefully cache the file? Do I need to provide anything in the MXML code or just a response.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=100"); is enough? Can anything be done from the flex side itself?

I would like to create some AMF files for caching on a server.
I am wondering if the best approach is to reconfigure BlazeDS to create these files so it spits out local files?
Or if is possible to use as3 itself to create the files.

Why on earth doesn't Safari on Windows use cached files...
When the movie's been downloaded and cached for IE & FF, on a refresh, Safari insist on re-downloading a fresh file from the server, again & again...
If it does, where the hell in Settings can you set it so that it'll favor cached files if they exist, rather than downloading a fresh one from the server...

I currently have an AS3 swf that uses a loader to load in various other swfs, some AS3 some AS2. I load in all the swfs at the start and store them in an array for when they are need later. This works fine with the AS3 swfs, as they all have eventListeners for the ADDED_TO_STAGE event and so won't start until I need them. Unfortuantely, I haven't found a similar solution for the AS2 swfs, and they will run immediatley as I load them. Is there any way to stop this?

The problem is class files being cached in external swfs when they are loaded into another swf. (as2-cs3). In a nutshell, we've got a clip on the stage that is linked to a class. You can make changes to the class, pub the swf and everything works fine. When we then load that swf into our application swf, the changes are all lost, and it "reverts back" to a previous version of the class.

I am running into a curious problem with Flash CS4 Professional.I am running Windows XP Professional SP3, and working locally off my hard drive using SVN for version control.The problem I am having is with loading an external SWF into my "master" SWF.I am using ActionScript 2 exporting to Flash 8 (due to project requirements). When I run the SWF that is being loaded externally (standalone), it shows my changes from when I modify my class files. However, once I load it into the master SWF, the changes are not visible. If I modify the FLA itself, the changes are shown, its just when I modify any class files, the changes do not show.This is very strange and I have no idea why I am having this issue.I have outputted the _url of the SWF and it is loading the correct file.I tested it on another machine, and I did not run into the same problem.I deleted everything out of the ASO folder and that did not fix anything. Since I am not the administrator on my machine, I have tried everything other than reinstalling Flash.

I have this PHP page that lists several people. When someone clicks on one of the people they are sent to another PHP page that has their video greeting in a .swf embedded into the page. This works by the php writing the path to the greeting video to the xml file that the .swf loads and plays.
Well in firefox it works perfect, but in IE when they try to click on another greeting the original greeting still plays. Its like the swf is caching the first greeting and refresh of the page does nothing to alleviate this. Is this a problem with the swf caching? or XML caching? or am I totally clueless?

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I have the action script that loads external SWFs on a button click, but I don't know how to make it so that the slides switch after a few seconds on their own as well as on a button click. I know it has to do with a timer - but I have no idea how to do that (i'm super new to AS) Can someone please either tell me what code I need there or direct me to atutorialHere's the code I'm using so far:
var Xpos:Number = 0;var Ypos:Number = 0;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();

trying to create a universal fla file (shell.fla) in which I can load any swf file and control it from buttons in the shell itself. The buttons being play, pause, rewind, magnify etc.I�ve done all this in AS2 and now I have to do it in AS3. See my website [URL] E-Training - Motor to get a better idea of what I mean.The shell file has three buttons so far with instances called playMovie, stopMovie changeMovie and a dynamic text field - movieNumber. It is bound to the class Shell. The swf files to be loaded are numerical 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf etc. If I can get playMovie, stopMovie to work I can then do the rest.Here is my code so far for the class Shell.as:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

1. How can I kill, unload, removeChild the preceding swf file which has been loaded? When I load a swf file it creates a new loader.
2. On the onPlayClick and onStopClick buttons I get the following error message:

I have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.

I used Gaia framework to build a self-scrolling slideshow. There are only 4 pages in all, but I have realized to my dismay that each of these pages are requested over and over from the server. If you leave the page open and the animation goes by itself, that can clobber our server.
What can I do to prevent this? I wonder if there is a way of writing a URLRequest so the pragma header can tell the browser to use the swf from its cache rather than requesting it again?
Note that I am not using SWFaddress so the requests are going to the same URI.
