Is it for example safe to exclude this file from SVN? I would say that it should not be problem because when I delete this file, I can still load the XFL and the file is created again on the next save.

I have a flash movie that displays a list of movies. It uses an xml file to get this list.The xml file changes frequently.I'd like to know if there's a way with JavaScipt, to compare the xml file in the cache and the one in the server, if they are different, the script alerts the user and then refreshes the page.

I'm attempting to bring a swf file down to Firefox to cache but not actually execute. The swf comes from a different domain.
The following approach works in Chrome but not Firefox:
new Image().src = "www.other.com/foo.swf";
Firefox uses a separate cache for images.
This approach works in IE, but not Firefox:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="www.other.com/foo.swf" declare="1"></object>
The "declare" tells the browser to cache but not execute it. However, Firefox complains that the request is cross-domain.
I am using swfupload to upload files on a website, the problem that every time the user open the page which contains the upload button, the page loads completely then the flash file start loading from scratch every time the user visit the page with no cache. Is there a way to preload and cache .swf files in my asp.net page?
View 2 RepliesI 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.)
I am downloading large files in the browser using a swf coded in as3 that makes byte range http requests (using http:url....).This lets me download the files in chunks.Is it possible to manually cache the file byte ranges to the browser cache so that I can prevent wasting bandwidth if the client has already downloaded a portion of the file on the next visit? This would essentially be a "resume download" feature.
From what I can find on adobe livedocs, flash player will not allow this because of security issues. I just wanted to double check and see if anyone knew a way to do this
My ant buildfiles tell mxmlc.jar to recompile target mxml source. However, if the target mxml source file has not changed, either ant or mxmlc is ignoring the file and will not create a new swf. This is an annoyance because I'm editing files imported by the target mxml. I need it to rebuild when those files change. I'm guessing that the mxmlc is creating a cache file somewhere and comparing the target mxml (or maybe just a hash). Is this what is happening? What's the standard work-around? At the moment, I'm editing the target mxml just to cause a file change.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project that includes several flash elements developed using an XML method. The objects work fine in all browsers except IE. Here is the behavior in IE. You can interact with the objects fine the first time through, but if you leave the page and come back, you just get a perpetual loading symbol. You can get the object back by right clicking and pressing play, but that is an obnoxious work around. I think it is a caching error in IE, but I'm unsure how to fix it given that it is not occurring in other browsers.
View 1 Repliesi have a flash app that requests xml generated by a php script. The data doesn't change much, and i would like flash to cache the xml instead of loading it every time. I've been checking my access logs, and every single time i reload a page with the flash app on it, the php file is accessed and the xml downloaded.
I've read that flash doesn't control what is cached, as it just requests something from the browser, but nothing else that flash downloads (i.e. mp3 files that are supplied by the xml) doesn't get cached. So I'm not really sure what that means.
I've googled the heck out of this, but everything i find is telling me how to keep flash from caching stuff.
Here's the code i used (AS3):

Im developing an interactive in wich I use many animations either frame-by-frame (image-by-image) or with an embedded flv in the timeline and I have noticed that all of them don't play smoothly when first played, but once the animation has occured once they play the way its supposed to be. Im assuming is because once played an animation gets into the machine cache or something, so I wanna know if there is any way to force an animation to get into the display cache before is played.

View 4 RepliesI 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.

View 2 Repliesdoes flash cache images and text loaded in AS3 by default? The code does not have any LSO's or any other read write senarios in it Just supposed to load the flash app when the page is loaded, and re-load again clean when reloaded.ut I noticed today that the images were not completely loading in FF5/Win Chrome/Win but did in IE8. I cleaned out the cache on these web browsers and everything seemed to be OK again. But I need to trust the user wont find an issue.

Does anyone know why Flash videos do not cache when Initially downloaded.
If you wait for a flash video to download filly then refresh the browser the video shows the download bar loading again. Unlike images where the download bar only appears when you first load the image after that its cached in the browser.[url]...
I am new to Flash and ActionScript platform. Presently, I am using ActionScript 3.0.I know only basics of Flash but not in depth. My issue starts here: For example, In Windows Operating System, Paint-brush uses Clipboard for temporary storage. My question is: Does Flash have Cache(i.e., buffer for temporary storage)? If Flash has Cache, then where does the temporary data gets stored, in what form, is the data accessible or atleast viewable?

was going through the free trainings offered by them. The trainings were good but what surpried me that even though the videos are Flash based, they are not stored in the browser's cachewhich also uses Flash for videos, where the videos are stored temporarily in the browser's cache, this was not in this case. The following is the link for one of the video training which I played on my computer but I was unable to find any trace of it on my local hard-drive:I guess, if the videos are played, then there must be some temporary storage allocated in the hard drive. There are two questions I would like to ask:
View 8 RepliesI'm using a flash rotating banner in my website which takes images and descriptions from an XML file.
I do changes to my XML very often... but in my local machine, the banner takes a day or two to get updated.
Although I can clear my local machine's cache, the problem still remains for other users who visit my web page..
is there a programmatic way in flash or in html to overcome this problem ? Maybe a server configuration?

I've got a parent SWF that loads in a couple child SWFs. Even though my browser cache is cleared -- it's disabled, in fact -- reloading, or even restarting, the browser doesn't trigger the newest version of the child SWFs to load into the parent SWF. I can even delete the SWF off the FTP server, and it still gives me the last version that was up there.
What's caching the child SWFs, and how do I force them to refresh on my end? I'm not too concerned about the end user, because once the site development is over, the SWF files won't change very often. (They're all loading in XML files that have the cache disabled via PHP cache control and expires headers.)
I'm primarily using Firefox on PC and Mac, but it seems to do the same thing on IE/PC and Safari/Mac. The PC is using my ISP's DNS, and the Mac is using OpenDNS... not sure if that has anything to do with it. The site is hosted on Rackspace Cloud.
