Flash :: Handle Manual .swf Caching?
Jul 8, 2011
I have a .swf in my rails application, located here:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf
It works fine, with one flaw, it gets cached often, so when we release a new version we are usually needing to tell the customers to clear their cache when they experience issues. My question is, how could I force the .swf to break cache when I release a new version? Something like:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf?timestamp=124158512132
I tried the above, but it did not seem to work.

I'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

I was wondering is there a difference between the processor usage when using tweenlite or animating the same clip manually? Considering it's vectors and also dynamic text with it.
Similarly, if we animate manually or copy the code snippet produced by that animation. Would that make a difference on the CPU usage?

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?

need a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.

In Flash what would be wiser? To use a PNG or import the vector and cache it as bitmap?

I am doing a flash that getting images from Database. Here is my problem, if I dont close my flash, Whenever I update the images in Database, flash doesnt update the image at the same time. (if I have the image at frame 1, then i go to frame 2, then i update Database, now i go back to frame 1 again, the image is not updated.) It seems like the Loader is caching the image. How can I update my image? Anybody knows why?

I attempted to update to 4.0.1, there was some kind of error and now many things are messed up. Essentially because of missing DLLs, the irony being that I figured out the problem and it wasn't related to the update at all. Is there any way that I can revert back to version 4.0.0 manually? Because I still have the 4.0.0 folder with all the required dlls and such..

Just to warn everyone using Windows 7 that in some cases Flash uses code that seems to be cached. At a certain point in time I knew my code was OK, but still it did not work correctly. I started looking at my trace results and suddenly discovered that it outputted code that was not in my sourcefile anymore.
To solve it, I renamed all AS files and then everything worked fine again.

i pass text strings from a configuration file into my Flex app, one of the strings i pass in is a mailto link which i use to allow users of my app to send me feedback. I recently needed to change this link however when i updated the link in my config file the change did not happen instantly in my Flex app. In fact i had to clear my cache (both browser and flash player) before the change showed up. This of course is fine for me but how can i be sure that users of the application also get the updated content? Is there a way to force a refresh of data loaded into my swf on other users browsers?
Finally is this an issue with my browser cache or the Flash player cache? Does the flash player only keep such data, like my email address, in memory while the app is in use and then clear once it is closed or does it cache this data for the next time the user wants to use the app?

I have updated the crossdomain.xml security settings for my site - but it seems that the older version is being cached in both IE and Chrome.I've checked the headers sent by the server and it's not sending any cache control headers that would be forcing the browsers to be caching crossdomain.xml.
In an attempt to get around the issue I've also linked to my crossdomain.xml file in an iframe on the site. This hasn't worked though and flash still seems to be using the old security settings.

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.

I have a web application developped using as3. The problem is that these application loads some image files, and add my watermark to them.What is happening is that these images are being cached by the browser, allowing the users who know how to access the tmp folder, to get these files, without my watermark.Adding the watermark previously to the image, is not an alternative for me, due the fact that when the a premium user is logged in the watermark is not added.How can I disable the caching?

I am developing an eLearning application in Flex which shows flv movies hosted on a webserver. If the app has many simultaneous users the download demand is quite high because a lot of users need to download the (same) movie(s). Is there a way I can precache this data in my flex client like storing it in the browsercache or something so that for later sessions the bandwidth demand is less high?

When Im loading an xml document, it's as if flash caches this document, and uses that cached version all the way (disregarding how many times I open and close the app) ... well, that's so until I open the xml file inside the browser (IE) and ctrl-F5 to refresh; that's when flash starts getting the updated xml. What's up with that? Is there a way to prevent flash from caching??

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.

I have a Flash file that is linked to 14 xml files using the E4X method. To keep the network activity to a minimum, I have it set up so that the xml files don't load until the relevant button is clicked (rather than have them all load at the beginning). I've been told I could further reduce network activity by using something called browser caching. There seem to be methods called "conditional HTTP" and "304 caching" but I can't really find a coherent tutorial on how to add this to the code.

I have an XML list that I need to sometimes sort manually, is that possible?So I have a main navigation system of tabs, (All Projects, Web Sites, Logos and Presentations)When the user clicks a tab say "Logos" on the main navigation system it filters the XML pages to show just the projects that have say Logos.Then the user selects one project and sees the details for that project, a large image with sub nav on the left built from the XML you see down below.This works.What I would like to do now is change the order that my XML buttons appear in the sub nav depending on what main nav tab they have clicked.Say they click "logos" I want the logo links will appear before the web site links.[code]

Using Actionscript 2, I'm a bit new to all the scripting stuff.I have a loader loading a couple of flash movies like this:loadMovieNum("sound.swf", 1);loadMovieNum("logo.swf", 2);loadMovieNum("mainmenus.swf", 3);Those 3 movies I need to go to the main section of the site. However, I would like the loader to also load the remaining movies needed to further navigate the site, but without displaying them now Kind of like 'caching' the rest of the site, so when the access is needed, there's no load time.

How do I prevent Flash from caching loaded images?
In my app a user make a change to an image and saves it back to the server as the same name. Flash then reloads the section and the new image should be reflected. However, it is not. The image looks fine on the server and is updated on the server...

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.

I made a gallery with an XML file but the problem is that after viewing it on the web and modifying the XML I don't see any difference...it's like I never even modified it...I'm guessing it's because the browser reads the XML file from the cache...how can I make the flash movie read the XML from the web every time it loads?

I put a swf file on a website, then I made some changes and replace the old version. However, some browsers seem to have some kind of cache to remember the last swf file, they only show the old version instead of the new one. What can I do to stop the browser caching the old version?

I have a numericStepper that has a change" listener that works just fine when using the up/down keys on the stepper (I can retrieve the value of the numericStepper). However, if the user manually types in a value and then clicks away from the stepper,From researching the web, I know that the "change" event is only activated via the up/down arrows on the numericStepper OR when the user presses the enter key in the numericStepper text field.y problem, I cannot retrieve the manual value typed into the numericStepper.The ".value" property always contains the last value set by the up/down arrows or pressing Enter
