Cool, that is the first and simplest full solution I have seen posted.
Excellent subject wording also, this will help many folks in the future.

Subject: [flexcoders] Cache Buster, HTML Wrapper SOLVED
Hi all, I have ben poking around on this Cache issue, and did find
out this:
In some cases, the browser will not refresh your application
properly, even if the cache has been emptied, which can be very
frustrating.
by adding a script which will add a random number on the end of a
query string in the filename, fooling the browser into thinking we
want to access a unique URL each and every time the HTML page is
refreshed. The term cache buster is a bit of a misnomer, since
you're not really bypassing the browser cache, as the SWF will still
get cached upon each and every page refresh. It's just that the
browser will always fetch the SWF from the server instead of using
the one that it already has in its cache, thus solving the browser
cache latency problem.
changes in the index.template.html file is located in your project
folder under html-template dir. alter this on line 72 if you are
using the default settings in flex builder 3 and sdk 3.2:
AC_FL_RunContent(
src, ${swf}?nocache=+(new Date()).getTime(),
remember to clean project!!
Verify the query string has been added to the filename in the browser.
If you are using Firefox as your browser, you can do this by
selecting Tools Page Info Media tab.
