Hi Michael,
I address the problem of testing cache-busting code in the IDE in my blog:
http://blog.neo-archaic.net/2006/08/02/nocache-for-javascript-and-flash.htm
Basically, what you need to do is check for System.capabilites.playerType
before adding the cache-buster to the url.
var loader:MovieClipLoader;
var viewLoader:MovieClip;
var url:String = "images/catalogue/collection/cat1.jpg";
if (System.capabilities.playerType == "PlugIn"
|| System.capabilities.playerType == "ActiveX"){
url+="?nocache="+new Date().getTime();
}
loader.loadClip (url, viewLoader);
This, of course, won't prevent the other problem you mentioned, large files
downloading multiple times, but it can be quite handy for often-updated
content.
Ah, thanks! That looks like something that could be an option for my
loading package.
