I have an interesting problem. We have a flash widget that gets embedded by users that contains a loader that loads an external swf file. Sometimes they decide to embed multiple copies of the same widget on the same page.
Unfortunately, what happens is that the first time a user visits a page where the widget is embedded more than once, multiple requests for the external swf file are made to our web servers and the swf is actually downloaded multiple times (http status=200). It seems that flash loads twice and asks the browser to get the same external swf file twice and the browser does two simultaneous requests and since the file isn't in its cache, gets it twice. We see this behavior with about 30% of the time. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Our widget is embedded on MySpace and other sites which limit Flash with allowScriptAccess=never and allownetworking=internal. My initial thought was to use the shared object store as a kind of mutex lock while one of them is loading, but I thought I'd ask in case someone has a better solution.
