You can append a query string to any URL and this forces a reload of the data from the CLIENT.
For example, as someone has already pointed out. Main.swf?nocache="+(new Date()).getTime() You can also do this to your data file. myData.xml?nocache="+(new Date()).getTime() As you might have noticed, I was specific about this working to force reloading on the client. It has been my experience that this is not a 100% solution. There are some instances where the server will cache the data and query strings do not force the reloading of data. The server cache would eventually update after a few hours though. To be honest I do not know the solution to this part of the puzzle. I put that issue on the laps of the server administrator. I know that it took his several "patches" to fix the issue for users off domain. I do recall that people on the same domain were still getting caching issues. This was finally chalked up to a FOL (fact of life). To provide full disclosure, this was a fairly complex network and domain config. as it was for a major financial institution. So, the problem might have been self induced and thus unique to the company. Charles P.
