I find this a very difficult task, especially if your clients uses IE as a standard browser for their company. IE caches are a bit harder to get refreshed than other browsers. Sometimes, in worse case scenario, I put the "no-cache" coding in the HTML to prevent every browser/machine from caching. Doesn't help loading time on the next visit, but at least you know they are receiving the new dynamic content.
I have also heard that adding a variable to the end of the url in the address bar seems to make the browser think it is new content. For example, adding a "?var=1" and the end of your url will make browser think they are seeing new content and will not pull from the cache. ------Original Message------ From: Andrew Sinning Sender: [email protected] To: Flash Coders ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] does Flash check for code 304 (not modified) whenloading in another swf? Sent: Jan 21, 2010 5:34 AM I'm using AS2 and targeting Flash Player 8. When a movie loads in another swf (or an image for that matter), does it check the server to see if there's a newer version? I will often include a time-stamp as a query-string parameter to prevent loading a cached version, but what if I want do use the cached version except in instances where there is a newer version? Maybe this depends on the browser? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Nathan Mynarcik Interactive Web Developer [email protected] 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
