It should always work. Perhaps the url of the xml has a ? already in it?
public function nocache(url:String):String
{
var d:Date = new Date();
var nc:String = "nocache=" + d.getTime();
if (url.indexOf("?") > -1) return url + "&" + nc;
return url + "?" + nc;
}

Hey everyone,
I am loading in an external xml doc via
loadXML("url of xml");
To prevent browsers from caching the xml, I add at the end of the url string a
Date object like:
loadXML("url of xml"+"?nocache="+new Date().getTime());
This sometimes works and other times doesn't. The xml is the backbone to the
colors used in the UI of my site which goes black when the load doesn't work
properly.
I have tried to add an IOERROREvent function to catch the error and then supply
the url to the load function without the Date object appended.
Is there any checks or different directions I can take to prevent visitors from
sometimes having to refresh until the xml gets loaded correctly?
