That's similar to what I am doing. I know for a fact that the url doesn't
already have a "?" in it.
I have no clue why on some visits, the colors and other xml data is not pulled.
Then on a refresh it pulls them.

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;
}
