I used to be rather good in js, and I think i found your solution.
In AC_OETags.js, the function AC_GetArgs, change the following (line 200):
case "src":
case "movie":
args[i+1] = AC_AddExtension(args[i+1], ext);
ret.embedAttrs["src"] = args[i+1];
ret.params[srcParamName] = args[i+1];
break;
to this
case "src":
case "movie":
args[i+1] = AC_AddExtension(args[i+1], ext) + '?build=' + (new
Date()).getTime();
ret.embedAttrs["src"] = args[i+1];
ret.params[srcParamName] = args[i+1];
break;
The new Date() creates a date-object of the current moment and
getTime() return the milliseconds for that date since 1/1/1970 (GMT)
Hope it works,

think adding the "myapp.swf?build=12341234" (some timestamp) solution
looks cleanest, but I was wondering...
