Re: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML
For those who need a little more tighter control of no-cache on their webserver. You can evidently control your no-cache via an .htacess in the required directory. http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-speed-cache-control.html It also looks like you can set the no-cache per file type, i.e - .swf I got this from someone on my PHP list. Thought it was interesting, so I am passing it on. HTHs someone Karl On Apr 5, 2010, at 8:29 PM, Nathan Mynarcik wrote: The nocache in the SWFObject is so the swf isn't cached. I also use the same treatment for the XML that is loaded into the swf. That along with the META tags that call for no caching and that does the trick. I guess for safety purposes, I could add your script as well. Might be overkill, but if it prevents every browser from caching, so be it.

I noticed on your site that you have the no-cache in the swfobject. Maybe if the no-cache was associated with the html file that the swfobject was embedded/placed in, it would work? I believe, but no proof atm, that the code I supplied will make sure nothing in the html will cache. Not the html page nor its contents. But I can not validate that atm.

Seems to be a no-cache method that works. Nathan, I know you said you figured out your issue, but for anyone else looking for a no-cache code, here you go. ?php Header( Cache-Control: no-cache); Header( Cache-Control: must-revalidate); ? I believe if this php is put before the !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC... of your HTML, It will control the headers of the document and will not let the page cache. I am going to test myself, but has anyone used something like this? I want to find a simple solution to this no-cache thing, I am thinking I have found it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Full screen with AIR 1.5
I don't know about AIR, but this AS3 code works for exes, standalone swfs, and html-embedded: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN Btw, have you checked if stage is not a null? As3 requires that the object that calls the stage is a child of the stage. If you're calling it from anything that's not a movieclip/sprite that's already part of the stage's display list, it will fail. Workarounds: place your code in the Main class or movie clips placed on the stage in the IDE. Alternatively, use ADDDED_TO_STAGE listener on movie clips or get the reference from a stage child.

[Flashcoders] IE8 - Strange display behaviour
Hi all, I have been experiencing some strange display behaviours with IE8 lately. I did a module for Joomla that displays a Flash based menu. In IE8 it loads fine the first time, but as soon as I change page, the menu doesn't show anymore. If you have the IE Developper Toolbar, you'll see in the Scripts Console the traces from Flash (gotta love ExternalInterface.call(console.log, trace from flash) !! ) So with that I know all the data is here, I know wich menu item is supposed to be visible and yet, nothing shows. Could it be the CSS ? or the Flash Player in IE8 ? (got the latest version). I'm using SWFObject 2.2 for embedding. Tested on WinXP. Safari, Firefox and Opera all display the menu. the website is http://www.creativeflats.com Hope someone can help me figure this out ! thks !

[Flashcoders] RE: Zinc question about focus
I didn't realize there was a Zinc forum, but for the sake of anyone curious about my post, here's the solution I discovered: I just had to add another line of code (any arbitrary line would do) to bring the mdm.System.exec(filePath); call back to the exe to avoid a first click that does nothing but sets focus. The arbitrary line of code brings that missing focus back. My line of code was: var refocusMe:String = refocus me; That solved the issue. - MM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
