Re: [Flashcoders] Windows IE Cache Problem
thanks for all your suggestions.

Add a dummy query to your url: instead of asking for www.myserver.com/myimage.jpg, ask for www.myserver.com/myimage.jpg? random=8764865 That should force a refresh.

Re: [Flashcoders] Windows IE Cache Problem
guess the very default routine to deal with cache should do
smthn.loadImage("webCamImg.jpg?dummy="+new Date()*1)

[Flashcoders] Windows IE Cache Problem
I have a client that has webcams that are sending images via ftp to a folder every 15 seconds to a static link and overwriting the previous image of the same name. I am bringing those images into a flash interface and am refreshing those images every 15 seconds with a setInterval loop. Everything works fine on all browsers except IE on windows. It is caching the image and not updating at all. Is there anyway, that I can force IE to dump the reference it has in the cache and pull in the newer image?
