For one thing I would make sure that your
web server is sending the right cache headers on your previous version. But
your suggestion of adding a random string (like the build version) on the end
is also better as a guaranteed mechanism. Youll notice that a lot of
popular webapps do that to ensure no caching despite the fact that they
probably set their cache headers as well. IE is untrustworthy in this regard J

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex swf
caching
Hi,
What is the
best way to ensure that, when uploading a new version of our project to the
server, the client gets a new version of the swf file the next time he
refreshes his browser?
To ensure
that you have the latest version, we have to say that they should clear their
browsers cache and refresh, but were looking for a cleaner way to
solve this.
I was
thinking in terms of a build version in flex, that gets appended to the swf, so
main.swf?build=3129 , to ensure the client has the newest version.
Thanks
Jonas
