  This code will replace the loadMovie function with a new one that will automatically prevent caching:

  var mcp = MovieClip.prototype
  mcp.oldLM = mcp.loadMovie;
  mcp.loadMovie = function(url) {
  var r = (this._url.charAt(0) == "f")?(""):("?r=" + getTimer())
  this.oldLM(url + r);
  }

  The function will add a 'random' number if you're not testing the file. (for a PC, you may have to replace the "f" with your drive name; trace (this._url) and replace the 'f' with whatever is first in the trace string.

  I just used this in a project; saves a lot of grief when there are multiple loadMovie commands used.
