xml into swf update help

• Beech

  hey pvn,

  I have a flash project with all the content coming in an xml file which works great but when I update the xml file on the webserver it still uses the old one ... even when i reload, clear cache etc. When I do this locally it updates automatically. What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks in advance for the help :)

  could be a server or network cache. also, some browsers will hold referenced xml in memory limbo. flush the cache and all that, but be sure to leave the page with the swf first. if that don't do it, flush and then quit and relaunch the browser.

  IE doesn't like to check whether XML has been updated if it is on it's default setting of checking for newer versions of stored pages automatically, so you have to force it to reload the XML by appending a random number when you load it to give it a unique URL.

  This sort of explains it:
