if you use SWFObject in your index.template.html or in your final HTML, and append the following js, the browser will never get the swf from the browser cache:
... "mySwf.swf?"+(new Date()).getTime() ... This will append a unique number at the end of the swf filename, making the browser think it's always a new file. or you could just clear the cache before every in-browser test. _______________________________________________________________ Joseph Balderson, Flash Platform Developer | http://joeflash.ca Brian Raymes wrote: > I have had similar problems when using I.E. 7/8.
