In my experience Flash never obeyed the No-Cache metatag since I began working with Flash in version 4, it supposedly doesn't work for plugins, just the HTML of the page itself. The problem is not one of caching -- the browser will always cache the SWF unless you use some form of dynamic SWF encryption like Nitro-LM -- but that the browser uses the cashed SWF more than once. The best way to ensure that the browser always reloads the SWF from the server and not the cache, is to use SWFObject or JS to instantiate the OBJECT/EMBED tags for the flash plugin, and at the end of the SWF filename, append the following JS: ... myApp.swf?"+(new Date()).getTime() ... This will create a unique string at the end of the filename, and the browser will think it's a unique file every time, thus loading the SWF from the server, every time. What I did was modify the index.template.html file to work with SWFObject, and append that JS on the end while I'm testing my application. See if that works. _______________________________________________________________ Joseph Balderson, Flash Platform Developer | http://joeflash.ca Tim Rowe wrote: > Though you seem to have this figured out, might I suggest that you add a > build number to your compiled project somewhere that you can verify when > loading it?
