Hello!

Using flash component to render images and menus on my website. I noticed that every time I make a change to the content, I have to clear my cache so that I can see the changes I've made.

This is a BIG problem since one should not expect visitors to "clear" their cache every time they visit your site.

How can I get around this problem?

Thanks!

Use a separate preloader only first movie, which actually loads your Flash movie, appending an unique number to the movie's name when loading it. That will prevent the use of the cached files, and request a fresh one from the server.
