Talking about a main movie, or external .swfs loaded in that main movie?
If the latter, what's your loading code?

External swfs loaded into main via links on the main. Google says theres a whole issue on this with little or no resolve with few complicated AS scripts. Thanks if you have any ideas or directions.

The loader code
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var loading:Number;
var total:Number;
var percent:Number = 0;
var per:Number;
var percentage:String;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.10;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
LoadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}I am having this same problem with a project that I am working with. I'm wondering is this a dead thread? No resolution at this time or?
This does have an impact on what I'm doing as we have a complete flash site going up but what I'm seeing is that updates to the swf file are now showing up on our local clients. I'm pretty concerned that we're going to have huge issues with this site not updating properly if I can find a work around for the swf file not updating.
Hope someone has an answer or we may be scrubbing a ton of work for a straight html site.
Thanks,
Chris
I always makes things much harder than they should be... that way later I can slap myself in the forhead after spending hours and hours on two lines of code and say to myself "DUH!"

It looks like there is no efficient solution to this. There was one resolution I happened upon searching google. Sombody offered up some complex AS that wiped the swf cache from the clients computer. But it was too much work for me. I guess it's back to HTML.
You cannot clear or empty someone's cache.
And there is a solution to this.
It's simply to add a random number to the end of your movie's name, so that the browser is forced to request a new file from the server, rather than use a previously cached file if one exist.
