Painful testing procedure because of cached files 2

[Sleidia]

Hello,

I'm working on a Flash/PHP/Mysql project and there is something I find totally annoying :

During testing, the flash file is being cached and each time I modify the included *.as file outside the movie, I have to re-publish the movie and delete swf file in the temporary internet files folder in order to see the changes taking effect in the browser!!

Is there a way to avoid that?

Just close the browser and re-open the page. Bookmark it to make it easier.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

Thanks Pixl8r

But unfortunately, it seems that I still ned to re-publish the *.swf file everytime the external *.as file is edited.

What is the purpose to have external files then????
Well, only Macromedia knows

You will have to re-publish the SWF in order for the .as changes to take effect.

In the same way, you will have to re-publish the SWF if you make changes to the .fla file.

Both the .fla file and the .as files are only used at compile-time, not run-time. The Flash Player doesn't even know these files exist. Therefore, there is no way to include new changes in .as files, except to republish the SWF.
