hi guys, it’s kate here!

I have a flash projecter exe file that uses loadMovie to load an external swf file e.g ([www.site.com/test.swf](http://www.site.com/test.swf)). What actionscript do i need to use to make the client flash file automatically refresh/load the external swf file at given intervals (e.g every hour/ day)

I’ve been stuck on this all day. Tried using setInterval function but i’m not very good. Ultimately, all the client swf file does is reload a new swf every hour or so.

Thanks for all your help!
