When creating an xml driven flash application. what’s the best way to kill the cache so that your .swf and/or xml file are loaded fresh each time?

I imagine you need to kill the browser cache somehow to keep the .swf new, but in this case I guess as long as the xml file is loaded new by the .swf it should work fine…

I tried the random number thing but I’m not sure if that works with xml???

help!!!
