This is long (bare with me):
My question is : is there any other trick than the “random”, the “pragma no-cache” and the “set cache time to -1” that I can try to have the flash not be saved in a cache if a user clicks ‘back’ and opens the same swf file in the same internet explorer window but with new information?
explanation of my problem
The application I’m working on is a postcard application. The section of the application I have a problem with is this:
Step 1: The user has a choice of different backgrounds to use: let’s call them bg-A and bg-B.
Step 2: The user can click on either bg, the selected bg is loaded onto a database and then a new HTML file is loaded with an embedded swf file.
Step 3: The embedded swf file loads the bg specified in the database.
My cache problem occurs if the user clicks “back” on Step 3 and tries to choose the other bg – when the second swf file loads it loads with the old bg image even though it should be pulling the information from the database.
Now, I’ve tried the random ? ****, that didn’t work. I tried the meta - pragma - no cache… That doesn’t work… And I tried setting the cache time to 0 but that doesn’t work either.
The application DOES work when I load the second swf/html file in a new window every time the user selects a background. However, I’d rather not work that way because it would become problematic in the long run for usability and trouble-shooting for the customers.
