Hi guys,

I have a problem with browser which attempts to cache my external txt files, which I link to my main flash file. The thing is after I update my txt file, the browser will still use old txt file in its cache. I know theres a tutorial on Kirupa which uses the following code

myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()\*10000);  
loadVariables(“myAnim.swf?uniq=”+myIdentifier,1);

I’ve used this, but it still can’t work. Can anyone help?

FYI, I loaded each variable

loadVariables(“1.txt”, “/”)  
loadVariables(“2.txt”, “/”)

at the very beginning of the movie. My site is 100% flash, and I am not using any html component. Pls help!
