Caching of php variables

Hello,

I’m experimenting with Flash MX 2004 and have made a small vocabulary quiz. I have words in a MySQL database and retrieve them using php and the following code:


var wordVars = new wordVars();

wordVars.onLoad = function(ok) {
	if (ok) {
		character.text = wordVars.chinese;
	}
};

wordVars.load("getword.php");

stop();

This sets a dynamic text field to contain a random chinese character that getword.php returns.

Now, this works fine in Opera and it sometimes works using Internet Explorer… The problem I run into is that sometimes I get the same character over and over. However this never happens in Opera.

My theory is that sometimes the result of the getword.php call gets cached somewhere… Could this be it? And how would I prevent that from happening? I appreciate any and all ideas!

Cheers!
