I have trouble with the Flash caching issue. I am using flash 8 and set it to work with player v6. The swf is called “photo.swf”. I created a swf called tester and in the first and only frame in that swf I put the following code:  
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()\*10000);  
loadMovie(“photo.swf?uniq=”+myIdentifier,1);[/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]but nothing shows up. Isn’t this supposed to open photo.swf in tester.swf and solve the caching issue? Please help. [/FONT]

when using random timestamps - for me, they don’t ususally work locally, but once on the server, I have success there. With xml anyhow, I haven’t tried w/ and swf.
