I’ve got a flash program that is working perfectly in firefox but not in IE. It is a program that cycles through real estate from a database. In IE, it loads the data from the search only when the search is unique, but when i try to hit the next button it comes back as blank. It seems like it is a caching issue, but I can’t figure out how to fix it. Any help?

------SOLUTION-------  
I tried a timestamp previously which glitched the system, but here is a workaround for anyone with a similar issue:

```auto

timestamp = new Date().getTime();
timestamp = timestamp * -1;
trace(timestamp);
test = test +"&stamp=" + timestamp;
trace(test);

```

I was receiving a negative timestamp and now that it is positive everything works. Also make sure that if the page is refreshing with data that you are including the timestamp change on a refreshed page.
