Hi guys,  
I have a problem with files getting stored in the Temp folder of a client’s machine.

When I host an SWF file on a site, that swf file gets downloaded to the client’s (in this case , my) machine in the Temporary Internet Files. Now, if that same SWF is loading a text file or an XML file stored on the server to read data, using either **LoadVars.load()** or \*\*XML.load() method \*\*and a relative URL as path, that text or XML file also gets stored in the Temp files of the client machine.

I wanted to know, is there a way to prevent the text files and XML files from getting downloaded to client machines ? Or is that the way the load method works ?

If the swf files has a need to make repeated loads of the same file, will it read from this downloaded file or will it make repeated calls to the server ?

Please tell me if I can clarify the problem more.  
Thanks for your help :beam:
