When I change my Flash files and export them to DW (after publishing etc.). I replace the files on my DW page, and load them up to the server. But the files haven’t changed! It only works when I rename them, and load the renamed files to the server. Any tips or tricks?

regards

It sounds like the files are being cached, either locally by your browser, or remotely on your web server.

There have been a couple of threads on this within the last month. A forum search for “cache” should locate them.
