hi there,

I’ve got my site up and it plays great - the first time. The problem is, when you’ve visited the site once (and it’s saved within your computers cookies) it will play slow when you return to it.

Can somebody please check it out and give me some ideas on how to keep this from happening?

Thanks very much!

ur URL gets filtered out in the forums. So nobody can test it.

didn’t slow down for me, but if you’re 100% sure it comes from the cacheing of the swf just forbid the visitor’s computer to store it using this metatag:

```php

<META HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

```

but the visitor will have to load it each time…

Hey guys,

Thanks for the feedback.

mlkdesign, I used your code but it seems as though the movie is still being stored in the user’s cache. maybe I put it in wrong.

Am I supposed to replace the line below with it, or do I just insert it somewhere?

Also, I gather it’s PHP. Does this matter, I’m not sure I used any PHP (I don’t know squat about what PHP may or may not be).

Thanks a million!

make sure there’s no ] before it -

i checked your html files and didn’t see no-cache tag inside them - maybe you didn’t upload the files yet ?

edit: actually there was on the ‘real’ site - and it loaded each time - the no-cache worked 😉
