hi  
I’ve created a horizontal dynamic text scroller (like latest news ones found on some websites) in flash 8 with as2, and this swf file reads data from a .txt file.  
the problem is that when change the txt in the file, it doesnt show in my browser until i clear its cache. But if a client doesnt clear cache he will get the old text…

I would like to know how to prevent the browser from caching that swf content, any code or script will be most welcomed. I’ve tried to add \<meta\> tags in my html but of no use.

my embed code is like this:  
\<embed width=“980” height=“34” align=“left” wmode=“transparent” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)” src="/sitefolder/NewsTicker.swf" loop=“true” menu=“true” base=“[http://siteurl/sitefolder/NewsTicker/](http://siteurl/sitefolder/NewsTicker/)”\>\</embed\>
