it’s kind of a workaround but I would attach this code to my flash button

getURL(“JavaScript: MM\_Refresh()”);

and then in the html page the flash file appears it’s just a case of adding

function MM\_Refresh(){  
window.location.reload()  
}

someone may have a better solution but this is how I do it.
