if a swf is already loaded and it’s stored in windows/temporary internet files, why should it load again from the server, if it’s the same thing.  
the best example for this is at the home page at [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com)  
the problem is that if the banner with the flash advertisment after the menu has already been loaded, why should it load again if you visit the same page?  
in comparison with the [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) banner i’ve got my example wich i try to make it work as on this site, on www.alohaarts.as.ro

some sed that the problem is with the browser, but i’ve tested [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) and my flash example in the same browser.

any ideas how i can make this work?
