Loading Text files, with no caching

I am having problems with a flash file I authored a long time ago.

Basically I am calling an external text file, to get a date and various other information. It was only today that I noticed it hasn’t been updating for a while (probably the last time I cleared out my temporary internet files)

I guess this is because it is a cached version.

I remember coming across some code ages ago, which created a random number and therefore forced Flash to load the latest up to date version of an external movie.

I guess the same applies to this as well, can anyone help me with some code?
