Hi all -
I have a question…I have seen some references to this in past posts, but the posts don’t seem to solve my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a page that loads 10 of the same swf. Each swf is given different flashvars, so each displays different infomation.
To stop the user from having to download each file over and over, I would like the browser to use the swf in the cache (so that I don’t have to load the same swf over and over…people go back to the same page again and again and see the same swf. I understand how to use a version query to ensure that people have the most up-to-date swf).
If I do NOT include a query when I load the swf (that is, I use sample.swf instead of sample.swf?randnum=xxx), this works fine when the user has “check for newer versions” set to “everytime I visit a page” in IE.
However, when the user has this setting set to “automatically,” the flashvars do not load.
If I do include a query, it (weirdly) works only most of the time…sometimes all of the swfs get the flashvars, sometimes only the first few do.
My sense from the previous posts is that there is no solution to this? I am hoping I am wrong…can I somehow call an swf that just gets the variables with a query (so the user can reload this small swf over and over without any problems) which then calls the bigger swf?
If so, is there a simple way to do this (I am using actionscript 3.0)? I am happy to look it up - just give me the general command to call a new swf and pass variables to it.
Thanks!
