Hey All,

I’m working on a page that has a .swf animation that I would like to refresh after a certain amount of time (or when an event happens). I’ve done some searching and the closest thing I could find is navigating to the actual swf file (which I don’t want to do)

Currently i’m using

```auto

var url :String = stage.loaderInfo.url;
			var request :URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
			navigateToURL(request, "_self");

```

Instead of navigateToURL, i was wondering if there was something else I could call that will ONLY reload the contents of stage.loaderInfo.url and nothing else. Any help would be awesome.
