I have a swf file that loads images from a folder, one image after another. Those images names are: img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg.

Internet Explorer keeps showing me the old images even if I upload another three images, overwriting the old ones, and even if I use the “refresh” button. Using “refresh” option in Firefox, Opera and Safari is an outstanding succes.

But if I want to see my new uploaded images in Internet Explorer, I must create another IE window.

Is there any other way, any other solution to make a swf file autorefresh itself even in Internet Explorer? Did anyone find the right solution for this kind of problem?

Does anyone know the answer to make IE succesfully reload a swf file using actionscript? Or using anything else? Javascript perhaps…
