I am using the loader component to load swf files into my main movie. The problem is that swf files are being cached and when they are updated I dont see the changes. Its fine if I delete my cache, but I make people do that everytime they come to my site.

I tried doing:

myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()\*10000);  
page\_loader.contentPath = “news.swf?uniq=”+myIdentifier;

But, not luck. Anyone know how I can do this with the loader component.
