Trouble refreshing message posts

programming flash
1

Basically i’ve got a simple flash message board made using asp, access and flash. The problem i’ve encountered however is that once a comment has been submitted it can’t be viewed until the page has been closed and then reopened (refresh doesnt work).

Ie a user may see all the messages submitted up until the moment they first opened the page. Any submitted (by them or any other person) are not viewable until they close the page and reopen it (reachign the database without any problems).

I have attempted adding a random variable to the end of the url but doesnt seem to work as planned. have also attemted a to make it expire in the cache on a previous date.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, am a bit of noob when it comes to all this so could easily be something obvious :stuck_out_tongue:

Update: It is refreshing the flash content just not the data that is supposed to be being retrieved from the database, seems to only be requesting the variables the first time it is loaded.

Anyone had any similiar problems at all? Let me know if you need more information on the problem at all :jail:

I’m assuming you are using sendAndLoad (since you didn’t give us any code to look at). Within your loadVars.onLoad function, just have the script make another request to the asp script to reload the content.

Also, I like to append a random number to the query string on ALL flash related requests and event in the HTML where I call the swf itself.
