Is it possible to unCache a loaded image (ie. jpg, gif etc.) from the loadMovie function? Something similar to the following:

var sUrl  
var sDate= new Date();  
//Add cache remover…  
sUrl= “[http://MyServer/scripts/MyFile.asp?x=](http://MyServer/scripts/MyFile.asp?x=)” + escape(sDate);  
loadVariablesNum (sUrl, “0”, “POST”);

In other words is it possible to do something like this?

MyMc.LoadMovie(“MyImage.jpg?x=” + escape(sDate));

well sDate = new Date() doesn’t really do anything that you can put into a variable string. All that does is initiallizes the time object in order for you to use time (hour/mins/secs) check out this article:
