Unique external .swf files with Time/Date

1

Hi All,

My sites home page is based on [font=Arial][color=#003366]Preloader[/color][/font][font=Verdana][size=4][color=#003366][font=Arial][size=2] and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial. T[color=black]his works very well. Two of the pages, News and Gallery I would like to make unique using the date and time functions so that if updated the viewer will always see the updated .swfs rather than the cached ones. [/color][/size][/font][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=4][color=#003366][font=Arial][size=2][color=black]I came across a thread some time ago which explained how to do this but have been unable to find it since and also would like to know how to implement it when using it in conjuction with:[/color][/size][/font][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
[font=Arial]Main MC Action:[/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
news_button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != “http://www.my_site/news.swf”) {
_root.section = “http://www.my_site/news.swf”;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);
}

and Transitions MC:

_root.section = “http://www.my_site/news.swf”;

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys.

I did a search but only got to threads this one and another one which still awaits feedback about caching jpgs. As you say I know there is a thread about a date/time solution because I came across it breiflly however cant find it at all now.

Yes I know thats what the subscribe to thread is for but I just didn’t have the time at that perticular time! :stuck_out_tongue:
