Hi,
How can i make the browser automatically get a new swf file.
For example, i have a web page that used main.swf. When I modified this file and overwrite it, the browser still used the old swf file because the file still exist in temporary internet folder. I can empty my folder, but other viewers may not be able to see the new one. :rambo:
