Clearing flash cache by code

I am using a Flash Component in our web site to show videos but I need a way to clear flash cache every time the page is loaded. Such a Flash Component configuration is based on an XML file to get the videos that will be played. Is there a way to do it using C# code?

Respectfully,

Jorge Maldonado

In the xml config file it most likely names the .xml playlist file. So in the config file is where you most likely do the change... something like:

xmlData.load("news_ticker/news_ticker.xml?blarg="+new Date().getTime());

For info on this method used in New Tickers.... toward bottom of page:

no, it's done by appending a query string that changes so the browser thinks you're loading a different file each time.

what file do you want to prevent retrieval from cache'ing?

I did not write the component, I bought it. You can take a look at it here:

http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/powerfull-video-player-flv-h-264-mp3-youtube-google-analytics-subtitles.html I do not have experience writing flash components, I am focused on C# programming, database design and implementation, and web application development.

The component is basically a video player that supports playlists and it is configured using 2 XML files: one for general configuration (PlayerSettings.xml) and another for playlists (PlayList.xml). The XML file that I really use is the one to configure playlists because it must change periodically in order to show a different set of videos every week or so. I wonder if this is the information you requested, if not, please let me know. I really appreciate your interest in helping solve my issue.

i only download and correct files if i'm hired.

from your description it sounds like you just need to load those xml files and not retrieve them from the cache.  if that's the case you'll need to edit the component and append a query string to the xml urls.
