sometimes have to refresh cache when no change was made

Dec 10, 2011 8:26 PM

I have a swf that's embedded in thus page http://jimslounge.com/publicDomain/captainVideo/

it can be launched by clicking on the button in the lower left of the page. It's a liquid layout that usually works fine but lately

I've noticed it sometimes goes black and fails to launch a video when clicking on a button in the swf. This can be fixed by reloading cache

bit I don't understand why that would happen when I didn't make any changes.

here's the code:

package {
