Firefox - Browser Cache - Viewing Most updated Website

Jan 31, 2012 4:30 PM

Hi All

 

      I believe the problem i have is related to BROWSER CACHE ISSUE.

      in my website i read images using UI loader from folders on server. In FIREFOX, I cant see the most recent version of my website unless i manually empty the Cache.

      since my client will be replacing photos by himself in future, i was wondering if there is a solution INSIDE ACTIONSCRIPT CODING to take care of this problem, I dont

      know how much it makes sense to ask all viewers of the website to empty their cache before visiting the website. I have been searching the archive for it and couldnt

      get any result yet. Thanks .

    if you're loading something into flash, you can force it to be loaded from the server (and not the cache) by appending a changing query string to the object's url:

     

    yourloader.load(new URLRequest("yourfile.xyz?queryS="+Math.random()));
