cache problems...PHP & FLASH MX

[whodatman]

I'm having problems getting my PHP content...to "refresh".

I have a site....100% Flash...with a dynamic window...that get's data dyanamcially via PHP.

Bringing in the data is no problem....but if I refresh the page...my content is not updated.

I have tried all the META tags....like ..."no cache"...."refresh".

Nothing works.

I wanted to know if there is some type of syntax or something within Flash itself....to "make it" reload the content of this dynamic window?

Please Help!

We should maybe add a few different ways of doing this no cache thing to that tutorial.

I really like Sens string prototype method and you can use it easily across multiple files.

I should bring this up to Kirupa

ok...not working....I'm confused.

This is what I have currently:
A dynamic window with a varible name of "myVar", within a Moive Clip.

I have the following actions assisgned to the Movie Clip:


onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("http://localhost/test.php", this, "GET");
}

Test.php looks like this:





<?php

$x = "abc";
print "myVar=$x";
?>

This all works fine. (except for the caching problems)
How would I alter the above to what you guys suggested?

Sorry for my ignorance...and thanks for the help in advance!

onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("http://localhost/test.php?uniqueID="+getTimer(), this, "GET");
}

Should work. Keep in mind that your file is already cached, so you need to clear your cache to see the new file with the no cache code.
