Hi there, my dynamic text fields display data from an Access DB. When the DB is updated and the page is refreshed the new data is not displayed, it is still the old data. Why is this happening to me? :trout: :puzzled:

how is the data brought into flash... do you link direct or do you have an asp page in between?

Yes there is a asp page which updates the dynamic content.

have you tied calling the asp page on its own to check the data is updated in what is produced...

If its still showing the old data then I would suspect that your asp page is being cached on the server..

is this a local server to you or isp

the asp page is returning the new values from the database. That's what's weird. It's just not getting to the flash. No it's a local server.

try using a no-cache script for your flash file.

this has never happened to me, but it's worth a shot.
