    Hi everyone, most probably there is a solution for this... but...
    CACHE is evil... I dont know who came up with Temopary Internet Files Folder idea but this is the most frustrating part of everything.It is there and nobody cares for it or uses it, there is no need for that. What is does: just keeps junk on your hard drive. Flash runs from CASHE.Loads variables from CASHE. Does everything from there and not only Flash. Now try to create a dinamic page which dials with constantly changing variables. OK let me calm down now:
    THE PROBLEM:
    1. use meta tag "no-cache" = "no-effect"
    2. use &varloaded=1 = no effect ( flash makes a file in you temp. and reads from there.)
    What I try to do: a simple Perl-Flash counter. Try this:
    1. http://savco.virtualave.net.
    2. click on Conter link a see the hits
    3. go back and click again = same result should be hits=hits+1.
    4. empty the temp dir and do it again now you will get hits=hits+2 the one which which you missed because was in temp folder
    5. in HTML source meta tag = "no-cache" yea right
    6. go to your temp and look for file Flash.dat it is there a?
    Please people lets come up with idea what to do. I did not mean to sound like this Flash rocks thats it and I love it.

    Not entirely clear on your calls etc...

    But, how about this...

    When you load your page (ie tmpfile.txt)...
    setup a random number generator...
    then when you load your page try...

    tmpfile.txt?junk=234234 (your random number)

    this way it you are calling a unique page each time and the cache won't come into play...
