Dynamic Text loading / updating

rondon_82 · 11-02-2009, 09:22 AM

I've made a website in Flash, it's the 1st time I've made a site with dynamic loading text.

The text loads, that is fine, however, when I update the .txt file, the webpage does not update until I delete my internet history. This obviously no use as I can't expect returning visitors to delete their cache every time they visit.

Does anyone have any fixes to this problem?

Cheers.

use url +"?"+ new Date().getTime() will solve your issue

Cheers for your response, I'll give that a try tonight.

Hopefully Nalini can help again, but anyone else who wants to help feel free.

I just tried the above fix, but with no luck. Do I need to type the URL of the .txt where it says "URL"? Do I need to type the .txt file in place of the "?" ?

Sorry if this is a simple question, my actionscript knowledge is fairly basic.

Cheers, Ron.
