how to ensure that the correct version of the swf is refreshed

[coolncalm]

Hi Ppl.

I know of the method where one can pass a query string to the embed tag of the swf with a randomly generated number... that, somehow doesnt seem to work anymore. Anyone know of a better way of doing this?

Need a solution ASAP. Very urgent.

[a_modified_dog]

"filename.swf?nocache="+getTimer()

does this help ?

query string within OBJECT and EMBED tags is required, you can also use FlashVars

 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="aquery.swf?var1=Hello"> 
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="var1=Hello">

<EMBED src="aquery.swf?var1=Hello"
FlashVars="var1=Hello"...

i provided an example of the format required, i thought you might be able to insert the correct params for no-cache ?
