Force cache, prevent same swfs from being loaded on each page

[tunejunkie]

Hello,
I have the same two .swf files that appear on just about every page of my site. Yet, each time I click on a new page, I see the .swfs load (white empty space for a few seconds, then the swf appears).

how can I force cache these files, so they appear automatically, no white areas, no loads?

I figured the browser would cache it automatically. maybe this is the case, but why do I get the empty white areas with delay?

thanks so much!

you can use php to send headers which make the browser pull the file from the cache:
