I have a flash banner on my site and the file.swf is saved in the temporary internet files. When I update my flash banner(still testing purposes) the old one still loads. I have to go into the temp int files and delete the old file.swf. Then refresh the browser for it to work.

Is there anyway to set an expiration or have it not saved in the temp int files folder?

thanks

How a browser's caching works is usually set by the end user - but in this case you are concerned about your own ease of testing and not the general user in the future. And I assume you're talking about IE here, right?

Have you tried resetting this option:

Tools > Internet Options > General > Temporary Internet Files > Settings

If you set that to "Every time you visit the page" that could do it for you.
