Hi guys,

We re-write part of a flash animation on the fly using PHP.

However, the image is always called logo.swf and it's being cached by Explorer 6.0

I've tried to force the pages to expire, force a no-cache header...

I've also tried adding a random string onto the end of the logo.swf?134432 like this, and IE insists upon caching it!

Anyway to FORCE IE to re-load this animation?

In my experience, the only way to do it is to close and then reopen your browser. Even CTRL-F5 still displays the cached swf.

I had the same problem with cacheing dynamic pages although I have never tried this with flash files try this link, it gets around caching by changing the headers. It may work for you.

There are alternate ways in the comments below the article.
