Hello every one,
I am creating a banner in flash, this flash moive reads the images that it
needs to load from xml file
here is where the problem happens...this xml file needs to updated once in the
while so that new images can be loaded inot the movie..but the browser caches
the xml file ..so it doesnot read it from the server it reads it from the
cached xml in the browser...therefore when i upate the xml ..it doesnot update
my flash movie...how do i go around this issue?

You need to supply the browser with a unique URL so it doesn't recognize the
cache:

myXML.load("xmlfile.xml?nocache="+escape(new Date()));

Good luck!

That works? Shouldn't it be:
escape(new Date().toString());
?

Hi, you're correct indeed (for AS2). Technically it converts it to String
implicitly as can be shown with:

trace(escape(new _global["Date"]()));

working in AS2...

but the compiler would otherwise complain for the type.
