Re: FLASH: reload variables

[Muzak]

I thinnk it has been addressed here a few days ago, might have been another list though.

Anyway, if you add a random number to the file you're loading, the browser will consider this a new file every time.


loadVariablesNum ("highscore.cfm?randomVar="+random(10000), 0);


Just saw it on another list :-)


hth,
