file/cache not updating?!

[chadbo]

hello all,

I've worked on a site apart from my powweb hosted site for a couple years. It's hosted on a university server, and i have a flash file (created w/ swish) that i use on the main page for news updates etc. The problem is for some crazy reason some Netscape browsers and occasionally embedded ie browsers (like cs) are pulling up an old flash file from january!! it doesn't even exist anymore. How can i get this resolved. Does the university admin have to manually delete the cache or what?


thanks ahead of time for any help.....

I've never really used Flash, but if the problem is Netscape browsers and the CompuServe software (which also uses Netscape for its browser) then the problem is in the source code for the page that's causing this problem. I would bet that whoever wrote the code for loading the Flash file made some provision to accomodate pre-v6.0 Netscape browsers and that code is not getting updated to point to your new Flash file.

Post the code that calls the Flash file and I'd bet someone here can spot the trouble.
