Question

Hi I face some problem with my flash script. Here is my code

onFrame (1) {
   mySound = new Sound();
   mySound.loadSound("http://www.mysite.com/spot_mixdown.mp3 ");
   mySound.start(0, 0);
}

that play .mp3 file from my website at the first frame. It’s work for me!

But when I update spot_mixdown.mp3 (change sound inside but use same filename) on my website and then reload webpage, a sound is not change.

How do I fix it? or another way to do.

Thank you.

Your browser is probably caching the mp3. You can prevent this by adding a unique sequence to the end of the URL for the mp3. (Also, I think you want to get rid of the space). Generally, either new Date().getTime() or Math.random() is sufficient.

mySound.loadSound(
      "http://www.mysite.com/spot_mixdown.mp3?cachestopper=" + 
          new Date().getTIme());
