Prevent Cache

[rob day]

I'm hoping someone can help me with a method to prevent loaded text or html files from being cached. In AS2 I used something like this:
_PageLoad.load("MyTextFile.html?r="+new Date().getTime());

I can't figure out how to get that to work with URLRequest. The sample code is a class which creates a text field and loads an html or text file from the first parameter. Thanks

append r to _URL.

Thanks. I was getting an error when I tried that and realized it was only a problem when I tested locally. I probably can live with that, but would there be a way to stop the error when I test from Flash?

not that i know about. in the local file system appended variables look like part of the file name.

You can test for the file system using the url property of a LoaderInfo
instance, and construct the string accordingly.

var li:LoaderInfo;
li = aDisplayObjectOnStage.loaderInfo;
// OR
li = aDisplayObjectOnStage.stage.loaderInfo;

var textFileUrl:String = "MyTextFile.html" +
li.url.indexOf("file:")==0 ? ""
: ("?r=" + new Date().getTime().toString());

_PageLoad.load(textFileUrl);

Thanks Raymond, I'll try that.
