Caching .txt files?

[claudiaanselmo]

In Flash 7 if you have a dynamic text field which is populated by an external .txt file I don't ever remember having to clear my cache to view my newly updated text. In Flash 8 this is now a problem. I want the main movie cached but not the dynamic text. I've looked around the forums and there are several solutions to not cache the entire thing. How do you not cache a .txt?

Thanks

append a changing variable to your load() or loadVariables() or loadVariablesNum() method:

textLV.load("textfile.txt?nocache="+Math.random());

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the dumb question:

where do I put that variable?

This is how I load it:

_root.blog_mc.loadVariables("blog_text.txt",_root.blog_text);

Thanks
