I have a webcam programmed to take a snapshot (webcam.jpg) and to upload that image via ftp every two minutes. The problem I am running into is that the image/swf gets cached and so the user doesn't see the updated image. I've searched high and low for a solution and can't find a thing. Is there a way to force a fresh load of the swf that will also force a fresh load of that webcam.jpg that is dynamically loaded? Or is there a bit of actionscript that will only force a refresh of the image, but not the .swf? I don't forsee having to do many changes to the Flash file, so maybe just the image refresh will be fine.
I am open to any other suggestions that might make this thing work/function better.
note: credit must go to Mike Davidson at mikeindustries.com for the webcam header idea.
Thanks.
