in the embed code, when you load a swf, and some xml just add a fake get variable on the end

name.swf?time = insert random number here (usually call a Unix timestap function)

This works in toolkits (see there for examples).

Not sure if it would cascade to a flash piece, but to prevent caching of the html loading page add the following to the <head></head> section of your web page:

<meta http-equiv=”cache-control” content=”no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate”>
<meta http-equiv=”Pragma” content=”no-cache”>
<meta http-equiv=”Expires” content=”-1”>

cacheing?
ka-ching?

I don't think streaming stuff gets cached anyway, so the bulky stuff is no problem.

But I'd like to force down everything else fresh each time (at least until it's stable).

swfs, xml's rlo's etc.
