I know I should probably be asking this on a specialized forum, but actionscript.org is having password reset problems.
As a sanity-saving measure, I’m loading one swf - let’s call it cargo.swf - into another swf that we can call container.swf (why? Long story, but I’ve got a pit thread from about six months ago that gets into something related).
If I make a change to cargo.swf, that change does not go through in the context of a full web page where container.swf is loaded. It does, though, on an html document that has nothing but container.swf.
What I’ve tried so far:
Moved a logo in cargo.swf: Change is visible on a page with nothing but container.swf, but not on the full page.
Put a purple splorch on cargo.swf: On page with nothing but container.swf, it’s as expected splorch. Full web page, it doesn’t work.
Copied the code from the page that has nothing but the swf and pasted it into the full web page. Maybe there was a typo I’d overlooked. Nope, still the same result.
Renamed the page. No joy.
Renamed container.swf. No such luck.
Renamed cargo.swf and pointed container.swf at it. Cargo2.swf doesn’t load at all. Again, though, it does work when loaded by itself.
Is there some bizarre caching issue I’m not aware of? I’d really appreciate knowing a way to beat this thing, because it’s going to save me many, many hours of work this weekend and in the future.
