XML Caching issue in FLex

Question

private function loadGallery():void {
                theSend.url = "http://localhost/userMana/file.xml";
                theSend.send();
            }

I am calling this XML in Flex Tree and its works fine, but when after an update in XML it does not update back in my TREE unless i compile my flex builder again.

Answer 1

You could try flushing your local cache after you update. Stopping and starting "World Wide Web Publishing Service" (which is what it's called under Vista; XP will have a different name) should do it.

Answer 2

I usually do this by appending the time to the XML url:

var now:Date = new Date();
theSend.url = "http://localhost/userMana/file.xml?" + now.getTime();
theSend.send();

non-cached every time.
