macromedia players flash : Updated files don't load + Cannot clear swf from PC

I have started using flash, but find that after uploading a new file to my
server, Internet Explorer will not load the new file. If I delete the file from
my server the web page still plays the old file???? If I clear my cache,
history and cookies the file is still there. Flash player has been set up to
store 'None' from said websites, but still the file exists on my PC
somewhere???? Why can I not delete it and why does it not check for a new
version of the file???

This is a major bug and makes it impossible to test the files as I have to
give them a different name everytime and this is not always possible... please
please help me on this.:brokenheart;

this is not a flash player problem.
either your webserver or any proxyserver between you and the webserver is
likely to be configured to cache certain files for a specified amount of
time. so it´s not necessarily a browser cache problem, but a server cache
problem.
i had 2 customers with that problem.

cure: use a php page rather than an html page to display the swf, with the
php page starting with:

<?
header("Cache-Control:no-cache");
header("Pragma:no-cache");
header("Expires:-1");
?>

this code stops all servers from caching (hopefully)

goo luck
