Flash and XML, looking for new images

Question

When I make changes to the XML file and haven't cleared my
browsers cache, it still displays the old information (FF and IE).
Our banner changes each week so I am constantly adding new stuff. I
also change a single graphic once a week, but the image name
doesn't change... So flash doesn't even load a new graphic when I
just replace an old one...
I am sure I am missing something easy...
Here is what the Flash looks like:
http://www.gracebrethren.org.
Is there any way to make Flash check for changes and updates each
time someone refreshes the page (say like an updated XML file
different than what's in cache, or an updated graphic)?
Let me know if you need any more information.

Right now the code looks like this:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("eventTicker.xml");
loader = new URLLoader(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
I am not sure what you mean by adding a variable with a
changing value.
If it helps, in the actual Flash document, the "Document
Class" is set to my class called "LoadEventData" where the code
above is stored. So I thought by making it that way, each time the
swf file was loaded it would make a new request to the specified
XML file. Do I have my theory correct?
