Flash app works in FF and Opera but not in IE

Question

Good day all,
I am not a flash fundie, but i am part of a project which has
run into a snag and i have been left to do research what is causing
the snag.
The testing browsers we used:
FireFox 3.0.5 (used in linux and windows) with Shockwave
Player 10.0 r15
Internet Explorer v6.x as well as v7.0.5730.13 (windows only)
Opera v9.63 (linux version)
We are building an online fixed odds poker game for a client.
Front end is flash and actionscript (v3) with the backend being a
combination of php and c++.
The issue:
When playing the game in Firefox (both in linux and windows)
one can play a game from preflop to flop to turn and to river. And
when you shuffle the deck each player gets new cards and each of
the mentioned stages has new cards, thus a new game. Note that the
game does work correctly in opera as well.
But when playing it in IE in windows we find that the first
game you play repeats; over and over again. As long as you place
your bets in the same order each time the same game will repeat
never ending. Change the order of your bets and the game throws a
developed communications error. Then you restart the game, you now
get whole new set of cards but when you reshuffle the deck at the
end of the game you get exactly the same cards again, and then if
you keep the order of the betting the same you will find that the
game repeats non-stop.
We have cleared the cache of IE, we have "cleared the cache"
of EVERYTHING! :P But still the issue persists in IE in windows.
The issue occurs on both the versions described earlier and occurs
on three separate PC's of which two are in our offices and one is a
home pc.
My experience in flash and action script is zero (i am a
php/JS/mysql programmer) but we have little resources and i am
standing in for the flash person who cannot get an opportunity to
to research this matter.
Any questions you have, feel free to ask. Any remarks or
feedback or opinion you may have feel free to give it with as much
technical details as you prefer. I will pass all details i receive
on to the Flash developer.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

How are you getting the data for the dealt cards?
If it is thru some external data source, using a url to call
it in, you can try adding ?nocache= XX
where XX is a randomly generated number (so it isn't the same
all the time) The significance of using nocache as a variable name
is probably none... meaning it could probably be called
anything.
