How to clear cache during development?

I don't want Flash to store the video and image files it pulls in when I test publish the swf. Somewhere it's keeping those files in cache, making it impossible to test a realistic download situation ( such as loading indicators, buffering bars, etc ) because the 'loading' file is immediately available in its entirety due to being stored in cache.
Anyone know how to control the caching behavior?
I am using:
Adobe Flash CS5
Windows XP PRo

When you pull content in from the Web, what type of files and how is it done? Are you testing in a browser?
If you see a "loading" bar for a video, I'd say it's being cached in a Web browser cache...
When you work "with a clear cache", how did you clear the cache?
Have you checked your Web browser cache before and after testing to see if the file is in the browser cache?
In FF you can check by typing "about:cache" in the address bar. In IE, it's a little harder in the new version but in XP you could view directly into the cache.
All that being said, I pupose you could add a time/date component to the file name so that your file always need new data, something like used in news-tickers, etc.
xmlData.load("news_ticker.xml?blarg="+new Date().getTime());
which requires a new time and date appended to this particular xml file, hence always requireing a new version of the file to be loaded.
Perhpas you could adapt that approach.
Best wishes,

    Quit Safari.
    Click out on your desktop somewhere to get Finder menu on the top menu bar.  Then look over to the right, and select the "Go" menu while holding down the "Option"button.  You will then see an option for "Library" right under your home folder on that list.
    That is your hidden Users Library.  Open that Library, go down to Caches.  Open that, and then look for apple.com.Safari.  Take that file to the trash.
    Restart Safari.
    I tried it, I do not know what the consequences are yet

    It''s a bit drastic, but that clears Safari cache. There's another way of clearing the cache:
    1. Open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Advanced, and tick "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    2. Close Preferences, and go to Develop menu > Delete cache

    how to clear caches using lion

    There are a number of 3rd-party apps that will delete caches, among other things.  The free OnyX is a good one.
    But, as a brody says, it's usually not a good idea to do that unless you're sure it's needed. 

  • How to clear cache after mime object is updated?

    Hi Expert,
        I create a mime object (such as "test1.jpg") in mime repository.
       In web dynpro, I add two UI elements: a formatted text edit and a File-Upload "Insert Image",
       after I click the File-Upload "Insert Image",
       I select an image file (such as test2.jpg) from local directory, and upload the content of the image file to mime object(test1.jpg) in mime repository.
       at the same time, I insert a line into formatted-text-edit as "<img src="/SAP/Public/.../test1.jpg" />".
       I double click the mime object (test1.jpg), its content has changed as test2.jpg,
       however, formatted-text-edit still displays the content of test1.jpg.
       When I mannually clear the cache of IE, and refresh the web, Formatted-text-edit display the content of test2.jpg.
      It's obvious that the cache of http server isn't cleared.

  • How to clear cache and cookies

    Hi guys,
    I am new to jsf. And I have one problem in jsf, How to clear cache and cookies.
    Please help me to solve this..

    clearing Java cache and cookies is different from clearing IE cache and cookies. Usually when you powercycle your computer it is automatically cleared. To clear manually:
    go to start--> settings--> control panel--> double click on Java icon. Click on "delete files" under temporary internet files or 'clear cache' in the 'cache' tab. It depends on which version of java and which OS you use on how these will show up.
    If you were having issues with java crashing or making your freezing up, this should resolve the issue. It is strongly suggested that you powercycle the computer as well after clearing the java cache.

  • How to clear cache in mavericks

    how to clear cache in mavericks ?

    You can use one of several good utilities:
    Mavericks Cache Cleaner
    Onyx
    Cocktail
    You will find them at www.macupdate.com.
    Also, you should startup in Safe Mode, then restart normally. This is a slow startup, but part of the process cleans out some system caches.
    I don't know what browser you use, but there should be some cache clearing options available.

  • HT1338 How to clear cache in OS X Lion?

    Hi I am very new to using Apple Mac... my pc is a OS X Lion... How do I clear my Cashe? It is a desktop pc....

    Hi Bompy,
    I had a similar problem but Apple telephone support provided an easy fix for me. 
    Go through the process to restart your computer.   As soon as the screen goes black, depress the Option and the Apple buttons at the same as you press the "R" and the "P" buttons.  Hold all four buttons down during the restart. 
    The screen will come on bright as if it is starting up like it regularly does.  Keep holding the four keys down and the screen will go black again and then after a few seconds, it will come on bright again and proceed to open as usual.  Let go of the four keys once the screen becomes bright again.  You have just cleared your cache and your computer will run faster. 
    I usually then go into my finder and click on utilities.  Then I click on disk utility and work my way through to repair disk permission.  If you have different hard drives (like an external backup), you might have to click on the MAC HD icon and then hit the repair permissions button on the screen.  It will usually start out saying that it will take about 1 - 3 hours, but it usually only takes about 5 minutes or so.  Once it is finished, click out of everything and you should be good to go.
    I have found that going through this process about every 3 - 4 weeks keeps my computer running really fast and it only takes about 10 minutes for everything.  You don't lose anything during the restart - it only clears cache items that slow the systems down.
    I'm not expert and I may not be using the correct terms, but it does work for me everytime.
    If you use the Internet extensively, you might also consider clearing cookies once or so a month.  Pull down the Safari icon and go to preferences and then go to privacy and the box will ask Remove All Website Data.  It will remove cookies and other tracking links that might slow down your system.  At the very least, it should help stop some of the endless emails that you'll get for products and sites from the sites you've visited.  The downside is that you might have to reengage some of the site you use regularly, such as banking sites, paypal, etc.  When you log on to them, they may say that you cannot proceed since you don't accept cookies.  Just type in the ID and password again (as usual) and it should open up like normal.
    Good luck.

  • How to clear cache for items after submitting the page ?

    db11gxe , apex 4.0 , firefox 24 ,
    hi all ,
    i have a non enterable pop-up lov and a report in the same page , and i search with the pop-up item , but the problem is when i click the search button ,
    the value in the pop-up is not deleted , and sure i want it cleared after i search ? how to do so ?
    thanks

    Surely, when you click the search button, the value in your item is required by the report (as a parameter).
    Create a button (RESET) with a branch back to the same page and use the clear cache in the branch

  • How to clear cache for XML data source?

    Hi All,
    I'm facing a problem loading XML data into Oracle using Oracle Data Integrator. The problem is ODI will cache the data of the XML file at the first time loading the data. And afterwards, when the XML file changed, ODI will load data from the cache.
    I did serveral testing on this. If I run the interface in local agent of the designer, I must restart the designer to clear the cache. If I run the interface in an agent, I must restart the agent to clear the cache.
    Below is my configuration:
    ODI version: 10.1.3.5.0
    The technology of the source: XML.
    JDBC driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
    Does anybody know how to clear the cache of the agent or XML?
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    Use drop_on_disc or dod in your JDBC URL .
    example ,
    jdbc:snps:xml?f=C:\mutation.xml&d=C:\mutation.xsd&lf=C:\mutation.log&ro=true&dod=yes
    The dod (drop_on_disc) drop automatically the schema when closing the JDBC connection.
    dod option must be the last option of the URL.
    This option removes the reference to the schema from the driver, and if the schema is store in memory, it also drops the schema. If the schema is stored in an external database (set via db_props), the driver tries to drop the database schema.
    Thanks,
    Sutirtha
