Skills we’re looking for:

• Solid Flash development skills (AS1 / AS2) with experience in OOP with AS2
• Experience with Flash integration technologies (dynamic contents, XML).
• Bandwidth and performance friendly coding.
• Experience in game development

435 posts already if you google for “On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.”

So that’s the 436th then.

Loading XML files in Flash over an SSL Connection in Internet Explorer fails if the Pragma:no-cache or Cache-control:no-cache HTTP headers are set on the XML file.

Wow! I’ve been chewing on this one for a while… We have a Flash site running on https with dynamically generated XML content. The server always returned the Pragma:no-cache header so that the dynamic data isn’t cached in the browser.

The bug is especially hard to find because the request goes out to the server successfully, but the XML object in flash remains undefined for no apparent reason. Only after removing the header output on the server it started to work.

Not nice.

This MS bug report seems to be related.

This post has been replaced by a more recent one, including an application to test the caching behavior of Flash in different browsers.
