When including xml files or when you load xml files, there's always an issue of flash caching the xml. I solved it on different place in my html and by generating a number and use that as parameter to fake a new file. But I was wondering can't krpano do this automagicly? <include url="test.xml" nocache="true" />

Thanks Klaus :) That last one would solve alot of problems.

But a quick question, that random, generates a random number. but that would reload a file every time. Is it possible to give it a range based on time? For instance what I do in flash is generate a number based on the date on 1 jan 1970 in ms, divided in minutes (/6000) or 5 min (/30000). So that would create a number that changes every minute (and not every time. thats better for server caching. Would that be possible? (generating a number based on time?)

No I dont want it to refresh everytime.

Let me describe our common situation:

We Build a tour,
upload it,
email customer,
customer has feedback. I dont like this color, can you make the hotspots bigger, the text has a type etc
we edit the tour,
upload to the same folder,
email customer
Customer says, I dont see things altered.

Now my boss asked me to come up with a solution for this common problem.

So I want the tour refresh certain elements (or just plain everything). But not EVERYTIME, Not Every click, Not every panorama. I can imagine a user spending 6min in a tour, clicking a round, but you dont want to reload every reusable element of the interface, or reloading globalconfiguration.xml thats included in every panorama xml.

But on my end, I dont want to edit some variable to a higher number (version number) and cross reference that to see if stuff changed. Nor do I want to upload new content to a new folder or different way.

So my solution was in my Flash interface, a timestamp that changes every 5min by taking the date from 1 jan 1970 (new Date()) and divide that with 5 * 60 * 1000 (5min in ms). So it has a new variable every 5min. This works fine for the Interface bits, but a great deal is still handled in krpano, and now Im looking for a similar solution I did in my Flash interface.

The set(timestamp, ... ); loadpano etc could work if I could generate a number every 5min (like I do in flash). Is this possible, or should I look @ javascript solution. Or should I make a function callback to my interface and let flash generate that number and send it back to krpano (seems slow)
