Flash and Web Caching

Hi

I have a flash player that cycles through images. It can be seen here:

http://www.rapforums.com

This player reads from an XML file that indicates the image locations.

I've noticed that when I upload the XML file after changes, the browser will use the old cached version. If i go straight to the XML file's url and refresh it, everything works as expected. This is the same with images uploaded with the same name.

I don't want the users of the site to manually refresh their cache (obviously). Is there any thing I can do from either the Flash or server side scripting to solve this?

I am using PHP and have access to the .fla and .as files (although I am not a flash developer - I hired someone to make the player)

Thanks!
