User blog:Penguin-Pal/Get most recent SWF files without clearing your cache

Hi everyone,

Have you ever wanted to get the most recent SWF file, but caching only shows the former version and then you need to clear your cache? Well, maybe you don't even want to clear your cache? If so, stick around and check these easy- cake -as-pie instructions.


 * What you need


 * A web browser with a JS console (all the main modern browsers have it).
 * A SWF file.
 * Only a few seconds.
 * No former knowledge in JS is requred.

Or if you want that in a single line:

Hope this help.
