How can I display the current version of FLASH on the Google Chrome and Firefox browser?
I have a flash website that shows fine in Intenet Explorer. When I update the flash file, it shows the new flash. However, I go to Firefox or GoogleChrome and it displys an older vesion of the flash and I dont know why. Can anyone help me with this?

It's almost certainly your browsers cache. If the name of the Flash file hasn't changed, your browser may think it has the current version and therefore it thinks it doesn't need to download the file again.
Eventually, depending on your browser settings it would download the file again, but that may not automatically happen for days or weeks. You can force your browser to download the file again by clearing the browser cache.

It shows the old version of the flash to first time visitors. It must be some type of setting or something that I cannot see.

I will check out those links to see if they work.

It's still retrieving the old flash. The flash is updated on the website so I dont know what the problem is
What kind of hosting environment are you using is it some kind of scalable solution or mirroring solution say for example Amazon EC2 or Rackspace's cloud. Because if you are its possible that the flash file hasn't copied over to all the mirrors. I know this is a bit of a long shot, but its a thought.

How would I find that information out? That sounds like it may be the issue.
You'll likely need to contact your hosting provider, but I'd double check that the file I'm uploading is the right one first.

Checking with them now. I change the name of the fileeverytime I upload so it should be different.
