OK, this seems like it should be a simple fix:
I update the data on my various flex viewer applications once a month. That means turning off numerous map services for a short period of time. Even though it's only 1/2 hour or so, at the most, I regularly get emails & phone calls (usually from the same group) complaining that the site is "broken".
What I'd like to do is redirect the site to a temporary "being updated" page. I've gotten it to work - sort of. I have duplicate versions of both 'index.html' and 'default.htm' which show what I want, and I can substitute them for the original versions. The problem is that the viewer is so heavily dependent on cached data that the new "being updated" page won't load until the user does a page refresh/F5. And unless they think to do so (most don't), they will continue getting the "failed to load" error.
Is there any way to force the application to load a fresh version?
