I don't think the text file is caching. The information in the text file is
called upon manually by the user of the flash movie.

Odd that the variable in which the text is stored doesn't clear once the
page is revisited. Flash can't permanently store the information without
having Shared Objects set up. (And they are not set up) I don't understand
how the text file could be cached since the user manually requests the
information after the page has loaded. The text information is being loaded
into a Flash variable. All commands within the Flash movie are referring to
an ASP file which draws from the text file.

The project is complex; so right now I'm focusing on using txt files. I'm
not a database guru yet.

I suggest you take this up in a Flash group...
