I have a flash file which uploads an image, calls a php script to (which stores several various resized copies of the image in different directories), and then downloads the smallest resized image for the user to see.

The upload works fine and I have verified that the PHP file does everything I expect, the right files get created, resized, etc. The download also seems to complete successfully with no error callbacks triggered.

BUT, the imagePane shows the “sorry, error downloading file” message. If I refresh the browser the image shows up as expected. This must be a browser problem. Anyone know how to resolve this. I have tried to make the file that downloads unique by attaching “?unique=getTimer()” but the browser still won’t update the image until I hit refresh.

Thanks very much for any help.
