What about writing a server-side script, that returns image to Flex app.
<mx:Image source="getImage.php?file=logo.jpg" />
getImage.php sets the HTTP headers like:
Php code:
<?php
// set expiry date to a past date
header("Expires: Tue, 26 Jul 1970 13:00:00 GMT");
// force always modified
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// HTTP/1.1, for proxies
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
// HTTP/1.0,
header("Pragma: no-cache");
// set content type of JPEG
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
// read the orignal jpeg
readfile($_REQUEST["file"]);
?>
Yet another way of doing things :)

Another trick is to put all your images on a single HTML page. When
you change an image, visit that page and do a hard refresh (Ctrl +
R?), which'll download the new images. Then go back to your Flex app
in the same browser window and you're set.
That was of course for development mode, and if you're not changing
the images too often.
