Had a similar issue and I am not sure if this is the best fix but it worked for me. I had to place a null reference into the image source before reloading the same image on top of itself. I would try something like:
var url:String = "http://localhost/frame.png";; var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); framePNG.url= null; framePNG.url= sURL; framePNG.send(); I posted my issue here a few days ago #60062 <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/60062> .
