Answered my own problem.
Apparently I wanted to do getCurrentMessages() as getMessages() only
retrieves messages from the internal $_messages property (from the
previous request) but not those stored in $_session. addMessage() only
puts them in $_session.
Also, the getMessages() method is a little wonky. It says in the
Docbloc that there's a parameter but there isn't.
Anyways, all is working now.

Hi All,
I'm having a bit of an issue with the FlashMessenger controller
helper.
After adding a message in my controller:
$this->_flashMessenger->addMessage('new message '.date(DATE_RFC2822));
I later on (in a view helper) want to retrieve the messages so I do
this, which I think is correct:
$messages =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker
::getExistingHelper('FlashMessenger');
The problem is that the messages don't seem to show up until the
following page load.
On a request the page loads and everything seems fine but no
messages. If I hit refresh, the messages from the previous request
show up and the ones from that request show up in the next request
and so on.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there some possibility that
the messages I added earlier in the request aren't actually in the
messenger yet and I have to do something else to retrieve them?
Thanks
