Scott, thanks for these ideas. They are all a bit more drastic than I
had hoped, but desperation being what it is, I tried them all...
- Did you try setting the imageSource to an alternate (bogus)
image/filename, and then setting back to the desired file?
This one worked! There is evidently a cache somewhere for these images
that are used as imagesource from a file location. This cleared the
cache!
- Maybe you could try a "go-between" image in the stack. Set the
filename
of the go-between, set the imageSource of the field item to the id of
the
internal go-between, then set the imageSource back to the external file
reference.
This one did NOT work, altho I tried it first for performance reasons.
- Heinous Workaround: use go-between images for *all* images used in
the
field, set filenames of go-betweens appropriately, set imageSource
references to Ids of go-between images. Requires a bit of overhead, I
know,
but if nothing else works...
I am not doing this very solution, but am integrating the global nature
of it. I'm setting the imageSource of all target chars to a bogus image
file name and then setting them back to the real ones.
Thanks!
Jerry

Works great. Works fast.
But wait...there's a dark side.
When the file that is being referenced by that imageSource call
changes
content (but not it's file name!), the image in my field will not
reflect that new image content on screen as it is in the file. It's as
if the image data is being cached somewhere and I can't force it to
refresh.
Three ideas:

image/filename, and then setting back to the desired file?
