imageSource images don't refresh if binfile type?

[Jerry Daniels]

Thanks, Eric, for the suggestion.

I tried it and it does not solve the problem. I think i know why. The 
htmlText is not the problem, it's the reference to the imageData. Rev 
doesn't think there's any new data for the imageSource since it's the 
same file name. It just draws the same old image that is in memory. 
Doesn't get re-loaded from the file.
