ie8 gives error "object does not support this method or property" on uploading a second image

Question

I'm trying to implement shift8creative's agile uploader. All works well in proper browsers, but ie is causing problems.

the line the js error is highlighting is here:

document.getElementById('agileUploaderSWF').sendForm();

Iv'e tried putting it in a onclick, a jquery click function. Same error.

NB, it compresses & uploads a first image fine, but then when a second image is selected and upload clicked, it fails.

sorry, by "ie" i mean ie8. we arn't supporting older browsers for the compressor up-loader widget. — Will, Dec 02 '10 at 05:36
Sorry again. On rereading that it makes no sense: clicking the upload button the second time round throws the error:object does not support this method or property and therefore the form is not submitted. — Will, Dec 02 '10 at 05:49

OK, fixed it.

Internet explorer was caching the swf data as detailed here:

So thanks to a tip from Richard Grove on the plugins comments, i fixed it with a bit of trickery:

flashSrc: '/js/uploader/agile-uploader.swf?' + Math.random(),

Which seems to have convinced ie to not cache it.
