trying to get a mental grip on how flashdata works.

with this controller (session loaded by autoload.php):

Code:
&lt;?php

class Flashtest extends CI_Controller {

    function __construct() {

        parent::__construct();

    }

    public function index() {

        $this->session->set_flashdata('message', 'session data set');

        $this->load->view('view_flashtest');

    }

}

and this view

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;title>flashtest&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head>

&lt;body&gt;

    <div>

    ============================<br/>

&lt;?php echo $this->session->flashdata('message'); ?&gt;<br/>

    ============================<br/>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I don't get the message displayed until I refresh the page.
Why? Shouldn't the flashdata display when the view loads (without a page refresh)?
