I agree with Brian, for a slightly different reason :

Let's imagine this:

you have a Template1, that does this : <% flash.keys() %>, to be able
to know that they are errors. If that's the case, it doesn't display
the errors, but display a link, saying that they are erros. This link
does a new request against the server, serving Template2

Template2 does use flash.error, and effectively consumes the message

I've been using the FlashMessage plugin in a few apps now, and it works for me. The Flash message concept is implemented in every other language and framework in exactly the same manner, the problem seems to be implementation. If the plugin is dramatically altered, my apps will no longer function as designed :( which sucks.

Damien,

for your template problem, try ... <% flash( 'error', flash( 'error' ) ) %> because your requirements are not normal use-case scenario. FlashMessage should support array though.
