setting myImage.src = preloadedImage.src reloads the image instead of using the cache. How do I work around this?

I am preloading an image, and then setting an image already on the page to a preloaded image by setting the .src equal to the preloaded image .src. This results in the image image being reloaded even though it should be cached. How can I get it to just swap in the cached image?
