Flash 8 Image Uploader

Bugs

May 26, 2006 by ChihCheng Lee

the "Upload compelete" detect code have some bug.

The code is : if((lastFile==f.name)

but flash is upload the file "async", so, the upload list:

file1, file2, file3, file4

maybe upload with this order: file3 > file1 > file4 >file2

So, If we use this flash to upload file, maybe just upload 1 file

and got an "Upload Compelete" dialog, then keep upload other file..

Thanks

addFiles not as secure as it sounds

The tutorial says: "Notice that you can't select files of other types. Now, is this cool or what?! Try to pull this off in HTML without extensive parsing by the server-side script!" This is not completely accurate. Simply type a * into the File Name box in the browse dialogue and press enter. Now you can see...AND select any file. Keep this in mind when you write your server-side code. You still want to parse these files to at least check types.

Only works in IE?

This uploader works great, but only in IE. In both firefox and opera I get a message saying that the images uploaded successfully, but they didn't upload at all.

Has anyone else gotten this working in browsers other than IE?

teasso teasso, this uploader should work in any modern browser. Make sure you have the "write" permission for the directory you are uploading to.

Those folders definitely have write permissions set. I have other functions writing to those same folders and the flash uploader is working in IE.

Are you testing on a web server (local or remote, doesn't matter) or by simply running the Flash file from your local folder?
