The .as looks good but the .fla is corrupt or something. You might want to provide a new archive.

Hey sorry guys I had the fla set to build to an absolute path instead of relative so you might have gotten a “Failed to build swf error”. Should be fixed now.

Thanks for that. Should be useful. For some reason this seems to cause problems for a lot of people, including myself.

Just thought I’d mention, for anyone who is confused, to make this code work you have to edit the phpUploadScript value in the FileUploader.as class file, and also set the upload folder in line 8 of the fla:

var up:FileUploader = new FileUploader(“dynamicDir”);

(ie dynamicDir needs to be “uploads” for example.)

Thanks again.

Hi. i’m using this. it’s very pretty nd all. looks like everythings perfect but the actual upload is not working. i don’t know why. i checked the url, the upload dir, the folders permissions.

The tracings confirming the upload. but no actual file is being uploaded.

any ideas?

ok… i did another test. when i didn’t put any directory in line 8 of the file.
var up:FileUploader = new FileUploader();

it doesn’t work. but as soon as i put “uploads” in there it works fine.

Thanks for a great component.

thanks a lot for a great component indeed. this will be really useful to me as a learning exercise.

So how do you get this to work using two buttons? One for Browse, and the other for Upload?

@mike:

To get it to work using 2 seperate buttons you will just need to create a “Browse” button and use the FileUploader.browse() to handle the MOUSE_UP event.

Then just comment out line 37 in FileUploader.as and make the selectFile(e:Event) function public scope. Have your “Upload” button use that function as a handler. That should give you the desired effect.

Right selecting a file automatically triggers the upload… so the key is really just removing the this._fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, this.selectFile); line [37] of code and having your “Upload” button use the selectFile function as a handler instead.

Hope that helps!

Can someone help me. When I upload with a html form it works. Using this flash example I get an error:

Error #2038

Found solution @ flashkite

just write this two lines in the .htaccess file at the root folder

SECFILTERENGINE OFF
SECFILTERSCANPOST OFF

i want to be able to ‘browse’ again if the user clicks ‘close’ to cancel the file dialog. is this possible?

Thanks for this! My files are uploading perfectly but I want to display the uploaded image on the screen.

does anyone know how I could do this? Is the file name held anywhere so I can access it?

thanks

Using your example, I got the error: “the variable ComponentShim is not defined”`
Do you have any idea where this error comes from?
