New Control from Solmetra: Flash Uploader

July 15th, 2008 by qemm

We are proud to announce the release of our new product aimed at web developers — Flash Uploader.

It’s a highly customizable Flash-based control that replaces stagnant HTML’s <file> tag. It not only displays neat progress bar — a feature lacking in <file> tag — but also provides some pretty neat upload security features and client-side restrictions (i.e. file size and type) as well as JavaScript API.

Give it a try and let us know what you think. Oh, and it’s free!

    Flash provides multiple file upload capability. Do you plan on adding support for this?

    This Script i good, but it doesn’t override the max upload size in the php configuration, I thought it was a large file uploader.

    Flash uploader, unfortunately, does not seem to work for me at all. IE reports an error in the javascript file, on line 229, character 3894, which happens to be: n.innerHTML=

    The error is to the effect of “null object is null …”. In other words, the javascript code seems to be making reference to an attribute, innerHTML, on an object that is null.

    I debugged it a bit. It is triggered as soon as the the call to SWFObject.write() method is made. Is there something wrong? Or am I overlooking something?

    Thanks for any help.

    John,

    Flash does not provide means to upload files in chunks. And the uploads are handled by the same PHP so all the usual upload restrictions apply. Unfortunately there is no way to circumvent this limitation.

    ayaz, I’ve reposted your question to our forum since it’s a better way to handle support than blog comments. I would appreciate if we took the issue to this thread:

    Darren,

    answering the question about multiple files upload feature, no - not currently. Maybe we will do a separate version of Uploader sometime in the future.
