Use Flash to create a custom upload button with SWFUpload beta

What is it?

  • Upload files via flash to get the flash-upload dialog goodness.
  • Only display chosen filetypes in dialog
  • Upload multiple files at once by ctrl/shift-selecting in dialog
  • Trigger javascript functions on start, cancel, progress and complete
  • Get file information/size before upload starts
  • Style upload buttons any way you want
  • Do progress-bars/information using valid XHTML and CSS
  • No page reloads, display uploaded files as they are finished
  • Works on all platforms/browsers that has Flash support.
  • Degrades gracefully to a normal html upload form if Flash or javascript isn’t available

Sounds pretty neat. MIT Open Source licensed too.

    Hi,
    I have a question about the SWFupload. Does SWFUpload supports HTTP Response?? I mean if I upload image using SWFUpload, can I get the server response back??
