Use Flash to create a custom upload button with SWFUpload beta Nov 17 2006

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.
