SWFUpload

Mac Flash 10,0,12,36 PowerPC on Safari/Firefox.

I can't confirm this.

For me the 2.0.2 beta demos works in IE with Flash Player 9,0,124,0 (last flash 9 version) and Flash Player 10,0,12,36 (latest).

Are you sure that u don't have Flash Player 8???

How can I customize button text font-family, defining it in button_text_style has no any effects?

Running under Firefox 3 and OS X, I get the following message:

[Exception... "'Could not find the placeholder element.' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "" data: no]

Safari throws a generic "undefined" error.

Just to be clear, here are some screen shots on how my upload button looked before:

And now, with the new 2.2.0 version of SWF:

http://tek42.com/screens/Picture%202.png

The last two show not only the transparency issue, but also that the form background changes color based on the type of upload.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

P.S. - It seems that everything is working fine on the Mac side for me.

My ButtonPlaceHolder lives inside an Update Panel. The update panels postback triggers from the upload complete handler. When this happens my 'button' dissapears.

I tried moving the constructor into a seperate function that gets called from (document).ready and then gets called again after the postback occurs (hoping this would recreate the 'button') but unfortunately this caused an error: Can't find PlaceHolder.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi guys,

Ive been using swfupload for quite a time now. Actually I havent been going so deep into the whole project. I installed once ago it worked fine.

Now since flash10 it stopped working and I was watching how to resolve this. I downloaded this new beta version and it seems like the button works once again.

I installed the simpledemo from the package. The flash part works great once again, the upload seems to go smooth but in the upload.php is not set anything about the whole path to the maps where the file should go into.

Is it still the same script or has that been changed aswell?

<?php
// Work-around for setting up a session because Flash Player doesn't send the cookies
if (isset($_POST["PHPSESSID"])) {
session_id($_POST["PHPSESSID"]);

session_start();

//upload file
$manuscript = date('d.m.y.H:i:s').$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

//uploading the file in my map, make sure this map is accessable!
$path = "upload/";
$full_path = $path.$manuscript;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $full_path )) {
// Upload is goed gegaan
$_SESSION['manuscriptnaam'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$_SESSION['manuscript'] = $manuscript;
$_SESSION['step4'] = TRUE;
echo 'Done';
}
else {
// Upload is misgegaan
echo 'Error';
}

}
else {
// echo niks
}

?>

It doesnt work with this... upload is stuck @ 100%.. im sure maps are set right and its properties are 777.

Anyone?

*EDIT*

Now its not stuck @ 100%. But still nothing in my upload/ map...

Hi all,

Great effort in getting it past the flash 10 issue..

Just one thing if I may put a request:

Because it is now a flash button, I think that should be reflected in the mouse cursor and show a pointer (useHandCursor) when over the button, it's sort of the abc of standard UIs.

Can that be added as a parameter?

If it's already there, I haven't figured it out. Where's the option?

Cheers
Ben

Gyphie, sorry, I have found the mistake, inserting ';' after font-family: Tahoma fix this problem. All works ok, thanks for your great work!

My problem is solved, it was the uploadpath it said: getcwd()

I removed that and it worked thnx guys

I've updated my flash player from 9 to 10 and after this SWFU does not work at all. I downloaded v.2.20 and tried to look to its samples, BUT they dont work too (there is no button "select files")
According to http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 my flash player version is 'WIN 10,0,12,36'.

I tried to test it in Firefox and IE. Result is the same.

Help me plzz....

i've found the problem:
button_image_url : "../applicationdemo/images/XPButtonNoText_160x22.png",

when i commented this everything becomes work fine.

Now i have another question, how can i add/remove post params when user clicks the button "select files"?

Before 2.2.0 release i used to put "swfu.addPostparam" in the 'onclick' event of "select files" button. But now i think must exist another way to do this..?

thx

I'm having trouble cancelling previous uploads on the new version with cancelUpload. Not sure if this is a bug, or if there's something else I'm doing wrong.

Here's what I'm doing, which worked in the previous version:

var stats = swfu.getStats();
swfu.cancelUpload(0);
alert(stats.files_queued);
while(stats.files_queued>0){
swfu.cancelUpload(0); //not sure if by index works here
}

I also unsuccessfully tried this:

var stats = swfu.getStats();
while(stats.files_queued>0){
fileID=swfu.getFile(0).id;
swfu.cancelUpload(fileID);
}

Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

The file index used by SWFUpload is a global index (not a queue index). This makes all files (uploaded, canceled, queued, errored) accessible at any time by their index.

The file ID is used to get files that are in the queue.

Now that I explain that is sounds stupid but that is how it grew up and we can't change it now (without breaking things (at least until version 3)).

So, the trick is (and you can see this in the queue plugin) is to simply call cancelUpload() with no parameters. This cancels the currently uploading file or, if there is no upload, the first file in the queue.

var stats = this.getStats();
while (stats.files_queued > 0) {
this.cancelUpload();
stats = this.getStats();
}

Also, your loop logic is broken. You have to call getStats every time you loop. The stats variable doesn't automatically get updated when you perform a file operation. You have to call getStats() again to get the updated numbers.

Hey Gyphie, Thanks for the super quick response! Unfortunately the code you posted still isn't working (it's the same as what I had for the last version of swfupload, which was working at the time). It now triggers the upload error handler, and then when I do the upload, the first item that I added to the queue still gets transferred. Here's the code that I currently have:

cancelQueue:function(){
swfu.customSettings.queue_cancelled_flag = true;
swfu.stopUpload();
var stats = swfu.getStats();
while(stats.files_queued>0){
swfu.cancelUpload();
stats = swfu.getStats();
}
},

so is this a bug then?

( Thanks again for the help )
