Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge Flash advocate. I don't like it for a lot of reasons:
- It's heavy
- It's not standard
- A lot of older browsers don't support it.
But guys, I think I fell in love:
SWFUpload is one of the nicer Flash applications out there and it's good because it has a few features that ordinary HTML uploads can't give you. A progress bar. That is one of the main features lacking with HTML uploads. You can also upload multiple files simultaneosly. And I must say, it's pretty.
So much for the user end. You'd think this thing takes a lot of back-end code. Nope.
HTML:
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
-
mmSWFUpload.init({
-
upload_backend : "../../upload.php",
-
target : "SWFUpload",
-
});
-
-
</script>
Yep, that's it. Have fun
