jQuery Uploader Flash player 10 fix

jQuery Uploader Flash player 10 fix


Guys;
A lot (8) people have allready asked me if i was going to fix the mess
Adobe made and my answer is yes, i am working on it. This post is to
assure you that the jQuery Flash based uploader i wrote in 2006 has
been revived.
The project will no longer be based on swfupload, since i added way to
much code of my own into it. The new version is (looseley) based upon
YUI uploader component, and off course i've taken a peek to see what
FancyUpload does in their code. To be honest; they are both very good
products and both have their pro's and con's. I am hoping to create a
project which will be the best of both worlds and more (currently,
approx. 80% code is my own work)
I've allready put about 10 hours of work in the new jQuery upload
plugin (which was originally hosted on http://uploader.webunity.nl/)
but unfortunately it is not finished yet. Since i based the startcode
(e.g. how to create an AS3 movieclip) on YUI, I must abide by their
license, which is BSD. The uploader plugin (Javascript) is going to be
included as full source, but the Actionscript file is going to be
precompiled. This is due to the fact that i simply put to much work in
it.
Some stuff that i added;
- A lot more and consistant event handlers
- A lot more and better logging
- Multiple simultanous (!!) uploads
And, ported from my old version:
- Queue managemen
- Max file size
- Max queue size
- Max queue count
The idea is to even make it possible to add files while you are
allready uploading; sort of background file transfer so to say.
Anyway; i'll hope to finish the Actionscript code tomorrow evening (it
is now 20:00 here) and the demo's the day after that. Basically; by
the end of the week you should have some working examples.
Thank you for al your wonderfull feedback
