Flash multiple file upload component - flash file uploader.

Attention for customers of MultiPowUpload version before 1.8

After version 10 Flash player due to security reasons doesn't allow to show file Browse() dialog from Java Script. So it is impossible to make 100% clear HTML + Java Script Interface.

Workaround: MultiPowUpload allows to show only Browse flash button. If user clicks on it he see file browse dialog. You can make custom HTML interface for files list, all other buttons etc.

Please download version 1.8 or latest 2.0 version and see new sample with Flash 10 workaround.

MultiPowUpload is easy client-side solution that can be used to perform file uploads from a user machine to the web server. MultiPowUpload is a Macromedia Flash movie supported by most browsers and needs just Flash player plug-in on users side and any standard file upload script on server side.

In a pure-HTML solution, client files can be uploaded to the server via a multipart/form-data form with one or more <INPUT TYPE=FILE> items on it. However, the form-based approach has the following limitation:

The "Choose File" dialog shown by a browser does not allow multiple selections.
To upload multiple files at once, the HTML form must contain multiple <INPUT TYPE=FILE> boxes, and each file must be selected individually.
An entire folder cannot be selected for uploading.
There is no way to specify file filters to be displayed in the Files of Type box of the "Choose File" dialog.
There is no way to put a limit on the type, size and number of files being uploaded before an upload begins.
File date information cannot be preserved.
There is no progress state information while upload.
