Having finally gotten a few hours to myself, I’ve updated the jquery-transmit file upload plugin to support Flash 10. Because of the security restrictions added in the most recent revision of the flash browser plugin, the calls to trigger the file selection dialog needed to occur in the SWF itself. To achieve this, the SWF is placed on a layer above the links triggering the dialog. You should be able to successfully edit the HTML to your liking without much consequence. Though, you should be careful not to rename any of the ids or classes. The plugin relies on them to place the SWF and resize it as necessary. As with the initial release, the plugin should be considered a work in progress and is not yet suitable for a production environment. Hopefully, this fact won’t deter you from giving the plugin a try. Source and downloads are available at googlecode. As always, constructive feedback is very much appreciated.

Carl, is there any demo or screenshots of jquery.transit in action ?
bump.. There are no demos or screenies on google code either. Please show use how it works.
Jimmy,
Unfortunately I am a bit overloaded with my day job at the moment. I am hoping that things will settle down soon so that I can put together a demo for you.
Stay tuned.
Carl, nice work on the uploader. I’m able to get it working, but with a single file being sent, I get this error back in the debug console:
“uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: "TypeError: Error #1009"].”
After some searching, I found this (which might be the fix):

But using Flash CS3 I don’t seem to be able to apply a fix to the .as and republish. Even attempting to republish without changes, the .swf no longer works. Are there any setup issues for my dev environment I need in place to be able to edit & republish the swf?
Thanks again…
