Flash File Uploader – Ïñtèrñàtíðñàl Çhàråçtêrs

flashfileuploader

A [d]online reader pointed out my ethnocentricity recently, in that the Flash File Uploader, which I’ve offered for free for years, did not include any functionality for retaining accents for international characters.  This has been fixed and re-uploaded in a new .rar file of this project. For your convenience, the link is the same as the last one.

Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance and to [d]online commenter, Gerald, for pointing this to my attention.

The Flash File Uploader – Custom Directories .fla and .swf files have been modified to include “Microsoft Office Files (.xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .csv, .tab)” and this  option is in the index.php pipe-separated Flash variable with the identifier of “office”.

Cooliris 3DWall

Somehow I happened upon this weird, but fun gadget that “transforms your browser into a ligntning fast, cinematic way to discover the web”.

It’s a plug-in for Firefox and other browsers that turns web pages with media into a PaperVision3D-style gallery with functions for zoom, play (if movies), share and more. It’s also a thinly-veiled method for getting you to install a product-oriented shopping plug-in, but that’s besides the point. Frankly, I wouldn’t have any use for browsing the web in 3D and want my shopping experience to be unbiased, personally-driven and bells-and-whistles-free, but hell, it’s still fun to watch the video. Sorta reminds me of the Airtight TiltViewer.

Due to old code in the the index.php file, the details checkbox wasn’t displaying file information and thumbnails for file lists in custom directories. This has been fixed and re-uploaded in a new .rar file of this project. The link is the same as the last one.

Flash File Uploader v3.1 – File Name Rewrite

uploader.jpg

A number of posters on Donline have left comments requesting that the Flash File Uploader automatically replace file names with single and double quotes to alleviate the problems that derived from the uploader’s javascript functions (props, complete, etc.). The changes include file slash-stripping in the FLA (new function on lines 63-71 and calls on 93 and 114) and updates to the index.php and upload.php’s printing of file names, confirmation/error divs, and read-out of the GET string provided by the Flash.

As a result, some minor modifications to the Flash FLA, index.php and upload.php were made. I haven’t had time to thoroughly test this, but feel pretty good about it being solid. Regardless, I’m requiring all users of the scripts to still read and accept my disclaimer before proceeding.

Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance.
