Swf meets Ajax for beautiful uploads. The release of the long awaited MooTools upload widget “Fancy Upload“thats allows queued multiple-file upload including progress bars. Try it out, the unobtrusive file-input replacement.

Example in the Playground which shows the full features and is good documented! The source for the example upload PHP-backend is here. Of course the script does not depend on PHP as server language, it works with every script language that can handle file uploads!

Fully compatible with all A-Grade Browsers and Flash 8+ (Internet Explorer 6+, Opera 9, Firefox 1.5+ and Safari 2+)

Features

• Select and upload multiple files
• Filter files by type in the select dialog
• Optional Events to add your own behaviour
• Show and filter useful file information before the upload starts
• Limit uploads by file count and/or file size
• Platform and server independent, just needs Flash 8+ (> 95% penetration)
• Unobtrusive, since the element is replaced after the swf loaded successfully
• Cancel running uploads, add files during upload
• Everything is optional, documented and easy editable
