Title
Flex Multiple File Upload Smart component

Content

One of the more difficult tasks with Flex is uploading files. With HTML you can upload multiple files with one HTTP request with almost no JavaScript code required. In stark contrast, file upload with Flex

• Can be done only one file at a time
• Requires writing Actionscript and use of FileReference class
• Does not have a reset capability like HTML

The solution to this problem is a Flex component that can upload multiple files with a single click (just like HTML) and expose capability to relate multiple files on the server with a common key. The Flex Multiple File Upload component provides this capability with great style, that includes a progress bar depicting the progress of your upload and error handling as well. The component approach uses events to notify listeners of upload completion or error. Try the live preview of Flex Multiple File Upload demo by clicking here!
