My client wants to be able to upload a series of flash files to display on their website.  The files consist of the main .swf file, an xml file and a series of iamages that the flash file displays.  Is it possible to automate the upload process when the user picks the .swf file ?

eg  if the client uploads  flash1.swf, can I automatically upload flash1.xml, flash1_1.jpg, flash1_2.jpg, flash1_3.jpg

all these files are needed in order to disply the flash images and I dont want the client to have to worry about uploading them as well.

Hello mww,

Unfortunately, RadUpload cannot select multiple files in one file select box. This is a limitation of the standard <input type=file> elements that RadUpload  uses for file selection. Currently, there are no plans for changing this restriction. However, your client can try to upload all the required files as a zip files and then automatically extract them on the server.

For reference you can check this code-library: How to upload multiple files using RadUpload (uploading .zip file and extract it on the server)

GMail has a nice feature which uses a flash object to perform this action. At first it seems to be only HTML, but a closer look shows it flash.

Hi Fred Balker,

Indeed, GMail is using Flash in order to upload files. We are preparing similar demo using Silverlight instead of Flash. I will post a link to it as soon as it's ready.
