I spent ages trying to make this work. You have to use the old version od swfupload with the drupal module. This is hidden on the module's webpages behind warning messages that seem to tell you it isn't stored there any more, but it is:
http://swfupload.org/sites/swfupload.org/files/SWFUpload-src.zip

Copy the 2 files into swfupload\swfupload

Then their seems to be a problem with the case of the filenames. There may be a better way but I changed the names of the swfupload.js and swfupload.swf files into all lowercase. Then I did a search and replace to replace SWFU with swfu throughout swfupload.module and swfupload.js .. and then it finally worked.

Another even easier way I got it to work was by replacing the line (row: 11)
(!file_exists($path .'/sfwupload.swf') || !file_exists($path .'/swfupload.js')) {

With if (!file_exists($path .'/SWFUpload.swf') || !file_exists($path .'/SWFUpload.js')) {

It still didn't work for me.
The swf upload control shows up and everything, but it doesn't actually upload it to the folder.

Anyway, the upload now uses ajax which is just about as good. You need the jstools module I think.

Can you expand on this? I looked at the JavaScript Tools project page and nowhere on it is this functionality advertised - thanks!

Just can't wake up this module!

Tried this:

Copy the 2 files into swfupload\swfupload

Then their seems to be a problem with the case of the filenames. There may be a better way but I changed the names of the swfupload.js and swfupload.swf files into all lowercase. Then I did a search and replace to replace SWFU with swfu throughout swfupload.module and swfupload.js .. and then it finally worked.

And this:

replacing the line (row: 11)
(!file_exists($path .'/sfwupload.swf') || !file_exists($path .'/swfupload.js')) {

With if (!file_exists($path .'/SWFUpload.swf') || !file_exists($path .'/SWFUpload.js')) {

And tried to place newer version of SWFUpload.

The maximum I had reached was a link “Browse”, which is appearing when you scroll down a page (!), but when I click on it nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

edit - Update

I tried to install this package: http://drupal.org/node/271293#comment-1059589
It seems to work with Flash versions 8 or 9, but not 10 (current)...

Thanks - I think I got it to work, but this is how I did it:

I went to the swfupload home page and downloaded this file:

http://code.google.com/p/swfupload/

I unzipped it, and looked around in the various sub folders to find the files that my drupal site said was missing. I moved them into my site's modules/image_fupload/swfupload directory, ran cron, and it "says" that everything is working.

Will be back if this isn't the case.
