SWFUpload.module javascript error : a solution

It is actually a bug in the SWFUpload module's swfupload.src.js. The error reported by firebug is:

SWFUpload is not defined
[Break on this error] ref.settings.button_window_mode = SWFUpload.WINDOW_MODE.TRANSPARENT;
swfuploa....src.js?I (line 70)

The ref.prepareSWFButton() function doesn't define SWFUpload variable anywhere, but it is used on line 70 and 71.

(This isn't a conflict with widgEditor module's JS, rather SWFUpload having precedence in {system} loads it's JS before widgEditor and as soon as the error occurs, the browser stops further JS processing.)

Marked the other issue as a duplicate.

FTF: Excuse my poor english

I have the same issue. The starting function isn't called by the window.onload event. So the swfu object isn't defined. My first idea was just to remove the event and the function : it works.

//window.onload = function() {

//};

But then i've got a jquery error :

uncaught exception: Could not find the placeholder element.
jquery.form.js?f()()jquery.form.js?f (ligne 13)
[Break on this error] eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){e=function(c)...|POST|toString|jQuery'.split('|'),0,{}))

Still working on it.

the 2nd attempt was succesfull : i've used the jquery window on load event : it works !

$(window).load(function() {
var settings = {
flash_url : " print $modulepath; /swfupload/swfupload.swf",
upload_url: " print $uploadpath; ", // Relative to the SWF file
post_params: {"PHPSESSID" : " print $sessionid; " , "nodetype" : " print $nodetype; ", "fieldname" : " print $fieldname; "},
file_post_name: "Filedata",
file_size_limit : " print $maxfilesize; ",
file_types : " print $fileextensions; ",
file_types_description : "Only images",
file_upload_limit : " print $uploadlimit; ",
file_queue_limit : "0",
custom_settings : {
progressTarget : "fsUploadProgress",
cancelButtonId : "btnCancel"
},
debug: false,

// Button settings
button_width: "36",
button_height: "37",
button_placeholder_id: "spanUploadButton",
button_image_url: " print $modulepath; /swfupload/select_images.png", // Relative to the Flash file
button_cursor: SWFUpload.CURSOR.HAND,

// The event handler functions are defined in handlers.js
file_queued_handler : fileQueued,
file_queue_error_handler : fileQueueError,
file_dialog_complete_handler : fileDialogComplete,
upload_start_handler : uploadStart,
upload_progress_handler : uploadProgress,
upload_error_handler : uploadError,
upload_success_handler : uploadSuccess,
upload_complete_handler : uploadComplete,
queue_complete_handler : queueComplete // Queue plugin event
};

swfu = new SWFUpload(settings);
});

Is this still relevant? Or, has it been fixed?

Probably fixed in v.6.x-2

I'm getting a similar issue with 6.x-2.0-beta7.

Issue: swfupload button is disabled.
Library: 2.2.0.1 (sites/all/libraries/swfupload/swfupload.{js,swf})

Steps to reproduce:
- Install drupal, filefield, jq and swfupload modules
- Set JQ's swfupload path to the location where .js and .swf are, it will show that it is okay (green check)
- Create a new content type, add field type file with swfupload widget (any settings)
- When creating new content for your content type you will see the widget disabled

There is a JS error saying:

Error: SWFUpload.WINDOW_MODE is undefined
Source File: http://yourdrupal/sites/all/modules/swfupload/js/swfupload_widget.js?K
Line: 67

For your reference, I'm on linux, firefox 3.6.8 and plugin: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53
Recommending major priority for the following reasons:
- this blocks functionality completely
- however this is still a beta, critical priority therefore is not justified.
