YUI 2.8 Uploader
I know this is old but I finally tried upgrading my uploader implementation at http://tivac.com/upload/ to YUI 2.8. Ran into some nasty problems where the SWF would never fire its contentReady event.
Turns out, it’s a known issue with the Uploader component in YUI 2.8 and it’ll be fixed in the next patch release.
Important Issue: Due to a current bug, the current version of uploader.swf hosted on yui.yahooapis.com in the YUI 2.8 branch is NOT compatible with the uploader.js hosted on yui.yahooapis.com. Until the next bugfix release, you can work around this issue by either locally hosting the older version of uploader.swf (available here), or locally hosting the uploader.js and making the following changes to it:
- On line 509, in swfObj.addVariable(“elementID”, swfID);, replace “elementID” with “YUISwfId”.
- On line 512, in swfObj.addVariable(“eventHandler”, “YAHOO.widget.FlashAdapter.eventHandler”);, replace “eventHandler” with “YUIBridgeCallback”.
That only had me frustrated for 5 minutes, thank god I read the documentation.
