FileReader looks great, but I can't get it working. I only go as far as:
["debugMode : ", true]
["SWF FileAPI ready!"]
My on("change") function never gets called. I'm missing something. Maybe I've added $("element").fileReader( options ) to the wrong DOM element? Don't know.
I think it would help me and other users to get it straight away if you provide a sample HTML file with the code. Thanks a lot!
Where is that swfobject.js file? I can see only jquery.FileReader.js and filereader.swf.
Obviously, it can't work without that file, because when I just include jquery.FileReader.js, copy that script below with changing fileToUpload with id of my input file tag id, I just get console.log. When I fire my script after that, nothing happens. Just in Chrome, Opera and Firefox. Can anyone help me how can I use this plugin with my project, which is written in RoR?
Hi, Here is my initialization code :
$(selector).fileReader({
id : flash_div_selector,
filereader : 'filereader.swf',
expressInstall: 'expressInstall.swf',
callback : function(){
//Doing stuff on change using evt.target.files
}
});
I am displaying the selected image for cropping. The issue is I am not able to upload the file to server because of the flash object. The value of the input box is null in IE 9.
Can I use a html buttons on click event to click on the SWF version of file upload. It looks ugly on IE. Let me know a way in which that can be done. Thanks.

Agreed. A working demo would be great.
I can get as far as
["SWF FileAPI ready!"]
[FileInput Event Click[object object]]
["Browsing..."]
however the file browser never displays.

Do you mean where to get it from? http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Ok, now I included swfobject.js too, but it's still not working. Is that everything I have to do for my code to start working?
