What is SWFUpload

A small javascript/flash library to get the best of both worlds - The 
great upload capabilitys of flash and the accessibility and ease of 
html/css

     * Upload multiple files at once by ctrl/shift-selecting in dialog
     * Javascript callbacks on all events
     * Get file information before upload starts
     * Style upload elements with XHTML and css
     * Display information while files are uploading using HTML
     * No page reloads necessary
     * Works on all platforms/browsers that has Flash support.
     * Degrades gracefully to normal HTML upload form if Flash or 
javascript is unavailable
     * Control filesize before upload starts
     * Only display chosen filetypes in dialog
     * Queue uploads, remove/add files before starting upload
