    Flash not working on some computers, and no progress bar with IFrame

    Reply Quote
    I have one computer on which the Select Files button doesn't do anything when clicked.  By right clicking, I can tell that it is using Flash, and I made sure I have the newest version of Flash Player.  I don't have any other issues with Flash.  I have another computer on which the button does work, and it is using Silverlight.
     
    I also have a few clients for which it doesn't work, and I don't want to have to require them to install Silverlight.  Since I don't need the ability to upload multiple files, I would like to simply use the IFrame uploader, which works, but there is no progress bar visible.  Should there be?  Is there anything special I need to do on the page to get the progress bar to display?
     
    Thanks

    Hi tedwj71,
     
    1. Please test on demo page http://aspuploader.com/demo/form-multiplefiles.asp. Does it work for you with flash one? If yes, I suggest you download the latest version and try again.
     
    latest version download url: http://www.cutesoft.net/downloads/folders/57265/download.aspx
     
    2. The control has 4 upload modes. HTML5,Silverlight,Flash and IFrame. HTML5, Silverlight and flash support the progress bar. Iframe mode does not support it. If you using the newer browser, then it will use the HTML5 mode to replace the IFrame mode. So if you are using the newer browser and still has not the progress bar, please download the latest version to try again.
     
    Regards,

    The demo works fine, and I have confirmed that I have the latest version.  I've discovered that it works fine as long as the asp page is hosted on IIS6.  But on IIS7, the Flash object renders, but the button does not function.  I've confirmed that .swf is correctly registered under MIME types.
     
    The test page that I am using is very simple:
     

    <html>

     

    <head>

     

    <!-- #include file="../../aspuploader/include_aspuploader.asp" -->

     

    </head>

     

    <body style="background-color:#fff;">

     

    <form method="post">

    <%

     

    Dim uploader

     

    Set uploader=new AspUploader

    uploader.Name=

     

    "myuploader"

    uploader.Render()

    %>

     

    </form>

     

    </body>

    </html>

     

     

    html>

    Also, the computer on which the upload button doesn't work has Silverlight 5.1.  This machine it defaulting to Flash.  I have another machine with Silverlight 4.1, which defaults to Silverlight, and the button works fine.
     
    I don't know if it's a problem with Silverlight 5.1, but I can't tell my clients to downgrade their version of Silverlight.  So I'd like to get Flash or Silverlight 5.1 working.

    Hi tedwj71,
     
    We just update the asp uploader recently with the silverlight 5 problem. The new version should works with silverlight 5.1 too. Do you mind re-download it and try again?
     
    Latest version download url: http://www.cutesoft.net/downloads/folders/57265/download.aspx

    It didn't make a difference.. it would still try to load as Flash regardless of how I set UploadType.  I did discover that the flash object works the first time that it's downloaded from the server, but once it's cached on the local machine, it no longer works.
     
    It was bugging me that your demo works fine, so I viewed the source and discovered that this is REQUIRED:
     
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
     
    I added it to my project and now it's working fine.
     
    Thanks,
    Ted
