    Trouble uploading flash files

    I am using the default.config file, and have no trouble uploading image files or documents to the uploads folder, but when I try to upload a flash file (.swf) using the Insert Flash button, I see the "Uploading..." message briefly, then a blank screen (the "Insert Flash" page).  There should be no write issues since I am using the same folder for flash as for images and documents.  There certainly is not a size problem - short movie clip.  Insert Media button does the same thing:  brief "Uploading..." message, then blank...
     
    Another issue I am having is when I click on the Create New Directory, Copy the Selected Files/directories, and Move the selected files/directories buttons, they indent, but nothing happens.
     
    No doubt something I am setting incorrectly, but your help would be appreciated.
     
    P.S.  I have been able to upload SOME swf files but not others.  They are all within the specific size limitations (if they were not, I get an error message as I should).  Some swf files just cause this strange behavior, while others upload correcty.
     
    P.P.S.  OK, it appears that if the file size is > 4 MB (approx) it will not upload.  Even when I set max flash size to 50 mb:
     
    <security name="MaxFlashSize">50000</security>
    <security name="MaxFlashFolderSize">50000</security>
    <security name="FlashGalleryPath">~/uploads/Flash</security>

    This is an IE 7.0 issue. It has been fixed in version 6.0 as well.

    • When you try to upload a large file, you get HttpException: Maximum requested length exceeded
      Please check the following article:
       

      SYMPTOMS

      When you try to use the HtmlInputFile control to upload a large file, the file may not be uploaded.

      CAUSE

      This problem occurs because the default value for the maxRequestLength parameter in the <httpRuntime> section of the Machine.config file is 4096 (4 megabytes). As a result, files that are larger than this value are not uploaded by default.

      RESOLUTION

      To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

      In the Machine.config file, change the maxRequestLength attribute of the <httpRuntime> configuration section to a larger value. This change affects the whole computer.

      In the Web.config file, override the value of maxRequestLength for the application. For example, the following entry in Web.config allows files that are less than or equal to 8 megabytes (MB) to be uploaded:
      <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />
