Answer 2

I came across the same problem. The latest version of SWFUpload does work, and it does so by transparently overlaying the swf on top of your 'select files' button.

This will work. The reason Flash 10 broke the old one, is because (for security reasons) it forces the end-user to initiate the process through a click, instead of allowing scripts to invoke this.

Instead of using all the swfupload javascript, we did actually end up rewriting that entire library (and cutting down the javascript code to about a 10th of the original).

I've used JUpload previously in some PHP projects of mine. Great for uploading multiple files on the fly, including chunk-splitting them to get past any upload_max_file restrictions. Also, its pretty customizable to make it work exactly how you want it to.
