unfortunatly, this doesn't seem to work for me. could you post an example? here's what i'm using in my php:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "./photos/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
echo "";

and still the same problem: works fine on any browser on my PC. on my mac, it's uploading the file, but not triggering the onComplete statement.

thanks

i put a space in the echo statement, like this:

echo " ";

and it works now. excellent.
thanks for finding this and posting a solution. i've tried everything, from file permissions, to optimizing my AS... and the solution is as simple as this.

I implemented the "nothing" echo and all of our Mac people are still not getting that onComplete event to fire. I get some to work OK by adding a timeout in the onProgress event. In the onProgress event, when the bytes loaded equals the bytes total, I fire up a timer that "hand fires" the custom onComplete function. I set the onComplete event to fire that same function, as well. The code looks something like this:

var uploadCompleteTimer:Number = -1;

function uploadOnComplete( file:FileReference ):Void {

  clearInterval( uploadCompleteTimer );

  // DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO for onComplete...

}

listenerUpload.onProgress = function( file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number ):Void {

  if( bytesLoaded == bytesTotal )

    uploadCompleteTimer = setInterval( function () {

      uploadOnComplete( file );

}, 5000 );

}

listenerUpload.onComplete = uploadOnComplete;

That makes it work SOMETIMES. We're still getting hit and miss uploads on Macs. It is very definitely a Mac Flash player bug, IMHO. I've been able to get uploads to work more often in Firefox on a Mac, than on Safari.

The files are not even making it to the server, sometimes. Does anyone have a better workaround?

The echo(" ") worked for me too... pretty frustrating trying to figure this out though. I should resort to Googling quicker than I do ;)

In PHP, echo ""; still did not work for me, but echo "1"; did work.

Thank you for figuring this out!!

Hi,

Thanks, this solved problem - I tried with Flash 9 as well - it seems like it is still not fixed there!

An maybe something else: I have tested my flash on several server - on some the flash worked on mac on some not - with the workaround on all.

I had to use for php:
echo ("");
flush();

It isn't only a mac problem. I use windows XP with flash 8.
I can't get the onComplete to fire when I want to do the following. If i get an IOerror or so, i want to automattically retry the file.
So I do this:


luisteraar.onHTTPError = function(bestand:FileReference):Void {


bestand.upload("upload.php);


}

This will trigger the onProgress event and the PHP script moves the file to the correct place. But is doesn't fire a onComplete!! I tried the MAC workarounds but is doesn't work...

I had the same issue - FileReference upload onComplete wasn't being triggered with Flash 9 on a Mac.

For some reason the fix above didn't work - printing a string at the end of the upload.php script did tho...

echo "&error=0";

hello, i've tried everything mentioned and I still can't get file uploads to work, has anyone come across any other fixes?

thanks.

totally different bug...
Filereference on MAC gives me an I/O error if there are spaces in the file name.

Anyone else run into this one?

onComplete used to work on Mac without this hack in my old server.
dual xeon, rhel4, ensim 4.1

but stop on my new server, so I need to use this workaround..
dual woodcrest, rhel 4, ensim X

weird!

I had this same problem with Flash player 9 on a Mac while uploading over an SSL connection on a Drupal 5 powered site (PHP 5.2). I found that adding print ""; seemed to fire the onComplete event handler just fine.

You are a life saver. This bug has been bugging me for hours.

Thanks for sharing this problem.
Scratched my head for a couple of hours earlier this morning.

My script didn't go for the echo " "; But echo "1"; worked fine,

Thanks
It really worked for me.
All I did was to put in Java Servlet.
response.getWriter().println(" ");
response.getWriter().flush();

hats off to you all..

ooooo Thank you mann........

My Servlet was useless without these two golden lines....

response.getWriter().println(" ");
response.getWriter().flush();

It's been a while I know, but I just wanted to say thanks for this. Solved my problem, and saved me hours of stress.

Thanks so much.

YEEESSSSSS

thanks, man!

Me too!!!!!

the echo " " has done it
i'm running Leopard, in Safari it does not report the progress, but the onComplete is fired ok. On Firefox 3 beta 5 it is reporting the progress and firing the oncomplete...

Thanks, Abdul :) You just saved me a lot of head scratching.

The final solution is that the server script responds '&bError=0&'

in PHP could it be
die('&bError=0&');
echo '&bError=0&'; exit;

etc.
