[Drop.io API] Javascript Callback from Flash embed?

[tozaitodd]

Just curious if the Flash embeddable uploader (the one you get from
http://api.drop.io/drops/:drop_name/upload_code) calls any Javascript
functions when it's finished uploading any files.

My Flash-to-JS understanding is pretty rusty right now, but I seem to
remember SlideShowPro (slideshowpro.net) offering something similar
(not with uploads, but when it reaches the end of a gallery, for
example).

Thanks in advance,

Hi t, 

We are currently working on an overhaul of our embeddable uploader which will provide a lot more functionality, but in the meantime, I'm a big fan of the Uploadify free and open source uploader. It handles multiple files and plugs in very nicely with the drop.io API. (in fact, our updated uploader will be based on Uploadify!)

You can find Uploadify here:

http://www.uploadify.com

And I've put some example code here:

http://gist.github.com/405509

That example code will reload the page after the upload is complete, but you can trigger any javascript function you want with the onAllComplete action.

I'm happy to help if you have any trouble or questions implementing that, hopefully it does what you need!

Also, I'm very interested to hear what you're working on!

Thanks

-Eric

I think we do have some undocumented uploader Javascript Callbacks... one of our developers, Chris Ricca should be able to help you.

I'll get him to chime in...

Eric and Jake, thanks for the replies and example code. I've dabbled
with Uploadify, but not with integrating it with Drop.io. I'll give it
a shot.

As far as what my plans for it are, they are not very exciting, I'm
afraid. I'm building a site where people have a simple form to
complete (title, description, contact info), with a place to upload
images. This information and files would be used to build a static
webpage later. I'm considering using Drop.io as a datastore for the
form info as well as doing conversion/resizing on uploaded images.

When a person places an order on the site, a new drop gets created for
them, they go to the site I'm envisioning, "log in" (really just
authenticate to their drop), complete the form on the site, upload any
files, and save it. When they save, the form info is stored in JSON
format as a .js in the drop, which could be used later.

The embeddable uploader is great because it's so straightforward, but
it would be nice to have the callback so that the form could get
refreshed to show what's been uploaded.

Again, thanks for the replies and help.
