Hello,

I’m making an uploader in flash that has 3 input fields with each FileReference, and one upload button to make them work. By now, I can upload the three files, but I want to put them in different folders with the php file. So, I need a way to get the input name in the flash source, and change the ‘Filedata’ (default), for that specific value.

\<?php  
//DATA:  
$filename = $\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘name’];   
$filetmpname = $\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘tmp\_name’];   
$fileType = $\_FILES[“Filedata”][“type”];  
$fileSizeMB = ($\_FILES[“Filedata”][“size”] / 1024 / 1000);  
//PLACE FILE:  
move\_uploaded\_file($\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘tmp\_name’], “…/images/”.$filename);  
?\>

I get this code in [http://www.developphp.com/](http://www.developphp.com/) .

The input text field in flash is called: fileDisplay (fileDisplay1, fileDisplay2, fileDisplay3).  
And the file reference is called: fileRef (fileRef1, fileRef2, fileRef3).

I tried to change ‘Filedata’ with (fileDisplay or fileRef).  
Also tried with \<?php $Name = $\_POST[‘Name’]; … $\_FILES[$Name]?\>  
and in the AS3: variables.Name = (fileDisplay or fileRef).

Nothing…

Thanks in advance for your help!
