Ok, i know now how to setup the whole flash file uploading thing, but now im confused… heres my code…

```php

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function browseFile()
{
document.all['file1'].click();
}
function submitFile()
{
document.form1.upload.click();
}
</script>

<form name="form1" action="mp3upload.php" method="POST" enctype="application/x-url-encoded">
<input id="file1" type="file" size="19">    
<input name="upload" type="submit" size="19"> 
</form>

```

Then i just make the BROWSE button in flash GETURL(“JAVASCRIPT:BROWSEFILE();”); and the same for submit…

and everything works, except in my mp3upload.php script… i dont know what the variable for the file is because theres no NAME="" in the file input. only ID="". But if i add the name="" field then i get JS errors. hmm… any clues?

ok i have pinpointed the problem… its in my browse file javascript… because if i click the HTML browse button and choose a file, then click the flash upload button, it works, but not if it has anything to do with the flash browse button, so is there a method to browsing other than the one i use?
