Hey Guys,

I successfully implemented the flash upload to a website and all was working well, until I heard that when a Mac user tries to upload an image with spaces in the filename it returned an IO error.

I do not have a Mac to try this on but figured flash would work the same across the board.

Is this a know issue or is there a different way to write uploads for specifically for macs?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.
