Description

SWFUpload is a disaster. MooTool's FancyUpload--along with their underlying Swiff library for communicating between Flash and JavaScript--seems to be a fair bit better. Switch to it.

    Converting from SWFUpload to FancyUpload might provide us with a more stable platform with a better code base, though still requiring Flash

    With HTML 5 upload now finally viable, I don't see any reason to switch to Fancy Upload.
