Hey,
When I call the function FileReferenceList.browse() of actionscript2.0 and select a large amount of files to upload,for example 2500 files,I get the message "Sorry,Select fewer files".
Could anyone here tell me if the flash player send this message and how can i avoid this message.
You can find the source in this websit
http://swfupload.mammon.se/.
A javascript/actionscript library to upload files.

Well my first guess would be to select fewer files. :) If there is a limit then it is most likely a limit.

However where are you getting the error? From the upload()? or from the browse()?

Browse says it is an array of FileReferences. Arrays in flash can certainly be larger than 2500 elements. So it would be odd if the FileReferenceList had a limit.

Are you sending the whole FileReferenceList to the upload() or are you sending them individually? What happens if you select fewer files, like 5 or 10?

Also there appears to be a limit of 100MB on the upload. I don't know if it is total or not.
