Hi Mike, yes, the cffileUpload tag is deprecated along with Flash. Refer, for example, to

https://cfdocs.org/cffileupload

https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/deprecated-features.html

 

If you search on the web, you will easily find JQuery file-upload plugins you can use.

If you can, go back two years and replace all Flash Player stuff with HTML 5. If you can't, start now. There really is no other option here. Flash Player is simply no longer supported by modern browsers.

    Thank you Dave, I am new to ColdFusion ,, I am primarily a Java guy.
    my basic question is -  everywhere it's mentioned that Flash Player will stop working from Jan 2021 but no mention about FlashForms and Active Script . I a looking for the references on this .

    I am also thinking HYML5 is only the way for workaround solution . Thank you

    BKBK,

    Thank you for your response.  I had not looks at those pages to see that information.  What I did look at though was the https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-f/cffileupload.html page in the reference section.  The page has no mention of deprication or other status changes.  I have noticed that many of the pages listed in "depricated features" also mention deprication on the reference page as well.

     

    Can you arrange for the cffileupload page to updated to reflect the tags current status?

     

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I agree. It is unfortunate that the pages on Adobe that document tags fail to mention which tags are deprecated. The pages on CfDocs do so, in bright red letters. For example, https://cfdocs.org/cffileupload 

     

    You perhaps assume I am an Adobe employee; I am not. Like you, I am just a ColdFusion user.

    .  

     

    In any case, you have a good point. I would suggest you make the request to Adobe yourself, via https://tracker.adobe.com . Choose "Request Feature", and you should get a form. Fill in:

     

    Product : ColdFusion [CF]
    Component : Documentation : adobe.com
    Summary : Ensure that every web page that documents a tag or function contains a warning (in red, bold letters) when the tag or function is deprecated

    ...
