Help!

Hi, I just got started in coldfusion and have coldfusion builder 9. I am using FlashBuilder 4 also. I want to make a file upload and don't know how. I would like to use coldfusion to specify how big the file can be and how many can be in the file upload folder.

make a file upload

specify how big the file can be

and how many can be in the file upload folder.

I find it a challenging, and useful, exercise. Here is an example in Coldfusion 9. There are 2 CFM files, multiUpload.cfm and uploadFiles.cfm, within the same directory.

The maximum allowed file size for upload is 2 MB. The maximum number of files that can be uploaded each time is 10.

My upload directory is c:\uploads. It has a limit of 30 files. When the  limit is reached, the upload button will disappear.

multiUpload.cfm

<cfset MAXUPLOADDIRSIZE = 30>
<cfset isUploadButtonHidden = false>
<cfset maxNoOfFilesSelectedForUpload = 10>

<!--- list the upload dir --->
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="c:\uploads" name="uploadDir">

<cfset noOfFilesinUploadDir = uploadDir.recordcount>

<p>
<cfoutput>
The upload directory currently has #noOfFilesinUploadDir# files.<br>
The limit is #MAXUPLOADDIRSIZE#.<br>
</cfoutput>
</p>
<br>

<p>
To show the current status of the upload folder, you must <a href="javascript:location.reload(true);" title="Refresh page">refresh this page</a> after every upload.
</p>
<br>

<cfset uploadFolderAllowance = MAXUPLOADDIRSIZE - noOfFilesinUploadDir>
<cfif uploadFolderAllowance LTE 0>
    <cfset isUploadButtonHidden = true>
    <cfset maxNoOfFilesSelectedForUpload = 0>
<cfelseif uploadFolderAllowance LTE 10>
    <cfset maxNoOfFilesSelectedForUpload = uploadFolderAllowance>
</cfif>

<cffileupload 
    url="uploadFiles.cfm"
    maxuploadsize="2"
    hideUploadButton = "#isUploadButtonHidden#"
    progressbar="true"
    name="myupload"
    addButtonLabel = "Add File"
    clearButtonlabel = "Clear"
    uploadButtonlabel="Upload"
    width=600
    height=400
    title = "File Upload"  
    maxFileSelect="#maxNoOfFilesSelectedForUpload#" />

uploadFiles.cfm

<cffile 
    action = "uploadAll"
    destination = "c:\uploads"
    nameConflict = "overwrite">

In FlashBuilder, which ColdFusion file would I direct it to? Also what script do I use use in FlashBuilder and what ColdFusion code can I use to be able to delete files and show them in FlashBuilder?

Right now, I have a good hosting plan that supports php so in the mean time, till I get my hosting plan set-up for coldfusion I think i'll just use php.

Thanks Anyway
