Shift8 Creative Graphic Design and Website Development

Agile Uploader is now available on Github! I've decided to release the source code for the project after a long while and careful thought. The reason? I simply can't continue to maintain it. The tool does exactly what I was after and quite well for my needs. While I still will use other upload tools, when it comes to needing to resize images that users upload (namely photographs, typically off SD cards), it does the job perfectly.

However, the tool was falling short of some (maybe 10%, or less, of the comments I received) user's needs. I briefly went over some of my research involved with building the tool before, but I don't really want to make anyone work hard to get from A to B. So I'm going to give everyone B and if you want to get to C...Then, by all means, go for it.

You can find the project here on Github. Please fork it and feel free to leave feedback. I can't promise that I'll be working on it much more, but I will fix any major bugs. I hope that people can add features that will help others out there.

A note for what you're looking at...You are looking at a FlashDevelop project. In the normal "bin" directory, where the SWF file is output to by default, I also included all the demos for the tool. Most importantly is the agile-uploader-3.0.js file. This is the jQuery plugin that I built and bundled with Agile Uploader. This directory structure leaves a bit to be desired I know, but it should give you everything you need. Please reference the jQuery plugin along with comments in the source code of the Main.as file. The tool really works by Flash's ExternalInteface communication of Flash <-> JavaScript. You don't need to use jQuery, but you'd need to write your own JavaScript to use Agile Uploader if you didn't...Or if you wanted to write your own custom jQuery too of course.

You can work on Agile Uploader with the Flex SDK and FlashDevelop. The tool is built completely upon open source code.

Enjoy!
