SWFUpload patch for WordPress!
Wednesday 29 October 2008 - Filed under Flash
Here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/177127#post-886724 you will find a download called swfupload_patch.zip. Replace the files in your WP 2.6.3 installation with the files in this zip and the Flash uploader is remarkably restored to your WP installation. See below:
Admittedly, the button looks a bit wonky, but that’s more of a design issue than anything else. The button is a Flash button which calls the upload method directly in Flash, rather than an HTML button that calls JavaScript that calls Flash to start the upload. It’s not really rocket science. I’m not sure how they implemented the button skins, but I’m sure it could be made to load a few tiny pngs to use as skins, so you could customize it by changing the pngs. But honestly, I could care less what the button looks like in this case – it’s my WordPress admin panel. I’m the only one seeng it.
So yay! I’m going to go upload a whole bunch of random files just to celebrate!

You can change the look of the button, if you place an image.
here more info: http://demo.swfupload.org/Documentation/#settingsobject.
You can see, that in the example stays:
button_image_url : “http://www.swfupload.org/button_sprite.png”,
Later on stays
button_image_url
This required setting sets the ID of DOM element that will be replaced by the Flash Button. The Flash button can be styled using the CSS class ‘swfupload’.

Maybe interesting for you, a new beta version of the SWFUpload, with a new feature:
button_cursor setting for pointers and hands

Nice job looking into this! I actually reverted my Flash player back to 9 just so I can use SWFUpload within WordPress.
Sweeeet!

Installed your patch and put in a new upload.png with Word Press style. Looks and works great.
