A quick example/tutorial on how to create a multiple file uploader in Adobe's Flex/Apollo, which goes hand in hand with Merb, the Rails-alternative.\r\n\r\n\"I've built 'multiple' file uploaders for Rails sites but they always involved some slight of hand, the files appeared to be uploading all at once but they where actually queued up by Flex then handled one by one by the app (which also had the unhappy side effect of blocking any other requests to that process). I've been wanting to try out Adobe AIR's file system drag and drop for a while so this is a two-fer example. You'll need the beta version of Flex Builder 3 or the Flex 3 SDK beta if you don't mind getting down with the command line. \r\n\r\nIn a hurry? Here's one I made earlier (flex source in 'dist/app/fx').\"\r\n--Alastair
