Nothing particularly special, I guess the parts to pay close attention to are the session hack initializer, the assets controller where we disable cookie-only sessions for the create action, the new asset view and the upload() method in uploader.js, which appends the session & CSRF authentication data to the URL we call to do our upload. Hopefully you'll be able to get it to work for you, let me know if you have any trouble. Hi Bill, good to hear people are finding it useful.

I like working with their tools. We're also using the YUI Rich Text Editor. Yes, the YUI documentation in general is excellent. I like working with their tools.

One small request to improve this: could you itemize anything special that you had to do to get this to work? I tinkered with the uploader a week ago and had troubles getting the session hack to work in my stuff -- looks like you've solved it here. But is there anything else we should be looking for that would help smooth a similar implementation? Bill Bless you for putting this together.

Hope the example helps! I much prefer the YUI Uploader to SWFUpload, it just feels more solid.

We are using YUI Flash uploader for Tumblon (http://tumblon.com) but I need to upgrade it to the new version so we don't get left behind when Flash 10 ships. I will take a look at your code.
