You may have noticed that the flash media uploader doesn’t work anymore. Don’t blame wordpress. The problem comes from the last Flash player update to version 10. This last version brings new security improvement that disallow interaction with flash movies from outside the movie.
This means few web apps that were using flash behind the scene, usually to extend javascript functionalities will have to rethink their interface a bit.
In our case with wordpress a quick fix could be to change the upload button by a flash button. Being itself in the movie, the flash button could trigger any flash event needed.
My fancy UTF-8 special char bookmarklet was using a flash movie to do the copy to clipboard in non IE browsers. Of course this doesn’t work anymore which means I will have to find a replacement for that…
