Here is the fix that worked for me.

I had the same problem, and I was able to fix it by reuploading:

/wp-includes/js/swfupload/

And then clearing my browser cache.

After should be:
$flash_action_url = get_option(’siteurl’) . “/wp-admin/async-upload.php”;

$flash = apply_filters(’flash_uploader’, true);
// If Mac and mod_security, no Flash.
if ( $flash && false !== strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), ‘mac’) && apache_mod_loaded(’mod_security’) )
$flash = false;

The above instructions do not work for me… the flash uploader still gets called.

I noticed, by debugging the code, that by the time the function that you edit in your instructions gets called, the browser is already displaying the ‘loading upload form’ bar (ie: the screen has turned black).

I’ve tried clearing the cache, and I’m using FF3.. any ideas on what could be going wrong?

It was much easier to revert to the previous version of wordpress, however, I have another problem.( I still cannot imbed video. . .) I design the photos to be a specific size on the blog page but have found that the uploader puts an ‘alt’ size into the html that takes precedence in the presentation, unifying all the photo sizes to a smaller format. When I finish writing, I have to go back through the code and remove all the ‘alt’s from the code so that all is seen as I planned when I publish.

Is it possible to totally remove the media buttons from the Write Post page? I don’t want users to use or even see these things. I also want to remove the text editor buttons too!

Have you tried to re-upload wordpress files? Probably some files have corrupted.

Thank you very much !
Now I can send files, but I still get the same error message I have with IE7.
However even with this error, the upload works.
