Gutting Messages File upload...

I'm here in the office on Good Friday when everybody else in the country is out enjoying the rare sunshine (we are based in Ireland after all). My mission is to gut the existing File Upload functionality in the messages section and replace it with the new new File Selector that I added to the tasks a few months back.

Why bother? Well at the moment there is a subtle bug in some browsers: when you switch from the file tab to any other tab, the Flash widget gets hidden, and then for some bizarre reason it reinitialises itself which means all the files you selected are gone... So you pick a load of files you want to upload and then go back to the "notify" tab and the files are lost. People end up posting messages without the files attached. Not ideal really.

It's been on the list for a while and I'm not leaving this office until it's sorted. Besides the new File Selector also allows a user to choose from the list of previously upload files and also change the files easily. 

It's also better to just have one bit of code doing the file selection on objects so that improvements to this will be reflected everywhere..

OK, enough ranting, turning up the music and getting stuck in...
