I am sure it’s possible to be able to drag files onto a Flash movie inside a browser, but is it possible to achieve the same functionality with Javascript?

I have seen a site (can’t remember) that did this, but I never checked if it was a pure Javascript solution compared to a Flash solution.

I am leaning towards the not side, I believe that breaks the limitations of Javascript, although if there is any solution I would love to hear it. My only worry is it won’t be supported that well across different browsers.

    I don’t think it’s possible to drag a file into a page as such.

    Though some browsers may allow you to drag a file into a file upload input box. If this is the cease, perhaps you could stretch such an input via CSS and make it transparent/overlay on background to provide a ‘pretty’ drop target.
