Question

This question is not a duplicate of this question.

I’m trying to get the file names from the upload queue before uploading, so I can show those names in a form.
Checking on the documentation they talk a lot on how to manage such information after uploading, but I can’t find how to do it before.

Already tried to get access to the input that it think the script uses, with $('#file_upload').val() but anyhow I got an empty value even after selecting some files.

How about the onSelect event?

$("#file_upload").uploadify({
    'swf'      : '/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
    'uploader' : '/uploadify/uploadify.php',
    'onSelect' : function(file) {
        alert('The file ' + file.name + ' was added to the queue.');
    }
});
