        upload_complete_handler : uploadComplete,
        queue_complete_handler : queueComplete 
    });

Answer 1

in your method: fileDialogComplete(), ensure that you have the Javascript:

this.swfupload('startUpload');

This will tell your SWFU instance to start the uploads.

If you're using the example code (looks like you may be), be sure to also use/include the file 'handlers.js' (http://demo.swfupload.org/v220/simpledemo/js/handlers.js)

Good luck!
