I think the problem is not in the Flash side because it *does* degrade
nicely when Flash or Javascript are not enabled. I think the problem
is on the receiving side, because what you're getting is a PHP error
and not a Flash or Javascript error. The PHP script that receives the
uploads probably has somethong wrong with it, but I will know more
when I download and play with this.

Regarding the screen space, as far as I know everything is
customizable via CSS so that should not be a problem.
