Specifically, I'm looking for a client-side, JavaScript and / or Flash based multiple file uploader. The closest thing I've found is FancyUpload. Anyone have experience with it? If not, what else is out there?

Uploadify is a jQuery / Flash hybrid (if you don't feel like adding in YUI just to handle uploads).

@slotishtype So sorry. I'm sure if you could elaborate, other devs would appreciate it.
Yeah. It looks like Uploadify kinda sucks now (not sure what's happened in the last 2 years). I would recommend Plupload now (see the answer that lists it as a link)
Agree, it also has a bunch of issues when trying to use in IE9
I always get HTTP 302 error in OSX Safari/Firefox and randomly on windows FF. Not reliable at all. I'm looking for a replacement for uploadify.

SWFUpload is probably the leading "competitor" to that.

It looks like a new entry into this field is 'jQuery file upload':

Agile Uploader now supports multiple files as of version 2.0. http://www.shift8creative.com/projects/agile-uploader/index.html

Here's a direct link to a demo: http://www.shift8creative.com/agile-uploader/examples/all_files.php

It allows all types of files and can actually resize images before upload to help save on bandwidth costs and server processing power.

I've used FancyUpload plenty of times and it's absolutely fantastic. The only problem (but this is true for most flash uploaders, I guess) is session handling - if you're using sessions you're going to have to pass along the session ID to the flash file and back again.

digitarald (the author) has a new version of FancyUpload in beta now that works with Flash 10 (something a lot of the other uploaders don't). According to him it should be very simple to upgrade from FancyUpload2 to the new version, once it's released.

Dropzone worked for me for simple drag-and-drop functionality that degrades gracefully. Very easy to set up.
