i have to do it without flash. what is ActiveX Object ? Can't I use that ? if yes How to use it?
no way to select multi files with just the normal open file dialog, you will need a flash object, silverlight, java applet or activeX, but i didn't try with activeX before.
I would suggest keeping a classic file-by-file upload next to the plug-in based one, just to cover exceptions. In today's modern world everything including smartphones have browsers, but not all of them feature an up-to-date Flash.
