Detailed Description

This section documents the named helper variables that are defined in the file flixpub_constants.js, and used in the reference application to control how files are uploaded.

Special Note

Because of Javascript run time implementation differences between Internet Explorer and the Mozilla compatible browsers (Firefox, Netscape, Flock, etc), these "constants" are really var declarations made at global scope.

Instructions for Using The Named Variables

These variables are defined in flixpub_constants.js. You can find flixpub_constants.js in the SDK samples directory.
To use the variables, you must add the file to your site and include it in your page by using a script tag, like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="flixpub_constants.js"></script>

The script tag for flixpub_constants.js should come before other script tags that reference javascript files that use the publisher plug-in API.
