Flash uploader in 5.0.b?

[softwareloop]

Is the flash uploader still available in Alfresco 5.0.b?
When I click on the upload button in the document library, the HTML5 uploader pops up instead of the flash uploader I get by default on all other versions (4.2.x and 5.0.a). I've tested on Chrome, Safari and Firefox - same results.

I checked the release notes, jira and this forum to see if it was one of the removed features but couldn't find any reference to it.
The component (tomcat/webapps/share/components/upload/flash-upload-min.js) is still there.

Hi,

Please refer following link. Here you will find some configuration.
I am not sure about whether it will work or not in alfreco 5.0.b. but check it. It may help you.

Thank you for the link but the configuration didn't work for me.

I had a look at the source code in webapps/share/components/upload/file-upload.js
In older versions the priority was: flash, html5, html
<javascript>
            // Create the appropriate uploader component
            var uploadType;
            if (this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer)
            {
               uploadType = this.options.flashUploader;
            }
            else if (this.browserSupportsHTML5)
            {
               uploadType = this.options.dndUploader;
            }
            else
            {
               uploadType = this.options.htmlUploader;
            }
</javascript>

While in 5.0.b it is: html5, flash, html:

<javascript>
            var uploadType;
            if (this.browserSupportsHTML5)
            {
               uploadType = this.options.dndUploader;
            }
            else if (this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer)
            {
               uploadType = this.options.flashUploader;
            }
            else
            {
               uploadType = this.options.htmlUploader;
            }
</javascript>

So the change is intentional, I just wasn't aware of it.
