flow.js upload file on click passing null

Trying to pass the file to controller public ActionResult Save(IEnumerable files) but I keep passing null.

$scope.flow = {}
    $scope.uploadme = function (e) {angular.forEach(e, function (flow) {
                        var fd = new FormData();
                        fd.append("file", flow);
                        $http.post("/Save", fd, {
                            withCredentials: true,
                            headers: { 'Content-Type': undefined },
                            transformRequest: angular.identity
                        })
                    });
                }

Well $flow is defined in scope as an empty object. Somewhere it should get loaded with an array of file objects, called files, which should be have fields name and msg.

The way it stands at the moment, when you press the button "Click me", the empty object is passed fo uploadme which will do absolutely nothing.

So, how do we select "files" and "msgs" to put them into an array?

(BTW why enumerate $flow (=e in uploadme), when you append $flow to fd???)

Good question answer. Not to sure. Maybe something like e.file.target. do you have example with my current code would help me understand.

I haven't the slightest idea of what you are trying to achieve. You might try starting from the top. If you are trying to pick things out of a list, you'll need to initailze the list first. And don't make the pick list the target list at the same time!
