uploadify 3 pass formdata issue

[thompom]

Hi - anyone useing uloadify v3?

am trying to pass values to my server script using the following, however fiddler tells me that the value of actionid is always 'notset' the alert shows 47185 how can i get the onstart to change formdata?

$('.file_upload').uploadify({
'formData' : {'actionid':'notset'},
'swf'      : 'uploadify3/uploadify.swf',
'uploader' : 'uploadify3/upload.asp',
'onUploadStart' : function(file) { 
   var x_key = $('#x_curractionid').val();
   $('.file_upload').uploadify('settings', 'formData', {'actionid' : x_key});
   alert(x_key);
}
});

actionid = 'not set' because actionid = 'not set' from the parent declaration. Use $(this) for child objects (I think)

$('.file_upload').uploadify({
'formData' : {'actionid':'notset'},
'swf'      : 'uploadify3/uploadify.swf',
'uploader' : 'uploadify3/upload.asp',
'onUploadStart' : function(file) { 
   var x_key = $('#x_curractionid').val();
   [red][b]$(this)[/b][/red].uploadify('settings', 'formData', {'actionid' : x_key});
   alert(x_key);
}
});

hi - thanks for reply - tried following but using this causes script to fail

	$('.file_upload').uploadify({
		'swf'      : 'uploadify3/uploadify.swf',
		'uploader' : 'uploadify3/upload.asp',
		'onUploadStart' : function(file) { 
			var x_key = $('#x_curractionid').val();
                   $(this).uploadify('settings', 'formData', {'actionid' : x_key});
			alert(x_key);
        }
	});

Hi - found issue - was because the settings line was using class instead of id
