And if you put both together you get this tutorial:

[http://jimneath.org/2008/05/15/swfupload-paperclip-and-ruby-on-rails/](http://jimneath.org/2008/05/15/swfupload-paperclip-and-ruby-on-rails/)

I have used this with just one image per. model and multiple images  
for a model (has\_many) Works and looks great…

There’s also swfupload (google for the details), which has worked fine  
for me.
