Supported technologies:
 
Adds an item to the upload list with the specified name and content.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.imageUploaderFlash('uploaderID').files().add(body, name);
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - body
     - Type: **String**
 A file body. It may be a base64-encoded string. Alternatively, you can pass a Blob object.
 - name
     - Type: **String**
 A string which will be sent to the server as a file name. It may contain a relative folder structure (like `folder1\folder2\file.jpg`).

## Remarks
 
You can use this method to add files generated in your JavaScript to the upload list. In particular, you may copy the upload list from Java uploader to HTML5 uploader instance.

It does not inserts files from the file system by the file name (it is impossible due to the security reasons). The **name** argument is used only to specify what name to send to the server.
