# uploadPane.addFiles Method HTML5/Flash Uploader JavaScript

Supported technologies:
 
Opens a standard **Open File** dialog so that the user could select files for upload.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.imageUploaderFlash('uploaderID').uploadPane().addFiles();
```

## Remarks
 
This dialog supports multiple selection and all restrictions configured in the uploader are supported. In other words, it works in the same way as if the user clicks the **Add Files** button.
 
Note, due to the restrictions of HTML5, it may open a dialog only from a button click handler. If you call this method from any other place in your JavaScript code, it will be ignored.
