Universal and flash interfaces

Strating from 3.3 version MultiPowUpload is not just a Flash movie. Now it also includes "Universal" uploader interface. What is it? It is a java script library that combines all usefull upload methods in one place! It can make upload portion of your web application very easy. What upload methods are available today? All of them are combined into the universal upload and all can be used at the same time or only one (preferred). All of the methods have the same (unified) UI, that makes upload very easy for users. Users should not learn differences of Ui for each of upload methods.

• Standard upload using <input type="file" > . This method is suppoted by all browsers but allows to select only one at once and does not provide file size and detailed progress information about upload process.
  It guarantees that all users will be able to upload files.
  
• HTML 5 upload method based on new features of HTML 5 implemented in modern browsers. It allows to select miltiple files at once, provides detailed information about upload progress, and allows dropping files into browser from desktop.
• Flash based method. Most advanced uploader. It allows to select miltiple files at once, provides detailed information about upload progress. The method has a lot of features which can be coinfigured separately.
• Silverlight based method. It allows to select miltiple files at once, support resumable upload (chunked upload), provides detailed information about upload progress. The method has a lot of features which can be coinfigured separately.

Pure Flash uploader can be used separately from universal interface. It provides more functionalities and usability for users who have Flash Player installed.

Since universal and flash uploaders have their own configuration parameters, methods and events, the documentation is splitted into 2 sections:

1. Universal uploader section
2. Flash uploader section
