<div>Flash content can easily be included in your courses.<br />
<br />
==General instructions for insertion==<br />
If you have the [[Filters|filter]] for the Flash [[Multimedia plugins|multimedia plugin]] enabled then simply linking to the file in an [[HTML in Moodle|HTML]] area such as a [[Label|label]], [[HTML block]] or [[Course sections#Editing_sections|section description]] will also display the Flash file inline. At the moment all flash files will play at the same size site-wide by default. <br />
<br />
You can use HTML code and the object tag to set individual movie sizes which will work with most browsers except Microsoft's Internet Explorer.<br />
<br />
<object width="600" height="400" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"<br> codebase=<br> "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"><br> <param name="movie" value="http://yoursite.org/file.php/2/movie.swf" /><br> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed width="600" height="400" <br> src="http://yoursite.org/file.php/2/movie.swf" quality="high" <br> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" <br> pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object><br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If using the .swf filter you can control display size by adding the following parameters to the end of the link to specify size: ?d=widthxheight (for example ?d=600x400 where the image is 600 pixels wide 400 pixels high). You can use up to 3 characters for the width and the height, plus an optional % symbol at the end.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' There are also other ways to achieve sizing control. See the [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=29588 Size of embedded Flash] forum posts for some hacks.<br />
<br />
===Update 2008===<br />
The following code works in IE7 and Firefox 3:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<embed width="600" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" <br />
src="http://YOURSITE.com/path/to/your/swffile/swf" <br />
id="myFlashId" bgcolor="#ffffff" quality="high" wmode="opaque" /><br />
</pre><br />

==Insert captivate into Moodle==<br />
See [[Adobe captivate]] for exporting a SCROM file and bringing that into Moodle.<br />
<br />
==Insert flash into a lesson page==<br />
Inserting a Flash file into a [[Lesson Pages|lesson page]] (either a branch or question page) is similar to the above.<br />
#Publish the SWF and HTML upload the SWF to a central location on your server. <br />
#Then copy and paste the HTML code (between the object tags) and <br />
#place that in the HTML side of your question (switch to HTML view).<br />
# Change the value in your HTML code<br />
##Example: Change this <nowiki><param name="movie" value="MyFlashFile.swf"</nowiki> to this <nowiki><param name="movie" value="http://www.myserver.com/flash_files/MyFlashFile.swf"</nowiki><br />
# Repeat the same step, but change the src instead.<br />
##Example:<nowiki><embed src="http://www.myserver.com/flash_files/MyFlashFile.swf"</nowiki><br />
#Save the question<br />
