Flash
Flash content can easily be included in your courses.
If you have the multimedia filter enabled then simply linking to the file in an HTML area such as a label, HTML block or section description will also display the Flash file inline. At the moment, however, all flash files will play at the same size site-wide. See the forum posts below for hacks to change this.
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
<object width="600" height="400" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"> <param name="movie" value="http://yoursite.org/file.php/2/movie.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed width="600" height="400" src="http://yoursite.org/file.php/2/movie.swf" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
