Hello,
I think the trick to seeing the controls is embedding the .swf file into a html page. It works fine for me with all the files in a folder in Files on Moodle. I can show you an example on real course if it's helpful.
Cheers,
Glenys

Bonjour,
Je suis les forums sur Moodle en anglais mais j'ai l'impression que rien n'est au point sauf des solutions qui coutent très chers, Elluminate, par exemple.
Nos collègues du secondaire ont à leur disposition Centra. Également cher mais c'est le MEN qui paye.
Il y a aussi FlashMeeting à l'Open University qui est ouvert à tous. Si tu veux l'essayer, je veux bien essayer d'y organiser une session. Il y aura peut-être d'autres personnes qui voudraient jouer avec nous ?
Cheers,
Glenys

Moodle in English -> Wiki -> OU Wiki & Nwiki
by Glenys Hanson -
Hello again,
As I'm writing to this forum, I thought I'd add a few reflections concerning OU wiki and Nwiki:
The way the decision was taken as to which wiki should go into the core, didn't seem to me to sufficiently take into account the opinions and needs of ordinary teachers, like me, who are teaching non techie students.
I think most ordinary teachers don't read the Moodle forums and, even if they do, they rarely go and vote in the tracker. I didn't this spring because I didn't have access to Moodle 1.9 and so wasn't able to try out Nwiki and OU wiki. Though I now I have access to 1.9, I still haven't had the opportunity to test with students, but my gut feeling is that generally for students the right choice is "the simpler the better". In most situations, students on Moodle are just going to create a few collaborative documents; they're not going to try and rival Wikipedia. I've had enormous difficulty trying to explain to distance students why and how to use the current ewiki in spite of creating numerous tutorials (some with screenshots, others with Flash movies). They find it difficult enough understanding the difference between html pages and Word pages without adding in the complications of wiki syntax as well.
Yes, I know OU wiki can still be used but ordinary teachers are mainly unaware that it exists, and even if they are, can have a difficult time persuading their administrator to install it.
Even OU wiki is not that simple, and though I'm an enthusiast for collaborative tasks, until the technology gets easier to use I'm not going to try and persuade my colleagues (language teachers) to use wikis. But maybe some of the problems come from the html text editor - it's not really wysiwyg, is it?
Cheers,
Glenys

Hello,
I don't know if it's related, but I have had a problem with the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> not being interpreted in the text field by some versions of Moodle.
I reported it here: MDL-14874
It seems to have been resolved since updating to 1.9.2
