[Nepal] flash in moodle

[Ties Stuij]

Tony,
As I discussed in my previous mail, right now, you can't just link to
the activity swf. It needs the FrontIn swf to be embedded in. To make
a standalone swf for every activity, we would need to maintain a
seperate branch if you will. My question was if the overhead justifies
the benifits.
