The new Flash 10 security restriction on file upload and lack of backward

nightmare and breaking working applications? Is there any quick fix for
this besides recoding old swfs?

HOLD THE PHONE. So are you saying FileReference upload no longer works in
AS2/AM1 published .swfs in Flash 10? If so, that IS VERY BAD and will

Itis an LMS - but it's still a content management system.
Either way, you just need to figure out how to communicate to Moodle
