Jungle. OLLIE requires Flash Player version 8 or higher. Tell me what version I have on my computer right now. To download the free Flash Player, get Flash Player here. Each OLLIE unit takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. OLLIE performs best on high-speed connections. If you are unable to view OLLIE in Flash format, try the text-only version of OLLIE. Most of the tutorial units are small "movies" that begin playing automatically in a new window. Use the control bar which appears at the bottom of the movie window to reset, pause/play, or move one frame at at time. Click and drag on the slider to more forward or backward quickly. A few of the tutorial units require you to click on a forward or back arrow to proceed.
