Shockwave player

[Barry Cisna]

Hello All,

This is very seldom used but of course I have a teacher that needs
Shockwave Player for some insignificant project for kids.
Looking at the particular website it is old as the hills, naturally.

In the server's web browser about:plugins shockwave shows,but when going
to Adobe's Shockwave test site the Shockwave player bombs / does not
work.

Oddly enough I can not find a work around for any variant of Linux

Thank You,
Barry

Yep. Shockwave player is just flat not going to work under anything but
Windows. It's highly tied to the graphics layer and is not going to work
otherwise.

forgot. The plugin you see is called Shockwave Flash. That is NOT
Shockwave.

around for that odd bit that won't work.???

Another question is what decrepit app is this person trying to use?
Shockwave was discontinued nearly 10 years ago. From a winders machines
look at the app and then go find something better/newer/supported that does
the same thing.

Jim,

Believe me, in a school environment you do not have any idea what
'women' teachers find that trips their trigger on using some sort of
graphics novelty things.

You are exactly right, though.I honestly hadn't even thought of
Shockwave for 5 years at least!,,,:)

After she finds this 'build your own landscape' website/app it will be
something else 8 weeks later. bottom line.

Take Care,
Barry

ask her how much the school should have to pay for her project, since
windows will be much more expensive
