For those asking about sites using Shockwave. Visit
explorelearning.com which also makes use of the extras included in the full version rather then the slim.

I have this installed just because some old games on popular games sites uses Shockwave, but i have never heard of a NEW game made in Shockwave. Maybe it's time they stop updating Shockwave, since all the Shockwave games will work anyway, since nobody has made a Shockwave game in 5 yrs or more.

I don't think they are updating functionality, just maintaining support, IE updating to support newer OS X versions, fix newly discovered security concerns, etc. They are maintenance revision updates, which are merited until the web truely is free of it.

I'm surprised Adobe keeps updating Shockwave at all. Pretty much dead now that Flash does so much and now with HTML 5 and more taking hold... it's deader than ever, isn't it?

This won't even install at all in Firefox anymore that I can tell.

I have not had Shockwave Player (and the internet plug-in) installed for over three years now and all that time I never encoutered any web content that needed it.

For those whom "can't find sites that use Shockwave" - try GOOGLE!

Can someone point to a site that uses this? I'm genuinely curious.

Finally 64-bit!! Now it works with Safari 5. Although, I haven't come across any sites recently that use Shockwave player.

For those who need a link for the 64 bit version:

And for some great 3D games ;-)

Greets & thanks for the tip that there was actual a 64 bit version available!

Wow, this version actually installs and runs as 64-bit on my machine with Safari 5.0.1.

You must be dreaming : the installer clearly states that in order to use Shockwave you need to launch Safari in 32 bits mode....

Davidpabian replied on 26 Aug 2010

You guys must've set Safari to 32-bit and forgot. Ain't no way dis goze in 64.

Mysticalos commented on 26 Aug 2010

no, there is a 64 bit version, default download is 32 bit version though. they didn't set it to 32 bit and forget, you just downloaded the wrong version. i think macupdate hotlinks the 32 bit download file directly for 32 bit use VT link it takes you to list and you select which version to download, 32 bit or 64 bit

Tijej commented on 26 Aug 2010

Thanks Mysticalos !
Can't Adobe just learn how to make a universal binary ? that embeds both the 32bits and 64bits versions ?
Their products are less and less exciting. Shame.

Davidpabian replied on 27 Aug 2010

Thanks for the correction. I dumped VersionTracker cuz it's gone so downhill since its sellout and they wanted fifty bucks for their unusable 'pro' version - but at least their Shockwave link takes you to Adobe. MU's generally more efficient this. thanx again

Jossdickie commented on 11 Jul 2010

In response to PENGUIRL First of all, what is the difference between the Slim and Full installers Adobe. I wondered the same thing and have managed to find a very comprehensive report on Adobe's website at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19523.html
But the above link is not, in their wisdom, listed on the corresponding download page.

Well, I've been waiting for this for a long time so I can play iSketch again. Alas, it looks like the new version doesn't interpret others' sketches properly. all lines are at a 45'' angle and make no sense. when I sketch it's all hunky-dory. Suspect it has something to do with the new APIs for 11 and the lack of inclusion of the APIs from 10.

Sigh.

PS: I have the full version, so I don't think that's the issue...

I'm also having problems with iSketch, and the symptoms you describe are spot on. At least my daughter can play games now on Noggin and other kids' sites.

Getting the same error, 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro. I'm looking forward to the next update for this product.

You can say that again! It's a NO GO on a PPC too.

Same xtra-error here, Mac Mini Intel OS X 10.5.2.

Works for some movies, not for others... --> but, IIRC, that was the default behaviour in the past (!)
