    PENGUIRL  First of all, what is the difference between the Slim and Full installers Adobe? Languages? Second of all, when downloading from the Adobe website you have to choose between Safari (webkit) and Firefox (mozilla). What if I use both engines? Or Opera?

    Another lame effort by Adobe.

    TEXSPLEEN  Noticed a lot of dissatisfaction with Flash being 32 bit in the comments. My personal opinion is that Apple has some surprises up its sleeve with future Webkit releases. Got a feeling Flash wont be needed in Safari as video playback etc will be built into the browser? Browser plugins days are numbered.

    ILGAZ  The reality is, HTML5 Video died before it could took off because of zealotry and insisting of "non patented" formats by some camp. Nobody will switch to VP3 format, some decade old format from H264 or even MPEG4 SP especially while there are no "hardware chips" for it.

    So, Opera/Mozilla insists on VP3, Apple says "Use the damn Quicktime framework" (they are right), MS completely ignored it and Flash has 92% of global reach.

    Adobe is just lazy and also must do some insane amount of backwards compatibility work to ship 10.1 64bit with hardware h264 acceleration. Don't look for it, 10.1 is under NDA and only shared to some very big partners of Adobe.

    JSH  All of my web-based videos died as well; neither Safari nor Facebook would play any online videos. In 32 or 64 bit mode. So I removed Shockwave Player (thankfully they had an Uninstaller) and all is back to normal.

    I hardly ever use Shockwave content anyway.

    ILGAZ  While casual gaming and Mac market share is on amazing rise, they don't even bother to compile it 64bit or write 10 lines of text to release notes. I bet they didn't bother to submit new file, Mac update admins found it themselves.

    Basically shows what is wrong with Adobe, in all kinds of senses.

    MRGLSMRC  it is unfortunate that apple and adobe are having a tiff right now which is covered in ars technica.

    i sure would like a version of shockwave that can run in 64-bit mode in snow leopard.

    i also want a version of flash that runs in the iphone browser.

    let's hope these two giants can come to a corporate understanding because so many of us have large software investments in both companies and this erodes our confidence in both brands.

    if private industry can't get things right under capitalism, then it becomes pragmatic to avoid expensive proprietary software and search for open-source solutions for enterprise. these companies should know better than to gerry-rig their own products.

    ILGAZ  Well, I am not defending Adobe but iPhone/Flash thing is rather political/commercial issue. It has nothing to do with battery use or any similar thing, even including Adobe's mismanagement.

    Flash Lite 3 and recently, actual desktop Flash absolutely runs fine under Symbian, Android, Windows Mobile. While I am a Symbian user, I can't claim coding such thing for Symbian is easier than iPhone/iPod. Symbian coding is awfully hard since you have to support 100s of different devices even from different brands.

    So, simply Apple does not WANT Flash on iPhone. It is just like the Opera issue.

    MACZERO  Is it a joke? The 11.5.2 version requires the Safari runs in 32-bit mode? What's wrong with it, Snow Leopard is now running 64-bit native! I uninstalled immediately upon installation. crazy application. It just doesn't make sense.

    ORION MK. V  Truly lame thinking by Adobe, since 64-bit Safari is now the default installed in SL.

    TIM.DEHRING  I'm not surprised. This is the same company that can't produce a useable version of Flash for the Mac OS, let alone any other program that doesn't kill resources.

    JON555  This version doesn't work on Snow Leopard (10.6); instead you'll get the message "Incompatible OS version ! Adobe Shockwave Player is supported on MacOS 10.4/10.5".

    I know how slow and terrible of a developer you are Adobe, so I figured someone should tell you now so we can begin the long process of you rolling out a (probably semi-working) update.

    BOUSOZOKU  Adobe:

    You know what's been done prior to finishing the software. If you can't or won't post (a link to) release notes, then don't post the update.

    The last two updates, I've had to remove because they didn't work properly and hung the browser.

    DOC RAMAN  The following things were fixed in this most recent update (from the Direct-L mailing list).

    1. Bounding Sphere in Physics was not accurate when using a sphere proxy.

    2. (Bug Id: 2319573)Font Style not working properly

    3. GetPref() will also read Shockwave 10 preferences if the information is not available in Shockwave 11/11.5 preference.

    4. GetStreamStatus was not working properly when using GetNetByteArray().

    5. Multi-part encoding was not conforming to standard when using PostNetByteArray()

    6. Memory leak in Physics for 6DOF joints.
