Shockwave Player Backward Compatibility

Question

Overview: Our Web Application uses Shockwave player to play DCR movies. At the end of the Movie, an event is raised by DCR movie which will be captured by VB Script functions in webpage. This event will be used to identify if the Movie has completed. This is very crustal information for our Application.
We have been using this method to capture the Movie end events in our application for over a decade.
Issue:
In the latest version of Shockwave Player  V 12.0.7.148,  VBScript is not able to capture the DCR movie end event in Internet Explorer 9 and 10 Compatibility mode.
If we use Shockwave Player V12.0.4.144 , VB Script is able to capture the DCR movie end event in IE 9 and 10 Compatibility mode.
Details:
The following “Lingo Script” is placed at the end of the page (Director Movie), which will generate an external event and can be captured by JavaScript (for getting the page completion status).
on exitFrame me
externalevent("")
end
In our Web Application, the following “VB Script” is used to capture the external event passed in the Director Movie.
     <script language="vbscript">
          Sub LessonPage_externalEvent(str)
              Call UpdateReviewStatus()                 
          End Sub
  </script>

<object width="800" height="600" id="DcrObj" name="DcrObj" classid="clsid:233C1507-6A77-46A4-9443-F871F945D258" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=11,0,0,0" >
<param name="swStretchStyle" value="meet" />
<param value= "Path" name="src"/>
<param name="PlayerVersion" value="11">
<embed src="path" width="800" height="600"  type="application/x-director" PlayerVersion="11" swLiveconnect="True" swStretchStyle="meet" />
</object>
Above code was working with Shockwave Player V 12.0.5.146.We have been using above code for over a decade without any issue.
But same code is not working on Shockwave Player V12.0.7.148
We understand that above lingo script will not work on Chrome and Firefox.
All our tutorials are developed using Director 8.x

Answer 1

I don't know what is causing that problem; try if it is still happening with the current Shockwave Player version 12.0.9.149.
If yes, I would recommend to file a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
