Shockwave player v12 on mac has stopped Director player from working. Why?

Question

Hello. I'm a very longstanding Adobe user, but a complete newcomer to the forum.
My problem? We have a suite of e-learning courses which are built in Flash, but which use a Director player (11.5) to launch them from CD-Rom. The new release of shockwave player (version 12) has stopped our courses working on a mac. We tried rebuilding the player file with Director 12, but this didn't resolve the problem. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi
We are in the same case. Since 1999, we have also built an e-learning suite on CD with Director 5 to 11.5 for Mac and Windows. And now, we have some problems with Shockwave 12 on OSx 10.7.
On Windows 8, there was already an error with shokwave: " L'ordinal 1265 est introuvable dans la bibliothèque de liaisons dynamique IML32.dll "
. It was enough to delete two files: « IML32.DLL » et « DIRAPI.DLL ». See on Adobe site :

Per haps, its the same case. We look for a solution...
