Shockwave 11 ActiveX crashes when referenced

Question

When you try to add an ActiveX control to the cast and select
the Shockwave ActiveX control (Two are listed both create the same
result) then Director terminates immidiately. This only occurs if
Shockwave 11 is installed. I've tested this on Director 11,
Director MX 2004, and Authorware 7.02. All of them crash when
trying to reference the Shockwave 11 ActiveX. Previous versions of
Shockwave do not exhibit this issue.
Can someone tell me as to how to resolve this issue? Or at
the very least confirm that it isn't just a fluke of my curent
machine?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Jey Joe,
as long as I remember that combo would crash.
Also with all previous shockwave versions I tested. I dont
remember
which versions those were, but my first attempt must have
been at
least 5 years ago.
The last time I tried was a few months ago, when I thought of
it as a
last attempt to try to make something work.
Its obviously something you should not do.
Can you not just link the movie instead?
Richard.
