Shockwave player support - website analytics

Hi
Not quite a Director question but an website analytics one. How I can identify the Shockwave player support for my visitors, something similar to Flash and Java support in Google analytics?

Boxerface: YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK
YOU!!!
I can't begin to tell you how many uninstalls, installs,
reboots, re-do's on FF, IE.....anything & anywhere..... that
I've done to resolve this problem of the Shockwave.com Black Screen
of Nothing. I've posted in multiple tech forums & asked
multiple tech gurus who haven't come up with any solution. Until
now. I did suspect the HOSTS file but didn't know where to edit.
Now, I have to admit I don't have an "ad.doubleclick.net # This may
interfere with www.sears.com". Actually, I had about 38 lines with
"ad.doubleclick.net" or ".com" with other characters before &
aft. See sample below. I picked 2 of them to add the "#" to, but I
suspect the 2nd entry is the culprit.
>>>#127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net
#[McAfee.Cookie-Doubleclick]
#127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net #[MVPS.Criteria]
127.0.0.1 ad2.doubleclick.net

Check to Adobe site for an update.

Unable to Install Macromedia Shockwaver Player

I have installed Macromedia Shockwaver Player before without
any problems. However, when I tried to install it on my laptop
computer with Windows 2000 Professional, it got an error while it
was installing. The error states "Could not load the DLL library
C:\WINNT\system32\Kernel32.dll (GetSystemWow64DirectoryA). The
specified procedure could not be found." Now, I have just installed
Shockwave the day before on this very same computer with everything
the same on it. I had to reformat my hardrive and reinstall
Windows, but again, I did the reformat and reinstall couple times
before and installed Shockwave Player without having run into this
problem. I'd like anyone to suggest what the problem might be and
help me resolve it.

Well, Adobe obviously has done all their versions of
Shockwave Player to not support Win2k any more, because it was just
last week I was able to visit sites that requires Shockwave Player
without getting the DDL error. Now, I'm not able to either install
or visit sites that requires Shockwave. The following is what I
requested of Adobe and got from them and then requested again:

I find the response from Samuel really useless. To start
with, I am pretty sure that this problem is due to Adobe's fault,
for I hav
e successfully able to install and use Adobe Shockwave just a
week ago. Now this new problem started occuring late last week, and
I
have posted my problem on Adobe's Shockwave forum. One can
visit it at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?
forumid=44&catid=185&threadid=1328948&enterthread=y
. As someone who reads, it was just not me who was having the
problem, and I was
able to make the conclusion that Adobe has suddenly stopped
support for any Windows OS prior to XP. However, that forum is only
vis
isted by web users who are not really able to solve specific
problem except maybe at giving some pointers. Now Mr. Samuel V. has
als
o given me links to Shockwave FAQ and Shockwave Player
Support Site. I want to now emphasize that I have visited both
those sites an
d read thoroughly the contents there, but was unable to solve
my current problem, and that was why I made a contact Customber
Servic
e. As for Samuel's help, I kindly appreciate. However, I am
displeased at this response since it does get me anywhere near my
soluti
on. I hope he or someone would kindly contact Adobe for
someone who can help in getting this solved. Since he has given me
an ID num
ber, Adobe staffs can easily view my original issue,
furthermore, I hereby have given the link to the Shockwave forum
page where I p
osted my original problem and where others are having the
same issue. For now, I wait for a satisfactory reply from anyone
who is wi
lling to help.
Sincerely,

Why does the shockwave player keep crashing when I play farmville 2 on both the facebook and zynga websites?

I play farmville 2 on both the zynga and facebook websites. My shockwave player keeps crashing and is a very slow to load the game. This happens on all of the browsers I have used. Google chrome works better than some, firefox, icedragon and IE all are very slow to load the game and this take a lot of enjoyment out of the actual game play. Please help figure this out. I even keep clearing the cache and history, this does not help out much either.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

I am having trouble opening up website games. I have already updated Adobe Flashplayer and Adobe Shockwave player. Still won't work.

I am attempting to play games at Shockwave.com and they won't open. I have updated Adobe Flashplayer and Shockwave player, but they still won't work. What else do I need to do to get them to work?

Hi, If your Anti-Virus has found malware, then what are their instructions on removing it? Also what are the names of the Malware and the location that it was found? Look in the log that your Anti-Virus should have to find this info.
Malware can effect not only Flash Player, but depending on what type it is other programs on your computer/system.
Is your system a 64bit? I understand you are using the 32bit browser. If you didn't find anything in the system32 location then you would have the Flash files in the SysWOW64 location.
If you don't have the Shockwave Flash Object in the manage addons, that is why Flash Player is not working.
Thanks,

Flash player and shockwave player "not installed"

I recently downloaded the most current shockwave player and
flash player, but when I go to a website that requires the program
it tells me that I need to install the shockwave player/flash
player. I download each again and have even shut down and rebooted
to see if that helps but it doesn't, it keeps telling me that the
shockwave player/flash player is not installed and that I need to
install it again. Can anyone help me find out if there are any
settings that might need to be changed on my computer to let them
run? Customer support was no help what so ever and just told me to
reinstall.
Operating System: Windows XP
Browser: Microsoft IE version 7
Thank you very much

I am having the exact same problem. All are Windows XP SP2
machines. Funny thing is, it seems only to be occurring on a
certain 'block' of newer computers. anything more than about 8-10
months old, and the app runs fine. Brand new machines <1 month
old are fine. I have a number of machines in that 1-8 month-old
range that are exhibiting the problem. I found this
here
but it does not seem to work. Anyone else with this issue?

Shockwave Player File Ver. (SW851_Installer_Full.exe.)

I have windows 98se operating system with IE 6.0. My
shochwave player that i had said that it needed to be update so i
let it update, it the ntells me that my operating system is not
supported by shockwave player 11. and to go to adobe .com to
download a player that was supported. it was id=tn18629 which took
me to player ,File Ver. SW851_installer_Full.exe. I downloaded the
file. I then uninstalled all the previous players restarted mt
system then in stalled the file. but it did not work adn I"v done
everthing that your trooble shot page says but it still does not
work. I'v paused virious programs, popupblockers, securities and
I'v checked IE securities active x to make sure that there would be
no problems. Can anyone please help me.

1. Were you able to solve this problem?
2. Did you find a suitable download?
I followed what I believed to be the proper path on the Adobe website to download a version for a Windows 98SE system but the page I reached apparently was not appropriate because the installer failed indicating a programming error.

Is Flash Player Supported in Windows 7?

Is the most recent version of Flash Player supported in Windows 7?

An FYI for anyone thinking of installing the Flash player on Windows 7:
Installing the Firefox version of Flash was easy. Installing the Internet Explorer version was more difficult. The Adobe website crashes Internet Explorer 8.
The only way to install the Flash player (and the Shockwave player) on Internet Explorer 8 is to set Internet Explorer to Compatibility mode.
Note: I am using the Release Candidate (build 7100) of Windows 7. The problem I described may be fixed by the time Windows 7 is released to general availability.

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Old movie will not play in new shockwave player

Hi, I have searched the forums, Adobe support and web in
general for help on this, but to my surprise have not found
anything. I created some Shockwave movies perhaps 5 years ago for
science education and have not used Director since then. I just
received a report that the movies are broken and will not play.
This is happening on WinXP in IE and in Firefox with the latest
Shockwave player installed, but the movies work fine on OSX 10.4.8
in Safari and Firefox, also with the latest Shockwave player
installed. I am not a Director developer anymore and do not own a
current version of the program, I am primarily a scientist and
educator. I'm hoping the problem is in the code that embeds the
movie, and that the movies are still compatible with the new
Shockwave player on Windows. Can anyone help out, please? One of
the movies can be found at

Shockwave player compatible with OSX 10.10.2?

Since updating to Yosemite, I am having probs with shockwave player. When on certain sites, i get the error "plugin failed." I have reinstalled adobe reader to the latest version, and when checking shockwave it says i have most current version. I have not found a place where i can uninstall shockwave, then reinstall. i also cant find it in my apps folder (shouldnt it be separate from Adobe Reader?) I have checked and it does this failure on the latest versions of Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I have also run disk utility and repairs.
If shockwave player is not compatible with Yosemite, could u let me know? I have spent HOURS on this prob, with no solution. Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds like you have an older AirPort Express.
Check the Model No on the side of the device. If you see A1084 or A1088 there, Mountain Lion 10.8.2 will not support these devices.
You might be able to use a workaround mentioned in this article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
This is not supported by Apple, but it does work for me. Unfortunately, there is no way to say whether it might work for you if you want to try it.
Other users may post with some other workarounds as well.

How can I get rid of Shockwave Player Error message? I'm not trying to play anything, but it pops up whenever I reset my Safari.

I keep getting a message on my Mac saying:
Shockwave Player Error
To view the movie, open your browser in the 32-bit mode.
1) In Safari, select applications/safari in the Finder and click more info
2) Ensure that Open in 32-bit mode is selected
3) Re-launch the browser.
I did this, and selected the open in 32-bit mode but it's still giving me this message.
Interestingly, it does this every time I reset my Safari (which I do upon closing Safari), UNLESS I unclick the "Remove all website data" item box - then I don't get this weird shockwave player error message.
I would like to know either how to get rid of the error message (stop it from popping up) or how to download/install shockwave in case I need it.

I am having this issue whenever I go to Safari privacy preferences tab it pops up this same error window repeatedly, over and over, even if I don't acknowledge the first one... it just keeps adding the error window one on top of the other. (a little offset like opening multiple browser windows).
If I switch to a different application it may even keep popping them up keeping them on top all the time.
I navigated to Library/Internet Plug-ins and there was nothing in it.

Why is the Shockwave player not requesting the root crossdomain.xml

Hi,
I have a Director movie (DCR) that is presented to visitors to my website. The DCR is actually downloaded from a separate Content Delivery Network (CDN).
On startup, the DCR connects to my original website to retrieve some additional information that is presented to the visitor. But because the DCR comes the CDN, when it attempts to access my website a warning dialog appears informing the visitor that the DCR is attempting to access another site and asking them to allow or deny access.
I did some reading of the Adobe docs and found that from version 11.5, the Shockwave player will skip this dialog if the referenced domain includes a cross domain policy file that permits access. The movie can load a specific policy from the target domain, but if it doesn't the docs say that the player will read the default crossdomain.xml from the root of the target network.
So I created and deployed the default crossdomain.xml as described in the documentation and redeployed my application. However, when the DCR started the same dialog appeared warning about the cross domain reference and asking me to allow or deny it.
I thought perhaps there was an error in how I deployed the cross domain file, but when I checked more closely I discovered that Shockwave player never even requested the file from the target server.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Am I missing some step that is required to make the player request the default cross domain policy file?
Thanks in advance for any help people can offer.
Damian

I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

Posting Problem on Flash Player-based Website

I have a brand new desktop with Windows 7, with both 64 and 32 bit Internet Explorer. When on the 32 bit explorer and attempting to post on HBO's Flash Player-based website, I now am unable to make paragraph breaks. Never had this problem before. Can anyone offer any insight?

What I read is Adobe is not supporting mobile Flash any longer, which means no security updates. BlackBerry has chosen not to use it going forward, which makes sense if it isn't supported and isn't being updated by the developer.

Allowing Shockwave Player to run for non-admins

Hi all, I see the following problem on and off for years now, with Adobe Flash and in particular Adobe Shockwave Player.
I have a school that has a Windows 7 lab. Shockwave Player 11.6 is installed as part of the base image. It shows up in "Programs and Features"
After it was initially installed, I tested the plug-in by going to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it worked fine.
The problem I'm having is with non-admin users. Our students aren't local admins. Say they go to a website that has Shockwave content, for example, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/index.html
When I (with a non-admin student account) click on the link to play the Shockwave content, a pop-up window appears. Then IE 9 displays a message "This webpage wants to run the following add-on: "Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6" from Adobe Systems Incorporated. Allow/Allow for all websites?" I don't want to see this again, so I click Allow for All websites. Then I get another window: "Adobe Shockwave Player is now installing....Installing compatibility components." So far, so good. The problem is, once the installation progress bar gets to the end, Windows User Access control pops up prompting for an admin user account and password to complete the install. Since they don't have an admin account, the install can't complete.
How do I get Shockwave Player to "just work" for non admin users? I see for Flash there is this document at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 about registry permissions, etc. Is there a similar solution for Shockwave Player?
Please help, thanks,
Sir_Timbit

If SW is trying to install compatibility components, be sure to run the full installer before creating your base image
