Shockwave player version detection problem

hello;
I am using a vbscript that uses
[code]
For i = 20 To 1 Step -1
CreateObject( "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr( i ) )
Next
[/code]
I have uninstalled shockwave from my computer;
however the script gets a positive hit on i=9, implying that
I have shockwave version 9 on my computer;
are there any other checking methods that I should use?
thanks

Hello,
with your script you detect the version of the "(Shockwave)
Flash Player" (development tool: Macromedia/Adobe Flash) not of the
"Shockwave Player" (development tool: Macromedia/Adobe Director).
So it's normal that a uninstall of the "Shockwave Player" has no
effect on the result of your script .
Greetings
Jens

I literally had to go through my system and manually remove
the Norton Security Scan files to stop this from happening!
Anyone else with this problem on Windows Vista 32-bit can
stop Norton Security Scan from reinstalling by doing the following
Delete C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\nssstub.exe
from your system.
Also in C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Temp
Remove or quarantine all of the files with Norton in the
name.
Also in the same folder, Remove or quarantine NSSstub.txt
This is a nuisance! This optional software bundle should not
be selected and installed by default.
Yes, I believe that it hurts the product and brand in the long run that they have opt-out 3rd party software, but they're by far not the only large company that does this with their software.
Anyways, DO NOT uninstall Norton's manually. To clean most Norton's products from your system as fully as you can, use their removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
And for those of you who are still paranoid about using their removal tool to remove their software - this tool came about because of customer complaints, so it does what it says.

Flash Player Version Detection

FB3 deploys a Flash or Flex project with AC_OETags.js. The first line of that file is
// Flash Player Version Detection - Rev 1.6
If you are using FB4 or any product newer than FB3 could you compare the AC_OETags.js file?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Thats helpful.
The FB3 app deployment included:
AC_OETags.js
history/history.css
history/history/.js
history/historyFrame.html
playerProductInstall.swf
js in the head of the html wrapper
// in the head
// Globals ...
// js in the body
AC_FL_RunContent() ...
How does the new deployment compare?

Adobe Shockwave player version 11.5.8.612

Hi Folks...
I installed the above mentioned shockwave player on my machine and I also have adobe Flash player 10. However I am still not able to play back any shockwave files(shockwave flash object) , any idea what the cause could be?

Hi Folks...
I downloaded and installed the trial version of CS5 Flash, and the problem was solved.

Choosing Shockwave Player version to publish to

In MX 2004 you can publish to player 10 of 8.5. In the D11
trial there's no choice. I understand there's DX9 and Unicode and
whatnot that older players won't support, but isn't the program
able to tell if you're using those features and alert you if you
try to save to an older player format? Flash CS3 lets you choose
player version and alerts you if you try to use something the
player won't understand. And anything Flash can do Director should
do better.
If we have to publish to the 11 player we'll have to keep MX
2004 installed because one of our main customers is at player 10
across the enterprise, and we have no idea when they'll go to 11,
if at all. (-.-)

Ah, thats not so bad.
I used to have 6.5 & 7.0.2 & 8.5 all installed at the
same time.
Now I have MX2004 added to that and no problems.
I suggest just leave it installed.

Shockwave Player Version 11

Well, the links to the Shockwave Player 11 are up now at 9pm
EST 3/24 at
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/.
Their links are broken, so you can't actually download
anything.
But they are there.

I've already prodded Allen a couple of times about this with

I don't think it's his fault, but obviously someone is

Shockwave player version 12.0.9.149 msi install

Dear Adobe!
I've already applied to the Software Distribution process, but on the page I got in the email, there is still the old version of Shockwave player (12.0.7.148).
When could I expect the new MSI installer to be uploaded?
Thanks,
Levente Luksa

This link should always point to the latest compiled/uploaded version. If it isn't current you'll need to talk to someone on the Director team, and none of them monitor this or any other related forums.

Server-side flash player version detection

Does anyone know of a method to pull the users flash-player
version number (the entire thing, not just
">6" or "9" but
"9,0,115,0") that does not use browserhawk. We
are building a troubleshooting page for our LMS built on ASP.net,
and do not want to use javascript, or vbscript to pull the version
number. We can use a javascript method if absolutely necessary, but
want to explore any server-side methods we can use first. We don't
want to use browserhawk as it is wholly too expensive for our
purposes.

I have done that temporarily, but we were hoping to do this
without placing a Flash SWF on the page. We are building a
troubleshooting page, and want to keep as many variables out of the
calculations as we can. IE, if Javascript is the issue, then a
Javascript to tell us the Flash version would be a bad idea. If
Flash is the issue, then a flash element would be a bad idea. If we
keep all of the calculations on the server-side, and not on the
client-side, then we know that nothing of the clients is messing
with the information displayed.

Shockwave Player Version

Hello, I have inserted a Director Shockwave movie into my site by clicking on INSERT--MEDIA--SHOCKWAVE--MOVIENAME.
When I preview, I get the following error message:
"This page is referenced to an incorrect version of Shockwave".
I have the most recent version of Director Shockwave (11.5.0.596) . This site was created with an html page. When I inserted the ".dcr" file, the following code was created:
<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="32" height="32">
      <param name="src" value="kidvoice.dcr" />
      <embed src="kidvoice.dcr" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/" width="32" height="32"></embed>
    </object>
I changed the cab#version from a 10 to an 11 and then to 11.5 and then to 11.5.0.596 thinking that would do the trick.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help, Bluejays86

The code differs depending on which browser you are using, here is an example:

Prevent Flash player version detection

I have the same single flash movie (scrolling banner) on each
of the 12 pages of my CD based 'website'. When the webpage first
loads the user is prompted to say yes to the message; 'Are you sure
that you want to allow CDs to run active content on your
computer?'. Even when the 'In the future, do not show this
message.' checkbox is ticked I still have to press Yes 18 times
before my page loads. When I navigate to another page the message
appears again and Yes has to be pressed 10 times before the new
page loads. Obviously a microsoft bug that will quickly put off the
user.
I assume that I only need the code that checks Flash plugin
and version once in my whole website - preferably on my homepage
which is always loaded first (not for each movie on each page. As I
am not sure exactly which code to remove I tried using the Remove
Flash Video Detection option from the Commands menu however it is
grayed out. Does anyone have any idea why this is not enabled or
how I can improve this whole situation so the user is never or only
once asked re active content.
Should I publish the Flash movie as an older version to avoid
the user having to download the latest version of the Flash plugin,
or will this not prevent the message? As this site is CD based the
user may not be connected to the web.
Using Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash CS3.
Thanks

I have had to remove this mark of the web line of code as it
does in fact disable all links to my pdfs, as you mentioned.
I am extrememly annoyed with Microsoft over this as it is
very unlikely to ever get unsafe content from a CD compared with
the web / email.
So I am stuck again with a web interface for my CD content
that is unworkable in that it asks whether the user wants to run
active content 15 times at the start (when CD autoruns) and again
this many times each page change. Even when the little tick box is
checked to no show the message in future it still asks repeatedly.
My site contains 2 flash movies and 42 collapsible panels.
Can anyone please suggest any other methods whereby the user
does not have to change any settings or click many active content
messages?
Cheers

Shockwave player is either busy or has stop working...this happens all the time. How can I correct this problem?

Every five minutes or so I keep getting warning signs that Shockwave player is either busy or has stopped working do I want to continue or stop plugin. How can I fix this problem? I have refreshed firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed and still this problem persists.

Can you post a link to where this happens? A screenshot may help as well: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Also your operating system and Shockwave Player version?
