Shockwave??

I have Mac OSX 10.5.4 A few weeks ago I started getting the following message -- This page has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Many pictures, videos and ads no longer appear on Safari. You-tube doesn't work at all now.
When I go to the macromedia website to download shockwave I'm told it isn't compatible with Intel based Macs. I've tried installing shockwave and uninstalling but nothing happens.
Help.

Hello n:
Since things have become a bit confused, I think I might opt for an archive and install:

An A&I will install a fresh OS X while preserving your files, programs, and settings. It also creates a rather large +"previous system"+ folder which contains everything before it begins (that is a safety net - I suggest it should be kept for three weeks or so). You would, of course, need to run software update to bring everything up to speed. It is always a good idea to backup before any software change.

Adobe Flash/Shockwave Problems

for some reason Adobe Flash is Crashing Every day for the last 2 weeks with Firefox i'v reinstalled it and it didn't help one bit and not sure whats going on. my system is a Win 8 (64bit) Firefox version is 25.0

Download the following files (Right click and "Save Link as"):
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer
Reboot.
Run the Uninstallers from your Downloads folder, to remove BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave.
Go to: C/Windows/System32 and delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64 and delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Windows Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key+r. Tpye "regedit" [minus the quotes] and click OK.
In the Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.
Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your Recycle bin.
Run the Shockwave FULL Installer first, and THEN the Flash Player Installer. These are offline installers and will require no connection during the process.
If problems persist, try disbaling other plugins and extensions for Firefox, to determine if one or more is conflicting with Flash and Shockwave.

How do I fix the "shockwave flash" error, causing firefox to lock up, slow, or crash?

continous errors about "shockwave flash", "script has stopped working" etc, causing numerous slowdowns, lock-ups, and crashes. have tried several fixes, but none have worked.....please advise

Is it a permissions problem? Here's another way.
(1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
(2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
(A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
(B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
(3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad. Add this on its own line (I put it last):
ProtectedMode=0
Save the file and close Notepad.
(4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
This change should take effect the next time you restart Firefox.
Hopefully that works around the permission issue.

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\

Jabber and Shockwave

I use Jabber, but since installing have had issues with Shockwave not responding. Is this common, connected or just coincidence?
Cheers

Hi Chris,
I have Adobe Shockwave 12.1.6r156 and Jabber for Windows 10.5(4).
Try to install and test each one separately.
What versions do you have?

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 updates, gives 2 options, full or slim - nothing explains the difference How do I know what to use

McAfee program searches for programs that are susceptible to malware and automatically searched for updates and installs them. For some Reason, when it comes to Adobe products it requires myself to have to perform a manual update.
When I followed the link McAfee provides to the Adobe website and follow the steps to install the update....at one point it give you and option of an update that as the word "Full" in the middle of the Update Choice, and the 2nd option is exactly the same except instead of the word "Full", it has the word "Slim".
Nowhere (FAQs, etc) can I find the difference between the two, so how do I know which I need?
I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1 operating system.
8GB Ram and I think its one of those Quad Drive things
1 TB Memory
I use Firefox as my internet operating system.
I started with Internet Explorer, but a problem existed that had something to do with that program not being loaded properly initially,
I tried to Get Microsoft Help but they wanted $149 to fix it, So I abandoned use of Internet Explorer and loaded Fire Fox.
I will note, I don't know if its germane or note, Since switching to Fire Fox,   my system stalls quite frequently and I get a popup that says something about a Flash Program (maybe shockwave flash) and it states it is not responding. It gives me the option to continue or cancel and a check box to not ask me again.   Though I select that check box I do get asked often.
When this Popup occurs, I can't use any of the internet windows I have open or any of the internet window Tabs I have open. It also seems to affect the one game I play (Spider) and it stalls that game also. I sense it has something to do with anything that has pictures on it possibly. After several minutes 3 to 5 plus it seems to recover
I'm sorry I am not real computer literate
Thank you for any help you can provide
Keith
PS All I am trying to do is get hold of Adobe to ask about their program, why I have to do all this registering and go into a Forum or Community (whatever those are) is confusing to me.

The Full version includes all xtras and the Slim version just the bare essentials. I would recommend using the full version as your experience of using the plugin will be more seamless (no pausing while required xtras are downloaded on demand)

Shockwave and Flash Player installed works fine but it says damaged in the dependency tab.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. When I go to
downloaded programs in windows where your active x programs are.
The icons on the leftt of shockwave player are white. I right click
on the shockwave player and click on properties and in the
dependency tab has nothing in the file name. Over to the right size
bites says damaged. On the download programs itself where the
shockwave player is the status says installed and the bite size
says 4 KB it did not it did not say damage only in the dependency
tab. My shockwave programs and games work fine. On the dependency
it has this message,This page lists the 1 file (s) amd 0 java
packages upon which shockwave active x controls depends on. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling about 5 times and the samething came
up. If it has to run on the main package java the samething is
there too. There too it is installed and the bites are okay the
only place it says damage is in the dependency tab. I unstalled
that and reinstalled it the same number of times and the samething
appeared. Flash player the same way. How do I fix this problem? In
dowloaded programs I also have another shockwave active x control
with the same version and 2 java of the same version. Also after I
uninstall shockwave player I go to manage add ons and delete the
one that is still there and in the downloaded programs it has
unknown with a bunch of letters. There is no way to delete that
when you right click it you only see properties.

Flash (Shockwave) keeps crashing in both Chrome and IE

Hi,
I am having problems with Shockwave "crashing". Mainly what happens is when I try to view a video or play a game on Facebook, Google Chrome says that the plugin has stopped responding and then my browser freezes up.
I have tried running things in IE as well and the same thing happens.
I have gone to the link provided in other threads to unenable hardware acceleration, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I am running Windows 7.
Thanks!

Okay. Please go to chrome://crashes and file bugs for the first couple. This will transmit all of the relevant technical details to Google.
If you can give me the resulting bug numbers, I'd be happy to follow up with Google on them.

Importfileinto fails PNG's on SOME computers WHEN on the internet (shockwave)

hello;
I have a shockwave that uses preloadnetthing/importfileinto
to import various files (eg jpg's , png's , w3d's );
use my laptop as an example:
- when in author mode ( Director 10 ) all files do as
expected;
- when on the internet,
the png's download correctly, eg netdone(..)=1 ,
neterror(...) = 'OK' ;
but the importfileinto seems to fail; eg
member(my_png).number = -1 OR ...type=#empty
furthermore, when on other machines, everything works as
expected; eg ...type=#bitmap ;
any thoughts???

Shockwave won't play linked Director files from server

I created a bunch of director files for the course content of my class. All can be accessed from a contents file. When I created an html contents file on my desktop (in the same folder as the linked director files), the contents pages would open in shockwave in my browser (both Firefox and Safari) and then by clicking on a link other director files would open and play. However, when all these files were place on our server (in the same folder), only the contents pages would open and we get an error message saying the dirctor files cannot be opened. I think this means it sees them, but can't open them.
Help!

Hi Sean
   sorry if my e-mail was a bit whiney, but I got a bit frustrated,
having tried to use the Adobe website for help and then trying for
help over the phone. Adobe has this nice thing where they will call
you back instead of you sitting on hold, which I used at first, but
you get called back by a machine, not a person, then you subsequently
get a progression of robocalls with nobody on the other end! I
finally just sat and waited and got a person, who seemed
knowledgeable and nice, but couldn't help me without a payment. So, I
would greatly appreciate any help you could provide!
       What I have is this. I constructed a "book" in CD form for my
class. This is based on CDs that Mike Coleman and I published a few
years ago. A picture of the contents page is shown below. Each topic
is in a separate Director file, each with its own casts. We made a
lot of animations, some in Flash and some in Quicktime that appear in
each topic. I redid everything in Director 11.5, changing text
spacing because of the way things get altered when things get played
in Shockwave! When I click on one of these subtopics, the
corresponding Director file opens. I accomplished linkage this by
appending a behavior to the text, "Play Movie X". I then originally
made a projector file of the contents page and distributed the CD to
my class free (textbook prices are getting out of hand). Now I want
to put it on the web, because I'm tired of burning CDs and we're
getting students from other locations taking the course on-line. So
within the folder on my desktop that held all the Director files, I
made a second folder "dswMedia" into which I placed all the
animations. I also linked all the animation casts to the Contents
Director file. I then constructed a Contents.html file and
Contents.dcr file using the Publish commands in Director. When I
click on the Contents.html file within my main folder (the one
holding all the Director files and the dswMedia file) the page opens
nicely in my browser (Firefox) and I can play all the Director movies
by clicking on each topic. All the animations play beautifully.
Great , I thought, I'm in business. I then took the files to our
media guy who put it on the server, in the same form as on my
desktop. If we click on the Contents.html file through the web it
opens. Clicking on a topic does not open that Director Movie. The
error message is not that it can't find the movie, however, but that
it can't open it. Everything works just fine on our media guys
computer, we only have a problem when we attempt to use this stuff
through the web. (Our web guy's computer does not have Director, so
that's not the issue).
      Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
         Regards
                Paul

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.

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]

(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop.

Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
