Not without shockwave and I ain't installing it!

What is the difference between the Adobe Flash player and the
Adobe Shockwave Flash player?


I have no idea but I know Shockwave is forbidden on the networks the
service company I use, maintains. If it's good enough for my system
admin to advise me not to let it be installed, then it won't be.

Why have a dog and do all the barking yourself? I pay them to make sure
my network runs efficiently and is secure, not to give me an in-depth
discussion on the stuff they don't like to see on a network.

I think it is in the way shockwave can be used to transmit data. (phone
home). but I'm not sure and not interested in finding out. If you want
to display movies, there are other ways to do it.

It's a 3D castle where you can walk around. Well, anybody but you ;-)

I dunno if it's a movie or not, but it moves like a movie unless you
press the space bar.

Using a PC, WindowsXP, and Firefox, it loads after updating Flash, but
takes forever to load...and I'm on cable. Muddy, dark images, but it
works.

Same here. Had to install flash player manually in firefox. Poor image.
Dave Cohen

Take that back (a little). After I posted and after a delay, the image
started to display as a movie. Sort of slow to respond and I'm on DSL,
but it does work.
Dave Cohen

Firefox on vista and even after a manual install it didn't work.

Then IE took forever installing shockwave, the load was slow & I just
got a tiny dark picture that doesn't *do* anything.

Spacebar doesn't do anything.
Shockwave tried to install a free Norton antivirus thing too... bleh!

What is the difference between the Adobe Flash player and the
Adobe Shockwave Flash player?

Shockwave is slower and more complex, used for online games etc.
See how the link above looks like 3D game graphics?

Flash is faster to load and simpler, more for 2D type stuff.

And both of them are horribly slow and bloated for loading and
viewing web galleries. The example posted above might be mildly
clever in concept, but the novelty wears off because it takes so
long to load, and in the end the thumbnails are too small and
slow to get to for any real appreciation. Kudos for the original
idea, though.

Ah, just because you CAN do a thing does not mean that you SHOULD do that
thing.

Okay, looks like I now have the latest Shockwave. I'm using the beta IE8 on
a Vista 64-bit laptop, and the process of clicking through, installing
Shockwave through several admin popups, then waiting for the demo to load,
was just not worth my time. I only did it because... well... because you
asked. Otherwise, I'd have left that site at the first sign that I had to do
anything to proceed.

I understand the video game approach (don't care for it, but understand it),
but it's obviously not yet up to snuff. Even with cable internet, it's much
too slow for showing off photos.

Pick another presentation.

You know what really gets me?
All these IT expert folks who run heaps of AV stuff in their computers,
supposedly in an informed manner, so that their systems are free from malware,
and who promptly click on a link that installs unknown plugins on a site never
seen before, AND they merrily do it!

Like HECK, I'll ever click a link from an unknown site saying: "click here to
install whatever"!
Sure, it's gonna happen.
Dream on...
