adobe shockwave flash vs. adobe flash player

I have tested on 2 different machines, same result. So either some version of Safari created a bug, or disabled it.

NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave (the icon looks like a black screen with green writing) If you goto the plugins folder, I do see a file called: A plug-in should be available on this page: The page “Adobe - Test Adobe Shockwave and Flash Players” has content of MIME type “application/x-director”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. I use to be able to goto:Īnd it would show some form of shockwave installed. I use to have it, before some version of Safari 3.x update (or atleast I thought it was a standard install with a new Late 2008 Macbook pro that came with 10.5.2 on it). Is there anything I can do within my system to try to resolve this issue? Any suggestions will be appreciated.Īt some point, one of the Safari updates has either caused a bug or broke Shockwave. The game's creator and other admins using Mac are of no help as they are not having the same problem. I used the browser Opera v8 for a few years due to this issue with Safari but after the site was updated to allow for shockwave 11 I had to update Opera and the text issue is even worse than Safari. The characters delay before showing up and I have to hit enter several times to send my text to their server. I have no crashes while on the site but I have a very annoying delay when entering text into the text field of the game. IMac G5 OS 10.4.11 Safari 3.1.2 Recently uninstalled and installed the latest update added to shockwave 11. I cannot supply the URL for this site as we are working on a beta for a new release of the game and the URL is password protected and I am not free to disclose as per confidentiality agreement with the game's creator. Other administrators using Safari are not experiencing the same issues so I'm thinking it's something in my computer causing this issue. I have a problem using Safari with a shockwave dependent web game that I am an administrator for so this problem is something I hope I can somehow fix.

Also, having Rosetta enabled causes web pages running on Java to not work. If you have installed the latest update of shockwave 11 you will need to untick/disable Rosetta as sw 11 is supposed to have resolved the reason Rosetta was needed in the first place.

Regarding Rosetta emulation for Intel Mac.
