No, the Flash Player and Shockwave Player free distribution agreement does not allow you to distribute the players from your website. You must direct visitors to the players, readers, and viewers area of our downloads page . To easily link to our website, we provide Adobe web player buttons that you can display on your site.

Multimedia utilities are fully supported by our servers including JAVA applets. You can be sure that all our hosting accounts support any and all Flash and Shockwave technology and therefore feel comfortable when you host Flash and Shockwave movies. Even if the complete websites are designed in Flash it will run perfectly on our servers.

Please visit Macromedia.com and you will be automatically directed to the correct version for your operating system and browser.

Yes. Macromedia Flash, Shockwave and JavaScript are technologies which are supported by all of our hosting packages as they are supported by the web browser. This means that the mechanism that is required to serve the particular technology is provided by the website visitor's browser.

Yes. To localise these files, we would need the source files used to create the Flash file (the .fla). The Flash file on the web (.swf or .exe) cannot be amended. With the source file we can translate any text and then create a new Flash file for the translated website. Yes.

How do I install or enable the [[Quicktime]] (or Quicktime Alternative) browser plugins on Windows?

Macromedia Flash Player See the following link to download and install the Macromedia Shockwave plug-in.

I am doing this site on my spare time and the applet was developed several years ago and at that time it seamed right.

Yes, you can. There are several games that load on a normal text webpage and don't require a plug-in.

Either your computer does not have Flash / Shockwave installed or you have Flash / Shockwave disabled. Using Internet Explorer, to check if Flash / Shockwave is enabled select tools from the main menu select internet options, select the security tab, then select internet under the zone selection area. Move the slider bar to medium. If you are using a custom security level then select the custom level button. From the security settings screen make sure that Run ActiveX controls is enabled.

Shockwave is a weekly radio program without a format. I specialize in science fiction humor and science fact with a spin, but it is and has been much more, and much less. Basically it's me being weird on the radio. It's great being without a format on a non-profit radio station. I can do just about anything. Shows have included: Giving a massage on the radio, examining pi, shows done on location underwater and at the St.

Absolutely. If done properly, the use of Flash, while not a Web standard technology, can be a fine addition to a Web standards compliant site. There are even methods to insure your Flash will not choke the W3C's XHTML validator. An all-Flash site, however, would probably not fall into that category. Macromedia is a very forward-thinking company however and Flash does have a future on the Web, so time will tell.

Not out-of-the-box, but there's a work-around to get Konqueror to use 32-bit plugins instead of 64-bit; see the post on the gentoo forums. You can also use a 32-bit web-browser, such as Opera, or a version of Firefox from mozilla.org. (The package included in Slamd64 is a 64-bit package)

I thought of that two years ago, so I took a night course in animation at the Art of Institute of Atlanta. You can see the animations I did for that class at http://www.kevinandkell.com/animation which is basically the Kevin walk cycle, and the 'turning around three times' piece. The animation was done with Adobe Premier. Sorry about the 'hitch' in the Kevin walk cycle. That happens when the program comes to the end of the 24 frames and repeats.

We can't help with something we don't make, but you can find some tips from the BBCi's Help pages. It's got advice for RealPlayer - that's RealAudio and RealVideo - Shockwave, Java and Flash.

QuickTime, Java, Shockwave, and Flash are free plug-ins (software) necessary to view our courses. An error message means that one of these plug-ins may not be installed--or may be incorrectly installed--on your computer. Helpful Hint: If you need to install a plug-in, and you have already installed your course, you may install the plug-in from your computer's hard drive instead of downloading it from the Internet. To do so, open: Access File must be installed to run a Longman CD-ROM course.

Unfortunately you cannot, as most of the Email clients as well as Webmail Service Providers like Hotmail, etc. may not support the above due to security reasons.

Now in Encore CS3, included with Premiere Pro CS3, you can create an SWF file as a choice from the Build Window. Select Format: Flash Download the trial version of Adobe / Macromedia Flash. Import the generated FLV file into Flash and then follow the prompts and then launch the generated SWF files. [edit]
