What is Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player?
The Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player are both free web players from Adobe. Each has a distinct purpose: • The Adobe Flash Player displays content created with Adobe Flash such as web application front-ends, high-impact web site user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and short-form to long-form animation. • The Adobe Shockwave Player displays content created with Adobe Director such as high-performance multi-user games, interactive 3D product simulations, online entertainment, and training applications. By using Xtra extensions, developers can extend the capabilities of the Shockwave Player to play back custom-built applications.
