Security flaws: Adobe does a very good job of updating Flash to address security vulnerabilities, but the Flash component that comes bundled with Shockwave is not updated at the same schedule, which means that Flash vulnerabilities could be exploited through Shockwave. ProsĬontent works well: No problems or errors were encountered when viewing any type of Shockwave content with the newest version of the player. Adobe Shockwave allows you to play Flash content, created using Adobe Director, on the Web.
