Updated Shockwave Released (for Vista?)

A new version of the Shockwave plug-in (for Windows) was released earlier today (now up to version 10.2.0.021). If anyone knows what is updated, please leave a comment. As was announced at the eLearning conference, it is supposed to add support for Vista.

Is MacIntel next? I hope so.

Update: Discussion on mailing lists indicates that this update made the following changes.

Vista support for DirectX 7 rendering of 3D members.
Removed registration form from install process.
Removed need to restart browser after install.

All are nice new features. The last one is really nice.

Shockwave for Vista Update Coming Soon

I talked about using Director in a session at the eLearning Guild 2007 Conference last week and it was announced (by Rick Jones from Adobe) that there will be an update for Vista later this month in the Shockwave Plug-in. Several sessions talked about using Director for Immersive Learning Simulations (ILS), particularly for the multiuser web-based content.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that a MacIntel version will show up before the school year starts. At least a beta version over on Adobe Labs.

A few more thoughts from the conference later this week.

Still waiting for Snow Leopard Shockwave plugin. I think I'll be waiting a LONG time. Adobe: more time developing, less html5 fights. 2010-02-15

Check-in Fatigue

This is partially why I stopped using Foursquare. I hated the experience of getting somewhere and immediately being antisocial for a minute or so while I launched the app, searched for the location and checked in. I also hate it when my ... [more] […]

Smiling Faces

Today is the 15th anniversary of the day I registered my first domain: moshplant.com, which was the kickoff to my career (such as it was or is) as a freelance Director and Flash programmer. I don't remember picking St. Patrick's Day for any reason, in fact it wasn't until I started marking the date on my site after about ten years that I even […]

Miss Director

The last copy of Director I upgraded to was MX 2004 (aka "Director 10"). I haven't had any Director projects since I was laid off from Reality Engineering nearly three years ago, and the only Director-related project I've had was a prototype for an online (Flash) update of a 1994 Director product. MX 2004 wasn't much use there; I had […]

Colorado and Amazon Battle and People Like Me Suffer

The Problem Last month Colorado state legislature passed a bill that requires out-of-state stores to report unpaid sales tax to the state, and to the buyer. Basically, if you buy something from an online retailer, like Amazon.com, you don’t pay sales tax. Instead, you are supposed to pay sales tax on your own to the state. [...] […]
