What are ShockWave files?
The ‘ShockWave’ file format has been developed by Macromedia. ShockWave files ‘stream’ (they play as the information comes, instead of waiting for the whole file to download). This makes them very convenient for large files, such as games, or animations. They can be interactive, they can even handle databases, and most modern browsers have the plug-in to play them. This technology is a very serious challenger to standard dynamic HTML format. They also compress sound files up to 1 to 70!
