Flash Player and Shockwave Player software are both free web players from Adobe. Each has a distinct purpose: • Flash Player displays content created with Flash CS4 Professional, such as web application front ends, high-impact website user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and short-form to long-form animation and web applications created using Flex. • Shockwave Player displays content created with Adobe Director® software such as high-performance multiuser games, interactive 3D product simulations, online entertainment, and training applications. By using extensions, developers can extend the capabilities of Shockwave Player to play back custom-built applications.
