I tried Shockwave in IE, and it works fine there. I set it to always activate, but the test page still shows nothing. The list of Addons shows the new version of Shockwave for Director installed and active. I know this was working the last time I updated Flash Player, which was mid last month. I uninstalled Shockwave Player from Control Panel, rebooted, and reinstalled the new version of Shockwave Player. I found a newer version of Shockwave Player 12.2.5.195 and installed that. When I ran the test page from Adobe ( ), I noticed that the new Flash Player was working, but my Shockwave Player was not. In February, Adobe's Lightroom software for photo editing got an AI boost that offered a 30 percent increase in image quality.I just updated Adobe Flash Player to the latest version 23.0.0.185 on my Windows 10 laptop using Firefox 49.0.1. While retiring some programs, Adobe's still improving others. This comes after Adobe announced in 2017 that it'll stop developing and distributing Flash at the end of 2020. The company said Creative Cloud would be the best replacement. Adobe Director, a tool for creating Shockwave content, and the Shockwave player for MacOS were both discontinued in 2017. Shutting down Shockwave, which was used for things like interactive applications and video games, has been a multiyear process, the company said. The help page was earlier spotted by Ghacks. "As technologies evolve and the use of mobile devices has grown, interactive content has moved to platforms such as HTML5 Canvas and Web GL and usage of Shockwave has declined," Adobe wrote on its help page. On April 9, the browser-based multimedia platform will be discontinued and the Shockwave player for Windows won't be available for download.
