There is no (and most likely will never be) a Shockwave Director plugin<br>
for Linux (see online petition with 35k signatures here:<br>

work well in a TC environment at all. You'd probably be better off<br>
trying to get the website to change their platform. This is a big issue<br>
with SRA Open Court Online ( <a href=3D"http://www.opencourtonline.com/" ta=
rget=3D"_blank">http://www.opencourtonline.com/</a> ) as well.<br>
It really sucks there's no workaround. It'd be nice if Flash had a<=
br>
Shockwave emulation mode or something, but I have no idea if that's eve=
n<br>
technically feasible. There's closed source software for ya, though.<br=
