Developers, Today Macromedia announces a comprehensive update to both Macromedia Director and the Shockwave Player. This update includes a wide variety of changes to both the authoring environment and the player, including but not limited to:
- dozens of bug fixes across the product, including the documentation - the ability to create projectors for the Classic Macintosh operating systems from Windows - a new, "slim" Shockwave Player installer resulting in a download size nearly 2MB smaller than before, this includes changes to the Shockwave Player's Xtras auto-downloading mechanism to ensure that existing content continues to function correctly Note: we are also providing full installers (these contain all Xtras)in both executable form and in CAB file form (for ActiveX auto-installs) - reduced number of dialogs during the Shockwave Player installation process for all Windows users and a redesigned installation completion movie As of today, September 16th, we are only providing updated installers for Macromedia Director (in all languages). Within the next week, the Shockwave Player installers available from the Player Download Center and as part of the free-licensing program for distributing on fixed-media or in corporate intranet environments, will be updated to this latest release.
