This plug-in is from Adobe, Inc. Flash Player is available for Mozilla, but the Shockwave
plug-in is not yet available for Linux.
CrossOver Plugin (www.codeweavers.com)??”Linux plug-ins are not yet available for
some of the more interesting and popular plug-ins. QuickTime movies, Shockwave
Director multimedia content, and various Microsoft movie, file, and data formats simply
will not play natively in Firefox. Using software built on WINE for Linux on x86-based
processors, CodeWeavers created the CrossOver Plugin. Although no longer offered as a
separate product (you must buy the entire Crossover Office product for $39.95 US), the
CrossOver Plugin lets you play some content that you could not otherwise use in Linux.
(Download a demo from www.codeweavers.com/site/products/download_trial
and choose CrossOver Linux.)
After you install the CrossOver Plugin, you see a nice Plugin Setup window that lets you
selectively install plug-ins for QuickTime 6.5, Windows Media Player, Shockwave 8.5,
Flash, iTunes, and Lotus Notes, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint viewers.
(Support for later versions of these content formats may be available by the time you
read this.) You can also install other multimedia plug-ins, as well as a variety of fonts to
use with those plug-ins.
