Under "Tools..." I have "Adobe Reader 9.3", "Adobe Reader 9.4" (temporarily disabled due to testing), "Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-in Compatible", "NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 1.3.0", and "Shockwave Flash 10 0 r153", that's all.

Now looking at about:plugins under "Shockwave Flash" it says:

File: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153

So to your question, the evidence seems to be saying that, yes, Shockwave is the same as Flash, at least on Linux. Or do you see something different?

Well, kinda' different over here, at least on Firefox4 running on WinXP.

Shockwave Flash File: NPSWF32.dll Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152

Shockwave for Director File: np32dsw.dll Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.8.612

Some differences are expected I guess, platform-wise. Just wasn't sure if Shockwave and Flash were the same thing. Will be quiet now. 8-)

Are you sure the latter isn't the Expen$ive flash video creator (like Acrobat vs. acroread)?
