Adobe Shockwave Flash Player
Vanina Mazzillo
I had shockwave flash installed on Ubuntu 15.10 with Firefox. Now I have updated to 16.04, it appears to no longer be available. Or at least I can't find it in the usual ways. I understand it is no longer updated, but where can I get the last version available?Where is it to be found? Or should I re-install Ubuntu 15.10?
A: Shockwave Player displays content created with Adobe Director 11.5 software such as high-performance multiuser games, interactive 3D product simulations, online entertainment, and training applications. By using extensions, developers can extend the capabilities of Shockwave Player to play back custom-built applications.
Flash Player displays content created with Flash Professional CS5. This content includes web applications, website user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and rich Internet applications (RIAs) created using Flex.
Then do: sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash .If you get any message of a missing file or any error message, go to -flashplugin , select "adobe-flashplugin" 32 or 64-bit deb package and select to open it with "software install(default)". Softaware center will open on adobe-flashplugin page. Press install, then restart your browser and you are done. I hope it helps !
Shockwave and Flash Player are 2 different products. You're posting to the Flash Player forums, which is completely separate from Shockwave Player. I was going to move this post to the Adobe Shockwave Player (Read-Only) forum for someone familiar with Shockwave Player assist, however, now that Adobe has end-of-lifed Shockwave, the forum has been set to read-only.
To uninstall Flash Player silently, use the standalone uninstaller with the command line -uninstall (e.g. uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall). Note that the uninstaller will *not* uninstall the embedded versions of Flash Player (PPAPI for Chromium-based browsers and Flash Player ActiveX Control on Windows 8 and above for Internet Explorer/Edge). The embedded versions are managed by the respective browser vendors.
Note that if you have a custom mms.cfg file modifying the update options, running the standalone uninstaller will reset the update options to the default update options (notification auto-update). If this is the case, you'll want to deploy the custom mms.cfg file when redeploying Flash Player.
Thank you Maria for the response, but I am talking about shockwave... will be removing it out of our environment since Adobe will no longer be supporting it and I need a uninstall package to deploy out...
For the Shockwave Player EXE installer, I searched in the Shockwave forums and tech notes and found Find current installers for Adobe Shockwave Player which indicates that the uninstaller is saved at C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave on a 64-bit OS). This tech note is for version 10 and the uninstaller file name seems to have changed from unwise.exe to uninstaller.exe at some point since then. I installed the most recent version of Shockwave and used this uninstaller with the /S switch (uninstaller.exe /S) and it uninstalled Shockwave Flash silently.

Shockwave Flash was causing my browser 40.0.3 to start videos I did not want to play, I added an add-on to block Shockwave Flash; however, this became very cumbersome to enable and disable when i go to sites that required Flash like a greeting card site. I found another add-on called "Video without Flash", it told me to remove "shockwave Flash" I did, now I can not get any video on the greeting card site. Is the problem that I removed Shockwave Flash or something else, I have the latest Flash Player from Adobe.
When you visit a site that wants to use Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and usually (but not always) one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
The plugin notification icon in the address bar typically looks like a small, dark gray Lego block. (When the page wants to use a plugin with a security problem, the icon turns red to alert you to the concern.)
If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click the notification icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.
But some pages use Flash only for tracking or playing ads, so if you don't see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! It will just sit there in case you want to use it later.
I guess I have not been very clear. I do not have any flash plug in, it is gone. I removed it when another plug in told to remove it (my mistake). I have uninstalled Flash Player which according to Adobe removes all of it. Then I reinstalled it and still NO flash player and NO flash plug in.
I was being a dunce, I thought I was looking at "plug-ins" but was looking in "add-one" when I looked in plug-ins I found shockwave flash director, made it always active, whet back to make sure it took, didn't find it but found Shockwave Flash which was in "never" status, made a,ways active rebooted and all was well. Then when I when to Adobe and checked to see if Flash player was installed or current, it was there. Hope this helps you understand why I was having such a difficult time
Adobe Flash player may still be called Shockwave Flash in some places still. The Shockwave (for director) Player is a different Plugin and is not needed for Flash to work. The Shockwave player plugin is used little now days compared to the Flash player.
