Yes Shockwave player has not been ported to Linux, but their are ways around it, with out having to pay for Crossover. My openSUSE 10.3 box comes with a lib file that offers both flash and shockwave formats, it is called
libflashplayer.soIn order to add media support to Linux I find that all you need is the following:
VLC Mozilla plugin (and/or) Mplayer Mozilla plugin
Java Plug in
Helix DNA Plugin
Shockwave Flash
That should get you everything but activeX support, which can be simply fixed by using wine to run a windows web browser.
To see what you have support for, using Firefox, just type
about:plugins
into the address bar.
