There is no (and most likely will never be) a Shockwave Director plugin for Linux (see online petition with 35k signatures here: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?linuxswp ). You could try using it with wine or cxoffice, but in my experience this doesn't work well in a TC environment at all. You'd probably be better off trying to get the website to change their platform. This is a big issue with SRA Open Court Online ( http://www.opencourtonline.com/ ) as well. It really sucks there's no workaround. It'd be nice if Flash had a Shockwave emulation mode or something, but I have no idea if that's even technically feasible. There's closed source software for ya, though.
