Hi all, The anticipated inclusion of 3D into the Shockwave Player is now a reality! Yesterday we shipped the Shockwave Player 8.5, which includes sophisticated interactive 3D technology, integration of Flash 5, RealVideo and RealAudio streaming and Multiuser enhancements, including UDP messaging and Server-side Lingo scripting. As always, the current release of Shockwave can be downloaded from: <http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/> Our Shockwave Version History document, designed to keep the developer community apprised of the most recent version and recent changes, has been updated to reflect this most recent release: <http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/sw_history.htm> For more information on Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio, please go to: <http://www.macromedia.com/software/director/> Note about Shockwave and auto-update messaging: Many of you who have Shockwave bits from earlier Shockwave 8.5 releases will go through *two* auto-update processes. Neither of these two auto-update processes will be *full* updates, but both will be necessary. This will affect developers who have previously installed the "Developer Release" and users who installed the "Public Beta" release. If you have earlier versions of Shockwave Player 8.5 installed, the first auto-update would occur when you initially encounter Shockwave 8.5 content following the initial availability of Shockwave 8.5r321, released on 4/25/01. This auto-update process is considered a "minor" update and will not force a restart of your browser. The second auto-update will occur at a yet-to-be-determined date. Despite being labeled "major" (because the browser needs to be shut down), the download involved will be fairly small. To avoid the initial (and double) auto-update, feel free to use our Shockwave Uninstaller first, before installing the release version of Shockwave Player 8.5 (if you have not already installed it). Uninstallers can be downloaded from: <http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/?P1_Prod_Version=SW3DUninstall> Thanks and hope this helps. -Jake Jake Sapirstein - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Developer Relations Manager Director/Shockwave Player Engineering [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
