JD on EP: Shockwave vs Flash |
 | | The Macromedia Shockwave Player is still used in browsers for heavy-lifting tasks (most popular live 3D engine, much wider range of media types, native code extensibility and more), but Director's standalones are where most of the seems to be these days. |
 | | Shockwave uses a variety of decompression schemes, and (surprisingly) a simple SWF will usually be smaller when embedded in a Director movie than when delivered on its own. |
