Shockwave and Flash are both platforms originally made by Macromedia, now Adobe products, that deliver animated content to the web. Shockwave is used primarily for game playing, whereas Flash covers games, watching video, ad banners, web navigation and more. In order to use either of these programs, you have to have the Shockwave and Flash players installed. When that’s done, you can test the platforms separately by going to Adobe sponsored test sites.
