The Title: line is the question. Sometimes, a site will have Macromedia Flash movies and games. Some other sites will have Macromedia Shockwave movies and games. What’s the difference between the two programs? Why have two different programs from one company that do the same thing?
They’re the same thing. “ShockWave” was the original name of the program used to create them, “Flash” is the current one.
That’s wrong; they’re different things and they require different players; details here@
