There is a new plug-in for Netscape, substantially larger, Shockwave 7, that
accommodates both DCR and SWF files, however, it is not the one that is
provided with current downloads of Netscape. That one is still the
Flash-specific plug-in version 3.0.15.0. A separate plug-in is necessary to
view Director-generated Shockwave files, and that is why you were sent off the
the Macromedia site.
I believe downloads of Internet Explorer 5 include that same 3.0.15.0 version
of Shockwave, but I don't think it is supplied with any earlier versions of
IE.
