That message states the response from a Macromedia Tech support:

Thank you for writing Macromedia Technical Support. 

 

The best thing to do would be to fill out the Feature Request form 

here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/ and have other 

Linux users do the same. 

 

 

The engineers view the wishlist regularly and would consider porting 

the player to Linux if enough users request for it. 

 

 

We hoped this has helped. 

 

 

Best regards,

It has been buggin' me for awhile that shockwave doesn't work when I'm on my linux box. My son likes to play some games on miniclip.com (they use shockwave) and all he gets is a blank screen when he goes there while in linux.

 

I also sent in the feature request / bug report.

Been there and did that, too. If I get time I'll check out the JustLinux board and see about posting this info/link there. Hey we gotta cover all possible bases in the Linux world in order for MacroMedia to get enough submissions to hopefully port Shockwave for our Linux boxes.

 

Later. Pepse.
