What is the difference between Flash Player and Adobe ShockwaveŽ Player?

Flash Player and Shockwave Player software are both free web players from Adobe. Each has a distinct purpose:
* Flash Player displays content created with Flash Professional CS5, such as web application front ends, high-impact website user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and animations and rich Internet applications (RIAs) created using Flex.
* Shockwave Player displays content created with Adobe DirectorŽ software such as high-performance multiuser games, interactive 3D product simulations, online entertainment, and training applications. By using extensions, developers can extend the capabilities of Shockwave Player to play back custom-built applications.
