Shockwave

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.06 sec.

A 3D animation and interactive learning technology and format from Adobe/Macromedia. Adobe Director generates Shockwave files, which can be viewed through a Web browser plug-in (the Shockwave player) or multimedia applications that access the player directly. Shockwave is used to develop more sophisticated animations and interactions than Macromedia's Flash format. Shockwave uses the .DIR (DIRector) file extension for source files and .DCR extension for the Shockwave "movie" that is created and played. See Flash, Shockmachine and shocked site.

1.(tool)Shockwave - A program from Macromedia for viewing files created with Macromedia Director. Shockwave is freely available as a plug-in for the Netscape Navigator web browser.
