The company was mine, so I hope it wasn't that. 
No. The general issue of Shockwave installers and the
changing list 
of bundled XTRAs.
I've had a number of times when we simply could not install
shockwave 
because of broken stuff on Macromedia/Adobe's end. There's
always 
good reasons ("we sold the company") but the
timing has been 
disastrous for me in every case. Apps that ran for years
suddenly 
broke after an "upgrade" which didn't include
previous XTRAs.
And don't get me started on printing... But that's
Print-O-Matic's 
fault, not Adobe's.

The real bummer is that the client is going with a
stand-alone app. 
If we remove the Shockwave headaches, (and overhead)
Director would 
be a stunning solution for this particular project.

Now let's get back to the oohs and aahs!
