We are using director files (.dcr) in our authorware piece. The program will
be run from a disk, not the web. Is there a way to have authorware check for
the shockwave player on the user's machine and prompt them to download it if
it's missing?

From: Erik *ACE* on
In the Functions dialog box, select the 'Xtra ActiveX' option and note
the ActiveXControlQuery function. Once you find the CLSID for the
Shockwave object, you should be able to do what you need.
