Downloaded shockwave games from shockwave.com gives errors

skater40165 · Post by **skater40165** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 3:24 am

Ok just to clarify the games are downloaded not played through browser. I did still try the downloading firefox in wine and adding the plugin to it trick any ways and it didn't work. The login screen for the game will come up but any button I click gives me the following error.

Exception: TypeError - oX is undefined

Can anyone help? My mom plays these games all the time and is not very computer literate so I am constantly fixing her windows XP machine well I was trying to convince her to try kubuntu but she wont unless I can get these games to work.

What version of Wine? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If that doesn't fix it, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear.

I have the latest version and launching the initial application works but when launched you have to log into your shockwave account and when you click the submit button thats when the error occurs.

Can you run the application from the command line and advise us of any
messages you receive there? If the output is lengthy (say more than 20
lines or so) then post it to a site like pastebin.com and then post the
URL here.

Thank you.
