Compatible version of "Adobe Shockwave Player?"
The Shockwave player is only available for Windows. You can use mozplugger(a program that lets you "embed" other programs in your web browser.) along with wine and windows version of firefox
First, install the wine and mozplugger packages (from the software center).
Now download and install the Windows version of Firefox . Download it from Mozilla's web site. Now double click it and install it .
Run the windows version of firefox .
Now go to a web site that requires Shockwave, and choose to get the missing plugin. Again, follow the on-screen instructions, and when the plugin has installed and is working, you may close Firefox.
Now you need to configure mozplugger to use the Windows version of Firefox for Shockwave files. Press Alt + F2 and type:
gksudo gedit
then open the /etc/mozpluggerrc file
Add the following two lines to the end of the file:
application/x-director: dir,dcr,dxr,cst,cct,cxt,w3d,fgd,swa: Macromedia Director file
swallow(firefox.exe) fill stream: wine "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" -chrome "$file"
Now open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and paste
rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat
Now run the native version of firefox and test the shockwave player by visting this site .

From Wikipedia:
Unlike Flash, the Shockwave browser plugin is not available for Linux or Solaris despite intense lobbying efforts. However, the Shockwave Player can be installed on Linux with CrossOver or by running a Windows version of a supported browser in Wine (with varying degrees of success).
Try running it with CrossOver or Wine.
Nope, there's no Shockwave for Linux. I suggest installing Firefox and Shockwave in WINE, that has worked for me in the past.
