ZOOM . help . What is Shockwave?

In some parts of this site we use Shockwave or Flash. Both are FREE software available at Macromedia's Get Shockwave page. It only takes a few minutes to download and install them, then you don't even have to think about it. They'll stay on your computer, and whenever you find an animated Shockwave or Flash activity on the web, it should automatically start up.

There are many Shockwave and Flash pieces here at ZOOM:

ZOOM Pendulum make it swing!	ZOOMer Flip how low can you go?	Kitchen Chemistry science lives... in the kitchen!
whatZup 10 topics, updated every week	Zoops your embarrassing moments	ZOOMfunny all of this week's jokes
ZOOMmusic both of the ZOOM theme songs	Zmail this week's mailbaggage	ZOOMtoo Zmail parent & educator mailbaggage

We decided to make a lot of activities in Shockwave or Flash to bring them alive. They're very common, and many of you have them already. But, since we have a text-only version of the ZOOM web site too, you can still have a blast here without them.

You can find out more about Shockwave from Macromedia, the folks who make it. They say that over 120 million users have Shockwave installed, and approximately 200,000 people install it daily. There are thousands of Shockwave pages on the web, not just ours.
