Please disregard.  Looks as if it's the shockwave player at fault.  I don't know why the error above showed up.
Comment 2 David Walser 2016-12-23 17:11:17 CET
The real issue is that the old 11.2 version is no longer available for download.  We are working on an update to the current version, but there are some issues with it currently.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID
