User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0

When attempting to launch one of these Adobe tutorials, I keep getting the "Get plugin" message, even though it has been downloaded and installed from the Shockwave website. I'm running a 17" Intel Core Duo iMac.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the refrenced site
2.Launch one of the demoes
3.See what happens!

Actual Results:  
Described above

Expected Results:  
That it would launch the demo. It works in the latest Firefox just fine! It DOESN'T work in Camino 1.0!

Run the demo/tutorials.

As far as I can tell, this is because Camino 1.0 is a universal binary, but Firefox 1.5 is not, and  there isn't a Mac-Intel Shockwave plugin. (Intel applications can't load PPC plugins.)

What happens if you get info on Camino and check "Run using Rosetta" (or whatever the option is actually called)? Aside from Camino running more slowly, does Shockwave content load?
