[casual_games] future of shockwave

[BRENT SILBY]

Thanks Duncan.
BTW, if you are interested I can soon supply Playaholics with an updated SWF version of Popaloon to replace the old dhtml version. This will help us get over those old Firefox issues that we had with the dhtml version. All my games will be converted to SWF, so let me know if you want updates :)

Cheers,
Brent.
