Both your post times are right around the same time they update the web sites, so I am guessing your login got caught between servers that were not all syncronized with the newest update sincebetween 9-10 AM EST is usually the time they update the servers.

Arrrgh.

edit: lol okay so apparently it runs fine on Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. =__=; One up for IE, I guess.

Probably. I went for breakfast and came back, and there it was! I haven't been able to unlock the newest arcade game yet...I just unlocked one yesterday!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

LOL

You will never guess!! Well, you probably will. lol I went to try and log into my frozen account just to try it and it actually WORKED!!!!

I could hear the music and Mr. Herriman like usual, after the clock finished loading and it sat there, like it had been all June Update. After about 1-2 minutes of just waiting for that dumb Shockwave movie error window to pop up, I actually saw Mr. H and the foyer!! Eeek! I was able to do the first Adventure and unlock a mini-game. I just did the Coco one since you guys have been having issues with the new one.

I had suspicions that it was tied to the June Update and possibly after the July Update the error might go away, but I honestly thought it was a long shot. I really didn't expect to see my account again. I'm soooooooo thrilled to finally be able to play with my friend and look forward to getting all caught up again.

I checked our other account that had the same error and it's working too. YEAH!

Anyway, just thought I'd update you all. If anyone is still getting the Shockwave movie error, let me know.

Is anyone else getting a message saying that the game requires a new version of Flash Player and directing you to Macromedia.com to download it? When I have tired to log in I have been getting that message and despite downloading the flash player it still comes up. Am I alone in this?

-EDIT-
I think I figured out what is wrong. In addition to the game not loading I am having problems accessing CNN.com and the TBS website. Since CN, CNN, and TBS are all Turner broadcasting owned stations I am guessing that Turner is having some major issues with their web servers.

All I have to say is finally!!! I can play again!!!

hi there! i've been getting the dreaded "shockwave error" since 17th of August... i know my shockwave works because I created another account and got in successfully. I read in an earlier thread that this had happened to someone else and was wondering what they did to resolve the issue? thanks!

Sparky · 08-23-2007, 03:24 PM

Its been a while, but wasn't there no way to "resolve" the shockwave error other than to just wait for the site admins to fix problems on their end?

montitech · 08-23-2007, 04:00 PM

some things that sometimes help with the shockwave error at login.

press F5 to refresh the page instead of logout or opening a new window

Try logining in under a different account, then try the broken account

try creating a new user account on your computer and logging into you broken BFAHP account through this new user account's internet explorer

disable virus detection and firewalls, close unused things in taskmanager, minimize the running services and processes, ect... ... ... ...

Just a couple things to add...

Empty all cache, temp files and what not.

And for me, I just had to wait until the next update, which fixed the error. I had 2 accounts that worked just fine and 2 accounts which wouldn't work at all, no matter what computer I used. It was the same Shockwave error, regardless of updating Shockwave or installing it brand new.

Sorry, but you may just have to tough it out until the next Update. I really hope that's not the case for you. Try all the things listed above. If you can get other accounts to work, and this certain account won't work, no matter what computer you use - it's the account, not the computer.

Good luck! Let us know what happens!
