Shockwave is a slightly different beast which Adobe/Macromedia didn't release for Linux, only Windows/Mac. Most sites which use Flash use your common garden variety of flash (hence you can usually use the non-free Flash plugin or Gnash etc) but Shockwave isn't supported and is used occasionally, mainly for games and things. Habbo Hotel does work on Firefox under Wine by the way. You'd probably need to install the msttcorefonts package otherwise the fonts look a bit rough. Runs a bit slow but it works.
