If you need to disable the version check server side in the HTML container and 
if you have some background in HTML here?s a quick hack that might work 
although I haven?t personally tried it myself:

 1. In a scratch folder create a blank Director file with the same stage size 
as the legacy dcr. If you?re not sure about the stage size get the info from 
the <object> and/or <embed> tags in the original HTML container.

 2. Under the publish settings check HTML, click the shockwave tab and lower 
the requirement to the approved version, then click the HTML tab and select a 
template that does not perform a version check ? I think the default shockwave 
template will work. Then click publish.

 3. Copy the HTML container from step 2 into the same folder as the live DCR 
and check to see if updates are still requested. You might have to tweak some 
of the paths in the HTML to make sure everything points where it should.

 If step 3 works you have two choices, copy the non-shockwave HTML content from 
the original to the new container, or copy the <object><embed> block from the 
new container and paste it into the original HTML. If you take the second 
option make sure there are no VBscripts that might also force a plug-in update.
