You are missing two plugins required to achieve your goal. Download Adobe Shockwave for Director and download Apple Quicktime You need the latter plugin to support Shockwave.

Similarly, you can watch youtube in HTML5 now instead of Flash. All you need to do is to sign up to the HTML5 trial by clicking the link at the foot of this page: HTML5 Trial Signup You don't have to fill in any forms.

But please check your plugins at Plugins Check site. Some of the others might be out of date.
