Apparently it's not available for Linux.

Try installing Firefox in wine, then install the plugin in the firefox in wine.

But WINE doesn't work well with stuff like that.

Too bad. It's the only option, as far as I can see.

Try NoaHall's suggestion, install Firefox for Windows and then install Authorware. That's the way I use Shockwave, maybe it'll work with Authorware too.
