I don't think there's a Shockwave for Linux plugin. You can sign this petition tho.

use:

pacman -A  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/<my_package>

replace <my_package> by the name of the package.

This is were i built the package, however im seeing system folders being replicated within the directory i built the package. My question  is where is the proper directory to build the package and am I supposed to delete any uneeded folders or files afterwards?

You can build package in any directory.  I usually build them in my home directory.

When you build packages, makepkg creates two directory in the build directory (where the PKGBUILD file is): src and pkg.  The src directory is used to uncompress the sources and compile the applications.  The files to be include in the package are then copied in the pkg directory after which the package is created.  Both the src and pkg directories (in the build directory) can be deleted after the package is built.   The system folders  you are refering to are probably in the pkg directory.

I hope that it is clear enough.
