The game is missing files

I have Shockwave installed correctly and investigated why the games do not work. The reason is nothing to do with them being Shockwave files, as the Shockwave player is still available to install. Rather, these games seem to be missing additional required files. Each game required its own anim.dcr, splash.jpg and start.jpg files. These can be seen in Wayback Machine, but they weren't captured until 2011, at which point Noggin redirected to Nick Jr.

(sort by From date - notice how the colormate.dcr file was archived in 2004, but the rest of the relevant files were archived in 2011) https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.noggin.com/games/scribblevision/*

The user below who posted a screenshot from Director shows the game layout, but it won't actually function as intended without these important files.
