[Hopperxx] Mac says my projector needs Shockwave...

I have created a projector with Dir 11.5 for my Mac (High Sierra) and it 
plays OK on my Mac. By the way, I chose "Standard" as the type of 
projector, not "Shockwave".

When I copy the projector over to another machine and then copy it back 
to my Mac and try to run that version of the projector, the headache 
starts, don't it.

First, I had to solve the security issue, described here: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFpVqkyXFy4 . Macs have gotten 
outrageously paternalistic; you actually need to run a command line 
program and issue a command in it to allow execution of programs by 
"unknown developers". Seems like a grab to control the app space.

But even after I'd done that, when I tried to run my app, I was told 
that it required Shockwave. However, I had chosen "Standard" in the 
Publish options, not "Shockwave".

And then even after I installed Shockwave, and then tried to run my app 
again, I still got the message about Shockwave not having been installed.

Yeesh.

Anybody run into this problem?

Thanks,
ja
