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

[Jim Andrews]

Hi Roy,

In High Sierra, the "Anywhere" option in your below screenshot is 
invisible. The youtube video I referred to is how to make it reappear 
via issuing a Terminal command. Which, of course, is not something one 
could reasonably ask of customers. So thanks, I'll see if I can 'sign' 
the projector with the tutorial you kindly supplied. I have signed 
Phonegap apps for the iTunes store and the Google Play store, so that's 
probably similar (a pain too).

Hopefully signing it will make the Shockwave error go away but I doubt 
it. Perhaps it is another case of an Xtra not having been included that 
should have been, which I can fix via the Modify>Movie>Xtras command.
