By the end of 2020 all mainstream browsers will drop support for Adobe Flash player. Historically Centrix relied on Flash Player for the components written using Apache Flex to run, this included the graphical replay component (playback) and the map designer. There are now replacements for these components written in modern web technologies. This page explains the compatibility between various components.
Sites with maps created in the Legacy Designer
Sites which have a map that was originally created using the legacy Flash Player based designer will be automatically migrated into the new format once the designer is opened. You can go ahead and make changes to the map and when you save the changes the map will be saved in the new format.
Compatibility Warning
Once you save a map in the new designer for a site you will no longer be able to access either the legacy playback or legacy designer for the site due to incompatible map formats. You must use the new playback and designer going forward for the site.
Access to the Legacy Designer
Access to the legacy Flash Player based designer is only available on sites which have not yet be edited in the new designer via the "Legacy Designer" button on the toolbar. Once a draft has been saved or committed for a site then access to the legacy designer is no longer possible due to incompatible map formats.
Access to Legacy Playback
Access to the legacy Flash Player based playback page is only available on sites which have not yet be edited in the new designer via the "Legacy Playback" button on the toolbar. If this button is not present on a site then the map has been edited in the new designer.
