Adobe Flash EOL effects on WebAccess

[sfcltadm]

First post. Please be kind.
Major announcement but long time coming that Adobe (Shockwave) Flash will be end-of-life permanently in December 2020. All web browsers have removed it from default codebase.

WebAccess here has SWFObject.js coded to embed Flash probably for some animation like the spinning pinwheel.

Will there be an upgrade or patch?

what model device?

Linkstation 200 series.

I'm not sure of the state of development for that model (or any model really) but they have released fixes to the FW on that device recently and I've even seen them on store shelves recently.

Maybe someone from Buffalo will chime in about whether they intend to to remove that.

Does some functionality actually break if you access it without flash enabled? I'd imagine we'd hear about it since I think most browsers have had flash disabled by default for a while now.

Well, there is some Flash replacement code in many browser versions but current versions don't seem to be too affected. I am currently using Gecko v78.5.0 (Firefox/Waterfox) and Webkit 87.0.4280.66 (Google Chrome/Chromium) with no Flash plug-in and seems to be working fine.

Front-facing code is in the Lightbox section which is for popup containers:

Code Select Expand

sounds like they've already dealt with it.
