Broken Flash Interactive Animations and Layered Earth on OSX

    Follow

    The Problem:

    On OSX, the Interactive Animations in Layered Earth have been broken.

     

    What happened?

    Adobe's most recent update of Adobe Flash Player (11.8.800.94) for OSX has broken certain aspects of Layered Earth Interactive Animations.  Our developers are aware of this priority issue and are working very hard to repair the Interactive Animations as quickly as possible.

    Old/Temporary Solution: 

    Note: this is no longer required.  See the new solution above.  Contact support and request version 1.2.1.

    We recommend uninstalling Flash Player (11.8.800.94) and reinstalling a prior compatible version, specifically (10.3.183.90).

    First:  Uninstall Flash Player (11.8.800.94).  

    Go to the Adobe website and follow the un-installing directions provided:

    Second:  Install Flash Player (10.3.183.90).

    The Interactive Animations will now work on Layered Earth.

     

    Important!!  Do not allow the OSX Software Updater to update Adobe Flash Player until the Layered Earth developers have released an official fix for this issue.

     

    Please submit a ticket request for assistance in order to be notified by email immediately upon the release of the fix for this issue.  Please put "OSX Interactive Animations" in the Description field of the ticket.
