OK, for those interested ADOBE is retiring ALL Flash Players and will ask you for them to remove them...say later
I am considering posting a few full Flash Player stand alone files so you can manually INSTALL after end of December 2020 CUT off,
I am waiting for Adobe to update their final after Microsoft do their mid month W10 updates in December.
No, I have no Idea if a manual Install will work or if MS will Auto remove it, one will probably have to turn off their annoying Windows Security, **** I hate their interference
it is getting beyond a joke all the bullshit Apps, does anyone use them or just for the Children? the updating of every 5 days is BS, Google are no better and I guess Apple are similar.
Anyway, the Wiring Diagram Tracing FEATURE on page 1 of this Thread Will not work without a flash player and I doubt Mazda will change the set up for us.
Not exactly sure on what Mazda Japan are doing without flash as their Dealer EPC is also flash based...will find out soon.
Probably Dealer portal only.
WILL know more next month, Dec, 2020.
BTW, ALL the links on page 1 still work, MEGA pop up is normal I suggest you use a CHROME Browser to Download Wiring FILES

Love my S2, but there's definitely some weirdness that I just know will be an issue. Heck, the radio display has the passenger airbag deactivated indicator in it and that's unobtanium and mine is on the fritz

OK....I updated my post #2 concerning the 2021 Adobe Flash Player EOL Blocking.
All explained and you must install a Browser Extension from a 3rd party to stop the Blocking of .swf files which have a Browser beginning.
I have check this Extension called RUFFLE and appears not to have any viruses and it does not Track you from my checking of it.
Install instructions in the .rar download from one of my Mega Accounts.
OR THERE IS A BETTER OPTION TO INSTALL ONLY 'A VERSION' OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER THAT WILL STILL WORK
PAST 2020 SEE END OF post #2
UPDATE AGAIN, WINDOWS AND GOOGLE ARE NOW BLOCKING AGAIN WITH USE OF .swf FILES, A ''DEBUB'' ADOBE FLASH-PLAYER
NOW WORKS WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION BUT THE USE OF HAS CHANGED, SEE post #2.

I've installed the Ruffle plugin in Edge, but I'm not having luck opening these files. If I understand correctly, I need to open the swf file directly in Edge, but if I do, it just adds it to downloads and the cycle continues. I'll use the Adobe Debugger if I have to as I'm pretty desperate to see these diagrams right now, but I'd rather be able to open it in my browser if possible.
On a side note, is there a way to extract the images from the files as something more compatible? Maybe with Debugger? I would do that and edit the html myself if it meant never having to worry about this crap again.

Just use The ADOBE Flash Player Debug ONLY, via each file in original download windows folder. (right click open/view).
Better than Ruffle Ext BS.
Yes it is all a bit messy but the best you will get apart from being a Mazda Dealer with Mazda portal access...good luck there.

Oh wow. I found a Linux version of the Adobe debugger and can actually see the schematics on my home computer. I thought I was going to have to look at it on my work computer. Thanks for staying on top of this. If I figure out a good way to convert these to GIFs or something, maybe printing them as PDFs first, I'm making a more compatible manual.
