Upgrade to Flash 20 dated 12/28/15 causes Xcelsius 2008 to fail

I have used Xcelsius 2008 since, well, 2008, and it was working fine yesterday with Adobe Flash 20 released 12/11/15 (20.0.0.228).

My browsers (Firefox and IE) demanded that I upgrade to the new version dated 12/28/15 to fix security vulnerabilities.

Now when I start Xcelsius 2008 all the of the file functions are grayed out, so I cannot open any files or update them.The new version of Flash seems to have crippled Xcelsius 2008 which uses both Flash and AIR.

When I do the same thing on my backup system it works fine because that is still on Flash 20.0.0.228.

I use Xcelsius 2008 every day for several hours and I am now out of action. Can anyone advise how I can get hold of the old version of Flash and re-install it?

Thanks

    For anyone else in the same position, you have to completely uninstall Flash Player (using Control Panel uninstall will not be sufficient). Then get hold of an archived copy of Flash Player 20.0.0.228 and install that version.

    This fixed my problem with Xcelsius 2008.

    There is something very wrong with Flash Player 20.0.0.267 which renders Xcelsius 2008 completely unusable.
