Let $D$ be a 2-dimensional closed unit disk and $\rm{Symp}(D,0)_{\rm{rel}}$ the group of symplectomorphisms preserving the origin and the boundary $\partial D$ pointwise. We consider the $\mathbb{R}$-valued flux homomorphism on $\rm{Symp}(D,0)_{\rm{rel}}$ and define the central $\mathbb{R}$-extension called the $\mathbb{R}$-valued flux extension. We determine the Euler class of this extension and investigate the relation between the extension, the group $2$-cocycle defined by Ismagilov, Losik, and Michor, and the Calabi invariant of $D$.
