Center of pressure movement due to flaps

Hello folks,

Just about as simple as it gets:

On a fixed-wing aircraft, when flaps are deployed, the center of pressure moves fore or aft of its initial location with flaps retracted?

And why?

The question is geared toward asymmetric airfoils, but if you want to you can also answer about symmetric too.

Thanks!
