Description spiff 2003-03-30 22:15:27 UTC 
Currently the flash export lets you click in order to go forward a slide.
However, there seems to be no way to go back a slide (tried page up, left arrow,
shift-click right-click). This functionality is necessary for presentations.

I can reproduce the bug.

Should be easy to also support some common keys, will look into it

The Macromedia Flash plugin allows you to right click on a flash
document and choose (from amongst other things)

...

---
Play
Loop
---
Rewind
Forward
Back
---

...

The functionality is there but is not exactly easy to use, certainly
an option to add standardised controls for this at the top of your
presentation would be nice.  

I have not got Flash MX but I have good reason to believe there is
some plan to make Flash more accessible and allow the use of the
Browser back button or suchlike (at least in part as a result of the
complain^H^H^Husability studies done by Jakob Nielsen, i can only find
his criticism of flash, 
but not the announcement I remember where he said Macromedia had
promised to make his proposed changes).   


It might be appropriate to add the keyword accessibility [but i dont
have the necessary privilidges]

MSC:
"According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap
(http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to
OOo Later."

Using right click and back from menu does not work with flash plugin (from
macromedia) for firefox under linux. Adding navigation buttons (using right
click -> animation on an object) to the presentation does not work either. I
wouldn't count too much on futur version of macromedia flash, since version 8 is
still not available for linux plateform.
Comment 10 Christophe Strobbe 2013-08-08 12:48:49 UTC 
I retested this with Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 on Windows 7. Going back a slide (right-click to open the context menu, then choose "Back") did not work in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox 22.0, Opera 12.15 or Google Chrome 28. 

Someone commented on the accessibility of Flash. Flash only exposes an accessibility API on Microsoft Windows. 

(Sidenote: why keep Flash export as a feature anyway?)
