SWF file generated with LibreOffice Impress

Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a slideshow
2. Add some slides with various transitions
3. Set slides to automatically advance after a few seconds
4. Export slideshow to Macromedia Shockwave Flash (SWF) format
5. Open SWF file in Firefox
6. Notice, the slideshow doesn't advance unless a slide is clicked.  Also, notice the transitions are gone.

Current behavior:
The slideshow doesn't automatically progress and the transitions are gone.

Expected behavior:
The slideshow should automatically progress and the transitions should remain intact.

Could you attach the original Impress document to allow others to check export on different system/build?

I can confirm reproducible on LO 4.0.4.1 (Win7 32bit), same behavior as comment 0 using IE 9 or Chrome 26
Comment 5 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2013-06-04 07:03:50 UTC 
Yes, this is a missing feature in the flash exporter, thus setting this to 'enhancement'. There is, though, an experimental svg export that has effects and transitions working, for that you currently have to enable our 'experimental features' in Tools->Options->General->Advanced.
Comment 6 Tom Williams 2013-06-04 13:22:26 UTC 
Thanks for the info on the SVG export experimental feature.  I'll give that a try.  :)

Since Flash is almost dead now, would it be prudent to just close this bug report as a "Won't Fix"?

Thanks!

Peace...
