Blame the author of your Flash movie. Flash isn't presentational
software; it's rich interactive media. Non-linear stuff - presentations
tend to be linear. Last week in finished up a short pseudo presentation
(heavy animation and videos in it) which had forward, back and menu
buttons in it. It's easy to do. gotoAndPlay and loadMovie() are your
friends :)
BTW, with Flash 8 & Flex the browser forward/back buttons work within a
Flash movie just fine. It more to do with how a project is authored -
and just like a bad web site a bad Flash movie can really suck for the
end user to use.
