I think it is a feature not a bug.
The advantage to use .swf because it has DVD quality movie with small 
size. That means narrow banwidth can play long and high quality movie and 
it is the best way to win banwidth problem using powerful pc to play it.

I choose .swf instead of using .mpg because to produce 5 minutes high 
quality .mpg movie can eat 200 MB bandwidth but in .swf will eat only 2 MB 
banwidth with higher quality movie that student can learn it effectively.
