Growing lines in Keynote 09

hi,
I like to connect two items with a growing line or with a line that change its color from one side to the other.
How can it be done?
Thanks and greetings
Eva

If "wipe" build won't meet your needs you can also use a "scale action" to accomplish this.
Another way to have a gradient line, if keynote doesn't have enough flexibility is to create it in photoshops and import it

How is the best way to make a curved line in keynote?

I have the new version of keynote but using the "curved line" in 'shapes' is not easy to make a symmetrical curved line. Can you suggest other simple ways to accomplish this?

Take the Draw a Shape tool and click in two spots. Press escape to stop drawing. Click one of the points, it will snap to horizontal. Now, take that line and move it towards the middle of the slide. It will snap to the center. Now, select the line so that it's in draw mode (points on either end are red), hold down option, and click the middle of the line to add a point. Double-click the point to make it a curved point. Hold down option and drag the curve handles (to make then equal length on both sides) then press Shift to make it snap to horizontal again.
Now, all you need to do is click the curve points while holding down shift and option to lengthen and shorten the curve points. Clicking directly on the point and moving it up and down (it should still snap to the guide line) and controlling the curve should give you a lot of flexibility. Will this do it for you?

White Lines in Keynote 3

When I add a music file to a Keynote 3 presentation, white lines appear in the slide while in the play mode only. It also appears when making a DVD or Quicktime movie of the presentatiion.
The lines do not show up while working on the slides or when the presentation is exported to powerpoint.
Any suggestions?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I wish I had a 10.3.9 machine to check, but, since your video card should definitely be up to the task, I think it's probably going to be that Keynote's having a unique problem with your setup. In Keynote, under the Keynote menu, choose "Provide User Feedback" and send your problem to Apple. It could be that it may not have been reported yet.

Colroing lines in Keynote

I know this seems extremely trivial, but has anyone had difficulty in changing the color of lines and shapes in Keynote?
I'm not a novice at this (I have extensive experience with Powerpoint), but this is making me a little crazy. I've followed the directions in the Keynote guide, but no dice.
I can change the fill color, but not the line color.
Weird, eh?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jose Jones

What kind of imported shapes? If they are EPS or PDF, no, these can't be stroked. However, if these kind of shapes are converted to SVG format using an illustration app (such as Illustrator, or Intaglio, or the free Inkscape, you can then use the excellent svg2key utility to convert them into proper iWork shapes, which will allow stroking, filling, and all other native object effects.

Strange "Line" on keynote charts

I have just opened an existing presentation in Keynote V6 and most of the charts have a thin "ghost" line appearing below the underline that I use beneath my slide titles. The line is not selectable on the main chart - and if I switch to editing the master it does not even show.
It is almost as if it is on some kind of background - but I cannot see how one would locate/edit that.
Anyone got any ideas as to what this is and how I might remove it?
Keynote version is 6.2.2

If it wasn't for the fact that I have the pdf file that includes the mystery line I could be convinced that I'm going crazy!
Decided to produce a one page version of the presentation and take a look at the underlying XML to see if I could find it that way.
Opened the presentation - no more mystery line! It had survived several save/reopen sequences - but this time it is gone!
I'll leave this thread open for a time to see if it reappears - but for now my immediate problem is gone!

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.

Growing chart line, Flash CS4

Hello,
I want to make a growing line. Therefore I have an object without outlines that is angled like a stock exchange chart line. The object is imported (copy paste) from Illustrator.
I tried with shape tween with the same object form (not the same object) but different colour gradient (blue/white to solid blue). But this didn't do the trick. Looks more like changing the alpha value.
I want something like this (Last animation, yellow line).:
http://www.dundas.com/Components/Products/chart/NET/Why/WhitePapers/Animation.aspx
How can I realise this with flash? Is there a tutorial?
P.S.: I don't get the forum search. How can I search through just the flash forum?
Thanks,
Slodomir

Thanks for the answer.
The Problem is that I have multiple lines which overlay themselves.
I tried this:
I created two layers. In both I pasted the line. The line above is white, the one below is blue. But I can't manage to shorten the white line by cutting parts off. I just can compress the whole white object. Is there a function for trimming an object?

Why does it come out as a line instead of a moving ball?

I wish to have a moving ball, but got a growing line, anybody can let me know how to solve it?
Thanks

            catch(InterruptedException e)
            {e.getMessage();}
            move();
}

OK, were you trying to use drawRect() to erase the ball? That won't work since the new ball might not be in the same rectangle as the old one. Try this:public void paint(Graphics g)
    // Erase old ball
    // Note: bkgdColor should have already been set
    // to your background color (probably white)
    g.setColor(bkgdColor);
    g.fillOval(ballOldPosX, ballOldPosY, ballW, ballH);
    // Draw new ball
    // Note: fgndColor should have already been set
    // to your foreground color (probably black)
    g.setColor(fgndColor);
    g.fillOval(ballPosX, ballPosY, ballW, ballH);
    g.dispose();
}

Keynote to Iweb

I'm new to Keynote, so please be nice with me
I want to create a sitemap (like this one: http://www.apple.com/sitemap/) into my website created with Iweb 09.
I would love to make it a little interactive like a Keynote presentation, something simple not to fancy; may be some appearing texts and of course each line in Keynote will have a link to each of my webpages.
Is it possible to create this in Keynote? If yes, will it be possible to put it in Iweb and publish it?
It might be to difficult, but I'm looking for an opinion.
Thanks
Thierry

created a sitemap the old fashion way: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Sitemap.html

Table editing causes Keynote '09 to crash

Hello folks,
I have experienced on a regular basis crash of Keynote whenever I try to add or edit a table. This happens both with already existing files and working on presentations created by scratch.
The crash consists in the appearance of a warning message (I have the Italian version of Keynote, I have not idea of the message in English), that informs me that an error occurred in Keynote and that I must close the application and re-open it. Even if I do exactly this, when I try to re-launch the application, a new warning message appears. In this case, I have the possibility to quit, retry or send a report to Apple. If I retry, the application starts loading the default settings (English language). To get the Italian language to work, I have to delete the file "com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist" in the folder \Library\Preferences.
I have already installed the most recent upgrade (iWork09Update2.dmg), but this does not solve the problem.
Did anyone has noticed something of similar?
Sorry for my poor English.

Hello, I think I have solved the problem by upgrading to OS X 10.5.7 (Leopard).
After having completed the update process (including additional on-line updates), Keynote seems to run smoothly.

Drawing Curved Lines

Hi,
Does anyone know how to draw curved lines in Keynote '08. It seems one can do custom shapes but not lines.
Kind regards,

The difference between a line and a shape, in this sense, is whether or not it's filled. In most themes, when you're finished drawing the line, it gets filled with the default fill. Change that Fill to None, and it's just the line.
Another thing, even though it says "Draw a Shape", if you press "Esc" at any time while drawing, your endpoints will be left where they are, no need to connect back to the start point to create a closed shape.

Keynote 3 outline

Keynote 3 outlines (which I use as handouts) come out in 1.75 inch column and in tiny print! How do I back to the 6" wide lines (as Keynote 2 created) that can be read by normal human eyes?

Are you sure that TextEdit was used to create the initial outline? I know you can do this with OmniOutliner, but the TextEdit angle is news to me.
I just checked the Lynda.com website and saw a tuturial about using text, and it specified OmniOutliner to augment text input. I saw no mention of TextEdit among the tutorial titles.

Coding an organization chart

i have been asked to create an organization chart like structure which can be modified dynamically. can any one help on this.

Keynote does not have the same kind of tools to do this as PowerPoint. There are "connection lines" in Keynote which will move with an object, but that's about it. You might look at some other tool to do org charts, such as OmniGraffle.

Animating graph in motion 2
