Keynote hyperlink failure in iweb

I have created a flash file in keynote, then exported it to iweb .... all works fine; except for any hyperlinks that were created with the file. These seem to disappear when it gets exported into iweb. The only solution that I've found is to create an invisible box shape over the subject once it's been exported, and then enable that as a hyperlink. However this doesn't cause the arrow to change to a hand, which is what I want.
Any help out there?
Macbook using keynote08 and iweb08.

Duncan, the reason for the Hyperlink not appearing as such is beyond me, but the solution would be easy.
Just make a "click me to continue" notice somewhere on the page.
Many Flash intro's have these so why not yours?

  • Keynote hyperlinks don't work after exporting to html

    I'm working with Keynote in iWorks '08 on an iMac running OS 10.5.2. My hyperlinks (graphic and text) work perfectly running Keynote as a slide presentation, but not when I export it to an html format. What am I doing wrong here?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Jeff
    PS: The hyperlinks do work after exporting in flash or pdf format, but our webmaster says I can't use those formats due to compliance issues.

    I noticed this as well. What I realized is that Keynote seems to just export the slide as a .jpg with a an .html file referencing the .jpg image. So in essence it is not creating an .html file of the slides contents but rather a reference to a picture of the slide. I haven't tried but maybe "send to" iweb and then "publishing to folder" will give you what you need. Not sure.

  • Flash exported from Keynote and embeded in iWeb page not working in IE

    using the "html snippet" widget and swfobeject code generated here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard I placed a swf file generated by Keynote in an iWeb page.
    It seems to work fine except for folks using IE in Windows. They get to the first page, but the "Next" link doesn't work. My problem page address is here: http://shortpoem.org/readings/Selected_Poems.html
    Can anyone help me see what needs to change?
    This is the generated code (I also tried using the html generated by Keynote and had the same problem):
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
    This text will be replaced
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject('http://shortpoem.org/readings/SelectedPoemsfiles/thoughts.swf','mpl','800','600','8');
    so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
    so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
    so.addVariable('height','600');
    so.addVariable('width','800');
    so.addVariable('file','/upload/player.flv');
    so.write('player');
    </script>

    The code in your first post is not what you pasted in the Snippet.
    http://shortpoem.org/readings//SelectedPoems_files/widget0markup.html
    You simply exclude IE users.
    Have a look here for some inspiration:

    It's the nested object code you need.

  • Keynote, hyperlink to hidden slide problem

    I'm currently making a keynote that on one picture has a hyperlink to a slide. When the keynote is finished I don't want the presentation to show the slides that my hyperlinks are referring to. But if I try to hide the slide the hyperlink is linked to, the hyperlink is disabled. Suggestions?!

    Hi,
    You could try putting a couple of blank slides or a 'the end' slide immediately after your presentation and stopping the slideshow manually.

  • Hyperlink weirdness in iWeb 1.1.2

    I'm having a strange issue (well, at least I think it is) and am hoping someone might know what I'm doing wrong or why it won't work.
    On my main/home page, my background image is one jpeg consisting of 9 squares of art (3 across x 3 rows). Before, I had the entire background image as a hyperlink and that worked fine but it forced the viewing to only be able to click on one thing. What I wanted to do was make each individual square a link to go to one of the nine other pages. So, I made a box in the SHAPES tool, using no fill and no border and clicked enable as hyperlink and referred to the appropriate iWeb page. Sound good in theory... but when I publish the page, there are no links — none of the 9 boxes acts as a link at all and I can't figure it out!
    I initially thought that maybe the links were buried (behind the background jpeg) so I used the FORWARD button to make sure all the clear overlay boxes were on top of the background image and for good measure, I pushed the background image backward. But still no luck! Any thoughts or suggestions?
    One unrelated matter, when renaming a page or site in iWeb, when it's published the URL is full of '%20%' everywhere there's a space. Anyone know if this is corrected in iWeb '08 or '09???

    Yes, it's corrected. The following is from the iWeb '08 Help viewer:
    Browsers convert spaces in page names to “%20.” To avoid these symbols, iWeb places an underscore when the page name or site name includes a space.
    You should also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.

  • Keynote Hyperlinks on Website

    When I add hyperlinks to other Keynote pages they work fine in Keynote and on the exported Quicktime movie. However, when I then embed the Quicktime into a web page and upload it, the links are dead on the webpage. Any suggestions?

    I believe this is due to a security fix in QuickTime. Some scammers would make a QuickTime movie LOOK like a normal image but, as it "played", it would start opening up browser windows at certain points in the movie. All they'd have to do is create a few malicious sites, have that movie open those sites, and your Windows machine is infected before you even realize it!
    So, as a compromise, those links still work in QuickTime player, BUT they don't work when played in the browser anymore.

  • Multiple hyperlinks edit in iWeb - new window and format?

    Hello,
    I'd like to edit a selection of several hyperlinks in iWeb 3.04 but when selected, I am not able to check the "Open in new window" option or the options in the Format panel.
    Can this be done in iWeb 3.0.4?
    If not, any suggestions?
    Thank you

    any suggestions?
    One link at a time.

  • Hyperlinks to files iWeb 09

    I am trying to set up hyperlinks to pdf files on my computer using iWeb09.
    When I select the text for the hyperlink and go to the inspector and link to the file "application.pdf" the text on the web page changes to the file name. Is that what is supposed to happen? It's not what I want to happen.
    How do I link to 'application.pdf' without changing the text? I'm probably missing something simple here but I've looked at some of the tutorials etc. on the web and can't find what I'm looking for. I did not use iWeb 08 so don't know if this operation worked properly or not.

    In line with iWeb's policy of introducing simple drag and drop icons for widgets, most of the links on my latest site to PDFs and applications etc make use of icons.
    This avoids the issue of me having to think about the text link and my viewers straining their brains by having to read them!
    I wonder what all the empty spaces are for in the widgets section of the media slide out.
    Do you think that one day we may get something useful like a contact form?
    It didn't take me long to get over the thrill of being able to take photos of my myself grinning foolishly and have them appear instantly on my webpage courtesy of the iSight Photo widget.

  • Keynote hyperlink

    I am working on iphone presentation. Some of hyperlinks are broken or not working after export as PDF. why? and how do I fix it?

    Thanks Gary
    The goal is to create PDF with all working hyperlinks for mobile prototype presentation. Right now, hyperlinks are not working. Can it be fixed with Adobe Acrobat? If so, how?
    As an another option, if I purchase the mobile version of keynote, can I open the file from desktop keynote and play presentation in keynote app? Then, would all the hyperlinks work?

  • Can't select hyperlink box in iWeb  !!!

    I understand how to make a hyperlink in iWeb. I have read the directions a million times. When I have the Inspector open I am NOT able to check the box or enter a URL. I CAN check the "make all hyperlinks inactive" box...but I don't need that.
    Is there a reason that the "enable as a hyperlink" box is disabled?
    Using the iWeb that came on my MacBook Pro last March....so it's not the 08 version. Whatever came right before.

    I did... actually, the problem was solved by another post on in the forums. It said:
    go to the top, main image on the page (often a template image that the user may have changed by dragging and dropping their own pic into the frame) and cut it from the page (apple+c) and then reintroduce it (apple+v). Go and reselect the intended hyperlink object (text etc) and lo and behold the previously grayed out menus spring to life!!
    A very odd glitch, but thankfully an easy one to work around when you know how.

  • Keynote hyperlink to new file

    When a hyperlink is set to open a new file, is there a way to automatically close existing file when new one is opened?

    Welcome to the forums, ChrisEsch.
    Having no hands-off (or even cursorless) solution is a real problem. You might export just the music-laden presentation as a high-res full-screen QT movie, and embed that as a full-slide video on the first slide of the "second" presentation. Or, if the presentation will loop continuously, a better solution might be to export both the Keynote presentation and the soundtrack into iMovie, edit the video to the audio, and create a Quicktime movie.
    You might also be able to cobble something together in Applescript that automatically runs the second presentation when the first finishes, and keeps looping until stopped.
    As for the black between presentations, I'm not sure there's a good answer for that within Keynote, at least not one that isn't terribly cumbersome (such as running two copies of Keynote and switching between them again using Applescript). Again, exporting one of the presentations as a movie that runs on a single slide of the other would solve this.

  • Can keynote hyperlink to another program

    I'd like to use keynote to hyperlink to another program. According to the inspector I can only link to a quicktime movie, webpage, or another keynote file!
    Any ideas?

    Dear Tulse,
    Thanks for your reply. I don't think it's a matter of security, this isn't anything that involves networking or sensitive data- all I wanted Keynote to do is to open up, say, a Word or an AppleWorks/Inspiration file which could then be used to brainstorm > save > then back to the presentation.
    regards,
    There are probably good security-related reasons why
    Keynote doesn't do this. I'm also not clear what you
    would want Keynote to do with the launched
    application, since it can't actually communicate with
    it in any fashion, nor would it be easy for the
    launched app to return to the presentation when it
    was finished with whatever it was doing.
    With all this said, I think it would be hugely
    beneficial if Keynote could run AppleScripts when an
    object was clicked -- then it would much like
    HyperCard, and one could launch apps and communicate
    with them very easily. The security issues would
    still apply (for that matter, there'd be more of a
    risk), but I'm sure there would be a way around this
    issue.

  • Keynote hyperlink issue

    Having issues when using hyperlink function to link to another keynote file.  When hyperlink is clicked,  the linked file shows up for less than a second, then black screen is seen for approx 6 seconds.  After that both files are open on the screen and keynote is no longer in play mode.  Have never had this issue prior to updating to OSX.Kind of a bummer when giving a long presentation having to go mess with keynote 30 times instead of just clicking on the hyperllink....

    Hi,
    I've the same problem since 5.1 keynote. I needed to downgrade iWork to get back the full functionality.
    Apple, is there any bugfix? We wait for it!

  • Keynote hyperlinking

    I am crafting a rolling trivia presentation. I have a home slide that has hyperlinks to all of the categories of my trivia. Each category is a seperate keynote presentation that I advance through via the space bar. Is there a way to set up the category presentations, so that at the end, the final space bar stroke will hyperlink back to my categories page? Failing that, is there a better way for me to set up the Trivia while maitaining its ease of change?

    Hyperlinks need objects to hold the hyperlink and you need to click on the object to activate the link - this means that just using the spacebar won't work, you will have to click on the object.
    Try this: On the last slide in each subset Keynote file, create an object (a shape or image) - it can be invisible with no fill or border, and it can cover the entire slide if nothing else needs to be clicked on. Just be sure you know where the object is so you can click on it.
    With the object selected, assign a hyperlink back to the Home Slide.
    Note: Hyperlinks to other Keynote files can only link to the first slide of the file, so your use of a single Home Slide will work fine.

  • Hyperlinks work in iWeb app, but not up on web???

    I created navigation titles (just text boxes), and set them up as hyperlinks in iWeb. They are all working fine in iWeb.
    When I upload to the website they are all dead as doornails.
    Mmm. What could I possibly be doing wrong here? First time I've come across this.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Nothing is covering links, good suggestion ... all links clean and up forward.
    I've turned off the template menu links and created my own by making text boxes, writing in text, and then making active as hyperlinks.
    I've done this on two other sites that run just fine.
    I notice that I don't even have to upload to get problem. The problem occurs when I publish to a folder. Suddenly ALL hyperlinks are disactivated in the publishing process.
    I've trashed the prefs and started again. No luck. I made a page out of iPhoto and imported it into the file. No luck (someone in another Forum proposed this).
    All ears...
