Using Keynote for Interactive Flash Content

Hi,
I'm creating an interactive E-Book using Keynote,
In Keynote '08 I could export to Flash, and that would not be able to export transitions but apart from that, worked OK,
But in Keynote '09 I can only export to Quicktime, which works fine using hyperlinks only ( therefore it's interactive ) so everything is OK. Only this quicktime file is 27mb big, and I want to convert it to flash, but using Quicktime Pro to convert it always takes away the interactivity of the E-Book, it becomes a self-playing movie file,
I want to know if there is any way to convert an Interactive Hyperlinks-Only Quicktime file, to an Interactive Flash file??
And if I create this quicktime file in Mac will it work the same in Quicktime for Windows?
(I am creating the E-Book for a windows user)
Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated,
thanks
Harry

Okay so how much of that $25 is Adobe making;
50% margin would suggest $16.67 per unit.
$699 is suggested retail price for the latest incarnation of Flash CS4.
What the "OEM Software" merchants are offering is a pre-Adobe version of Flash 8 Pro, in German, for Mac, that obviously very few people would want. If they had accepted PayPal, I would have bought it, but I was not willing to reveal to them my credit card.
So: +what alternatives do we have?+
There's a Mom & Pop outfit called "Vertical Moon" that offers a number of modest tools with free demos, notably [SWF'n Slide|http://www.verticalmoon.com/index.htm]. I do appreciate frugality when it comes to solving technical problems (as opposed to bloatware, like Microsoft and Adobe's). The latest news from the "moon" people is dated September 2008, so maybe their future is dim, but I've just looked at their documentation and find it well conceived and well crafted. I'll give them a try.
In the future, perhaps we shall see some Open Source project succeed, like [JSwiff|http://www.jswiff.com/index.jsp].
Then again, it is a fact that *Keynote 08* (version 3.0.2, in particular) does almost everything I ask it to, including export to ".swf", except it fails to export when I embed certain things like midi or QuickTime. It's a lot friendlier, I must say, than any PowerPoint editor I've encountered. Don't you love those yellow alignment guides that show up spontaneously when you move things around?
That thought opens the temptation to edit to heart's content with KN'08, export,
and then edit the swf xml file with a text editor,
and the auxiliary file structure with Mac OS Finder!

  • Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls.  After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url.  Need help.

    Hi
    Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

    Pallavi,
    Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
    The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

  • Is there a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content on all webpages ?

    I need a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content that's running regardless of the webpage the Flash content is runing on.
    If there isn't a way to do so now, please enable this as fast as you can in the next version of Flash.
    I've read somewhere that if there's no wmode setting on the page like opaque, transparent, direct or hw the flash content will run in wmode=window setting so it would be very easy to change that and force Flash to use wmode=direct instead.
    This could be done by adding wmode=direct line to mms.cfg or even add Force wmode=direct to Flash Settings, easy as that.
    I really don't wanna hear the arguments why force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content regardless of webpage is not indicated to do, just do it, I really need this wmode=direct feature to be always on simple as that.
    I know that on some webpages some content might run behind flash content by doing so but I really don't care cause I know what sites I'm using and what Flash content I'm runing so just enable it.
    Waiting for all websites to implement wmode=direct would take ages and I don't have time to waste instead I wanna enable this feature by now since I have seen what a big difference it makes by runing Flash accelerated instead of software decoding.

    You will not get what you need using stamps, especially if you ever want to use dynamic XFA forms.
    The digital signatures that were signed with a self-signed digital ID won't fully validate unless the user chooses to trust the corresponding digital certificate first. You should only trust a digital certificate if you trust its source. The problem is using self-signed IDs will be difficult to use on the scale you're talking about.
    Digital signatures are the best approach for your needs. They can provide both nonrepudiation of document origin as well as document integrity. You just have to figure out how to implement a solution you can afford.
    You agency can become its own certificate authority and issue certificates to its employees. You'd just have to find a way to implement and manage such a system.

  • I use Keynote for classroom presentations of historical images. As I show them in class, I identify

    I use Keynote for classroom presentations of historical images. As I show them in class, I identify & explain each image. Later I make the Keynotes available to the students through Dropbox. My question: how do I attach identifying labels to each image in Keynote so the students know what they are looking at?

    if its a blank presentation without text placeholders -  click on text tool and type then move text box if required
    there are preinstalled templates for text and photos - click on masters in tool bar and select

  • Using Alchemy for profiling Flash

    I'm new to Alchemy so I don't know if anyone has tried to use Alchemy for profiling Flash.  Essentially, I was thinking that a call to QueryPerformanceCounter would give us a much more accurate timer when compared to getTimer.  This would allow inline profiling of runtime functions without having to do 1000s of iterations just to overcome the 1 - 10 ms accuracy of getTimer.  QueryPerformanceCounter is OS specific but then it would only be used by developers.  Is this possible with Alchemy?  Has anyone already invented this wheel?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I haven't used the sampler API directly. I found this blog post which talks a little bit about the theory behind it:
    http://stopcoding.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/lets-talk-about-the-flex-profiler/
    Also, here is the AS code that Flash Builder uses to read data from the sampler API, and then send it via Socket connection back to the Flash Builder. It's a somewhat old version, but it's all I could find online. I don't know if it will be useful.

  • Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Unfortunately, this is not true either. For some reason, when you export to PDF, and open the PDF on a PC, it often says it cannot read the font and you get a PDF that looks like it's very sick.
    I'm not sure exactly how PDF works, but I don't know why it needs to be able to read a font correctly? I thought PDFs were readable on anything because it basically printed the document on a page, which is why you cannot edit it.

  • Examples of using lightbox to display Flash content (swf)?

    I want to use lightbox to display Flash video player.  I would like to have lightbox load a page that has SWFObject code for displaying the Flash content.  This page with the Flash content and SWFObject will have certain paramters and vars.  Does anyone know of an example or tutoral for doing this?
    Thanks!

    instead of using Lightbox, try using Fancy-Box:

    Look for the example called "Swf" under "Various Examples"  It's a text hyperlink demonstrating Flash with ActionScript 3.0

  • How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

    I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

    Not done, sorry.
    so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

  • SHould I use keynote for this?

    We will exhibit at the Frankfurt ProLight+Sound this year and the task of producing the picture slideshow with promotional material has fallen on to my desk.
    Plan is to have three plasma screens connected in to one giant screen so that images move from one screen to another, to the third, and so on.
    Should I use keynote to produce this? Or is it better to do something in iMovie/FCE/FCP? Or is Director the software to use?
    The other thing is that this will run either on a PC or off a DVD player and it has to be looped.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest using FCP because I don't think iMovie can show 3 pictures at the same time. FCP does cost a lot and is used by many to edit movies (Like any movie you would see in a theater). I wouldn't suggest buying it if your not going to use it a lot. Then use Keynote. Make the pictures move with each slide. Loop it and make it a QuickTime (.mov). Click 'Manual Advance' and change it to 'Fixed Timing'. Click 'None' and change it to 'Loop'. Check 'Enter full screen mode when opened'. Click on 'Full Quality, Large' and change it to 'CD-ROM Movie, Medium'. Check 'Include transparency'. That should make it easy to burn to CD/DVD and play back on a Windows Machine. On a VCR I have no idea.

  • Allowing Global Security Settings for Local Flash Content

    Hi all,
    We have developed one e-learning course for our client. This
    course will be deployed on the CD; that means it will run locally.
    This CD will be dstributed to thousands of users. In this scenario
    I am currently suffering from the Global Security Settings issue as
    this project uses Fscommand to communicate with the javascript. We
    can set the Global Security mannually but it is not feasible to ask
    client to mannaully set the Security Settings to "always" as there
    are thousands of users viewing this course locally.
    I have tried setting "always" value to allowScriptAccess
    property of the Object/embed tag in the html but it does not work
    where the browser Security Settings are kept as "High".(I think
    this is the reason)
    So what will be the workaround for this issue?
    Please reply me if you gone through this problem and found
    any workaround.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Popocatepelt,
    Glad to hear that worked for you….
    Local Access Only allows the published SWF file to interact
    with files on the local system, but not on the network. Access
    Network Only lets the published SWF file interact with files and
    resources on the network, but not on the local system.

  • Flash acceleration, doest it work for other flash content than video?

    Hi guys,
    I'm having issues with Flash using lots of CPU on Citrix servers. I've got 8 servers in one farm, almost all of then between dual-quad core intel CPUs. The problem is that various sites the users browse are flash based, not video related but with adverts of some other things and in the end the CPU is very busy with this.
    Does the hardware acceleration of flash apply to other things than video player?
    I need to resolve this issue as Flash is really hogging all the CPU so if a good ati/nvidia card can cope with the load, it would be fine, otherwise I thing flash will need to be removed from all citrix servers due to the poor coding.
    Regards,

  • Use Keynote for Website?

    I'm brand new to Keynote. Currently upgrading from 2.0.2 to 3. Is it possible to create a whole website in Keynote and upload it as your Website?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Welcome to the discussion forums, wit.
    Is it possible to create a whole website in Keynote and upload it as your Website?
    Possible, but not advisable. Some web-specific tool like iWeb or RapidWeaver would be a better choice, as these kind of applications have functionality specifically for creating websites. There are a variety of common features that many website have but that Keynote can't create (such as rollover graphics, or Javascript support). The HTML conversion is OK if you want someone to see a presentation on the web, but it really isn't designed for full-scale website production.
