Keynote files Question...

[kathleen]

We discovered the shared activities resource.. there was a great "movie" on the solar system. Can that be edited, or is it a flip chart that was exported out as a self contained movie file...?

We are also trying to link to a Keynote file and are having no luck... we can link to movie files, image files, AppleWorks word processing files, but not Keynote. Any ideas?

Keynote and pages files both aren't really files. they're packages -kinda like an installer .pkg file. If you right click on a keynote file, you'll get the option to 'View package contents'. Inside you'll find a .gz compressed file and all the media contents of the presentation.
Dunno how to make the link work. I ran up on the same issue when trying to send a keynote presentation as an email attachment (you have to zip it first in order to send it as one file. If they're not a ton of animation, etc, you can export it as a PDF and import it into AS2. Crappy workaround if you've got movies and movement in the keynote though.
Thanks

Would it work to link and object in a flipchart to open a Keynote? Would that Keynote file just open? Would it be effective?
