Trevor,

I see where I have more to learn. I don't have much experience with XML and am just starting research it.

So I am trying to undue what Keynote did even though that is the best way to go. HHMM seems like swimming against the current.

Thanks again,

Tom

That brings up another question: If I use the .png files and write generic code to handle the loading of images from a folder then I might be able to gain a bit more control over individual slides i.e. if a slide has 'links' on it I can stop there and allow the user to click on a clear button. I know we can mark a card but is there a simple way to mark an image???

Hmmm, the way I usually do this is to use QuickTime sprites to add the interactivity to the image and load it into a player but that obviously won't work here :) This is nice since the interactivity becomes part of the movie you create from the still image.


One way is to create some XML markup that represented your presentation. You could then load that into Revolution which would dynamically create the presentation based on the XML. Then you are just creating a shell to parse the XML and present everything. Within the XML you could have coordinates which define an interactive region. It might take a little longer to design at first but it would be very useful moving forward. You could even create a Revolution app that let you create the XML file and define the interactive regions.
