I have thought about it. Some of the effects work but not all. The big problem however is Keynote produces hugh .swf file sizes. Much larger than Flash does for the same content. Plus you have to construct a progress bar outside of Keynote, otherwise your users will be looking at a blank page while your large .swf file loads.

You would be much better off posting in Quicktime or iPod format as an h264 or mp4 format.

I have used LiveType 2 for web banners with success. Both in Quicktime and converted to Flash using On 2 Flix Pro.

Cube transitions to flash will only work if you convert to QT then export back into flash and then export as .swf thus the process is moot. I have a list of the transitions that will export to flash from keynote..will PM when I find it. cheers celco
