Click on an animating object

Hi All,

As a level of interactivity I added a link to a ball in a presentation. Clicking navigates to a selected slide which contains information about the ball. However I have the ball animating/moving from one side of the slide to the other and would like the viewer of the presentation to be able to click on the ball during its movement (17 seconds). It doesn't appear to work while the ball is moving. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Cheers

Keynote plays an animation to completion, before any other event can action, such as a mouse click.

So what you want to do can't be done in Keynote.

The closest workaround would be to press the F key on the keyboard to freeze the presentation, then press F again to restart.

There is no mouse click that can do this however.
