Smart Builds questions: Loop possible? Clicking to end Smart Build?

I'm using latest KN (4.01) on a MPB 2.33. Building my first presentation to use at conference next week with this version. I put together a Smart Build with jpgs.In the Build pane.

1. Does anyone know if there is a way to loop a Smart Build? If so, I can't find nor figure it out.

2. I selected Build Out on Click. Yet neither mouse clicking (nor trackpad clicking nor arrow keys) seems to stop this Smart Build from playing and move to next build. Is this a glitch?

Thanks for any suggestions/help you might offer.

Robert, there isn't any direct way to loop a Smart Build -- your best bet may be to create a one-slide presentation with the Smart Build on it, then export that as a QuickTime, and put that movie in your main presentation, setting it to loop.

Also, there is no way I know of to abort a build, including a Smart Build, and move on to the next build on a slide -- you can use Shift-Down Arrow to move to the next slide when in the middle of a Smart Build, but you can't get to the next build on the slide.

By the way, there is now a specific forum for questions about the new Keynote '08 -- you are likely to get better results posting queries there than in the old Keynote forum.
