Dumb question on scripting for Keynote

Hello, i’m a real novice in applescript, to say the least, but I need to make a script that will do the following:

Start a slideshow
Stop it at the end
Delay 1 second
Start from slide #1 again

My humble efforts have revolved around the below…:frowning: but although I can get it to start and stop, I can’t seem to get it to start from the beginning after a delay again!

I tried:

tell application “Keynote”
start slideshow
<HOW TO GET IT TO WAIT UNTIL THE SLIDESHOW IS FINISHED?>
delay 1
<HOW TO MAKE IT START AGAIN FROM THE SLIDESHOW’s beginning?>
end tell

Thanks, it would be a christmas present for an applescript-illiterate dummy! :slight_smile:

It’s not a dumb question, but reading the Keynote Manual just now, I note (and quickly set up) a kiosk presentation that does exactly what you seem to want to do entirely within Keynote. The settings are all in the Inspector.
