Today, Apple posted an update to the Keynote presentation app (part of iWork '08). This update, version 4.0.3, says that it "addresses performance and stability issues when working with large documents."You can download this update by opening Software Update (Apple menu > Software update) or by downloading the installer package from the Apple support downloads site.
Please note: Users must have Keynote 4.0.2 installed on their computer to install this update.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

My MacBook also pulled down an iTunes 7.6.2 update, a Front Row update, and a QuickTime update. WOO HOO!

Flash in Keynote isn't likely to come back as Keynote's support for Flash in Keynote was by way of QuickTime, and QuickTime no longer supports Flash. If Keynote had a plugin architecture, then maybe, unfortunately, I don't see it coming back.

yeah, but does it fix the random shutdown syndrome on hitting play already?

So, I'm doomed never to play interactive flash presentations in keynote again. Any alternatives out there to do this? I just want to present some interactive projects without having to create the whole thing in flash. Doing it in keynote was awesome.

Some users have used iSwiff.

They run the presentation as normal, then when they get to the part of the presentation where they want to view a Flash file, they pause the presentation, run the file in iSwiff, then return.

Is this update affecting anybody else? Ever since I installed the update, I have had to restart my iMac twice. I never have to manually restart my iMac. It froze up really bad when I was switching spaces, and when I was using expose.
