You can access the playing property with just tell app "Keynote" to playing:

tell application "Keynote"
    open "/tmp/temp.key"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keynote"
    click button "Play" of tool bar 1 of window 1
end tell
tell application "Keynote"
    repeat while playing
        delay 1
        say "a"
    end repeat
end tell
say "b"

  • `repeat 3 times tell application "Keynote" open "/Users/bla/Desktop/1.key" end tell tell application "Keynote" delay 3 repeat while playing delay 1 end repeat end tell tell application "Keynote" to quit delay 1 tell application "Keynote" open "/Users/bla/Desktop/2.key" end tell tell application "Keynote" delay 3 repeat while playing delay 1 end repeat end tell tell application "Keynote" to quit delay 1 end repeat` – Marco Klein May 22 '13 at 15:21
