View 1 Repliesi did a search on google to try to convert swf to scr but all i can find is software that you have to pay $40 for. Screensavers are silly little things so I'm not really interested in shelling out $40 for em. does anyone know of a free conversion tool or trick that you can do to get windows xp to play a screensaver from an swf file?

Is it possible to make a SWF into a screensaver for Windows 7? How about without the compiler tool?
View 1 RepliesI was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?

Looking specifically how to make a screensaver the plays a new animation(MC) on a each day during an 18 day cycle, then starts over again.
ive made a screensaver for work, and i was wondering if anyone could help, basically ive set it up with 2 scenes first scene u enter the details of a pc, memory processor hdd, etc, then on scene 2 with the help of a chatbox it sends the text from scene 1 over to scene 2, now my problem is everytime i switch the pc off, i then have to re-enter the data, is there any way of saving the data so when the movie is clicked on it comes up as a default with the data from the last input??? or can i save the text, and open it in the flash movie??
View 1 RepliesI have a very large projector movie with many loaded in swf files. I want to make it so as you are reading and viewing the whole movie the screensaver is not active. I then want it so after 10 minutes of no activity a screensaver (or movieclip in the movie) starts playing and then goes away when there is activity again. How do I do this? What would be the best way... just have the screensaver (movieclip) the only thing in the first scene and it just goes to this after 10 minutes?
View 18 RepliesI have been asked to create a screensaver that will show a different movie/message all week, then at the end of the week I would need to have it revert back and do the same all over.All 7 movies (one for each day of the week) will be located inside the SWF file, I just need to know if it's possible for the movies to change over with the computers time and date.
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to create a screensaver that dynamically loads images and text from a server, but it seems like I am not able to load anything outside of my own computer at all.It seems like the problem is coming from the Security Sandbox, the sandbox type for the screensaver stays "Local_with_file" meaning it can access local files but cannot access files from the network. What can I do to make the Sandbox "Local_with_network" as I do not need to load anything locally, but images and text from a server.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to imitate screensaver behavior using the timer class. A movie clip should play after 5 seconds of not being idle. The problem is everytime I go to the homepage, the timers stack and the adspace runs multiple times. (try switching between button 1 and 2 over and over) timer.reset(); doesn't seem to work for me. Here is my code and FLA file:

View 1 RepliesI'm basically looking to create a screensaver within the flash file i'm using. So if the person doesn't move the mouse for say a minute, actionscript will detect this and play a movie ( screensaver type one )It's within a digital application and the client wants a built in one rather than making a proper one.
View 4 RepliesI am currently trying to create a kind of 'screensaver' effect in one of my Flash movies, and I have the following code which counts down from ten to zero:
Code:
displayTime = 10;
countDown = function () {
displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0) {
trace("Time Out")
clearInterval(timer);
}};
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);
The problem I am having is finding the right code to use to RESET this countdown back to ten if the user moves the mouse, clicks a button, presses a keyboard button, etc.
Is there any way to disable a computer's screensaver when a flash program is running?
It's for a program that I run locally (converted .swf to .exe).
The program is also used on other computers so changing stuff in the registry or something like that isn't really what I'm looking for.
I tryed changing mouseX but it's read-only..
I am making a fullscreen "screensaver" project (using screentime, FYI). I have some mcs on the stage that I want to scoot down to the bottom left, right or whatever on the screen. I want these elements to position themselves differently based on the users resolution and aspect ratio of their monitor. (for example: whether the monitor is 800x600, 4:3 OR 1366x768, 16:9, I want a text field or mc to be 10 pixels for the bottom and left of the screen).
View 1 RepliesPlease provide the feature to disable the system screensaver & power saving features while a video object is currently playing a video. I get this request all the time when developing video players and now that the netflix player provides this feature it is becoming a must have in the online video market. If you know other solution which does not require .net, silverlight , or any other browser plugin besides flash please let me know.
View 1 RepliesI have noticed that mi screensaver doesn't start while I'm watching videos on YouTube.I'm using Windows 7.This is the test:Set Windows screensaver to 1 minute.Browse to YouTube and play a video longer than 1 minute; ideally much longer.Note that your screensaver doesn't come up after the specified time (1 minute).I've tested using Firefox, Chrome and IE8. My Flash Player version is 10.3. (Youtube is using flash to play the videos). The same happens whether I watch the video in full-screen or not.

How to convert a movieclip in the FLA into an AS3 code?
I have read an article posted here for Flash CS3 and it seems promising.[URL]
However, I can't find the function "Copy Motion as ActionScript 3.0" inside the Flash CS4 menu.
I have... ~1300 "Drawing Objects" (read: Shape) sitting on the stage that were Paths in Illustrator and were pasted in as part of one cohesive image. I need to be able to access all of them via ActionScript, but as with my post on the AS side of this problem, they are all stuffed into a single Shape and not accessible independently.

basically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

I'm just a beginner and I wanted to know if it is possible to change a textfield into a movieclip, and how could I do this.

View 1 RepliesI have an xml document that I would like to use to show MovieClips in my .fla:
<linkedMovieClip>TestClip</linkedMovieClip>
In my .fla, I created a symbol called TestClip and select Linkage > Export for Actionscript and named it TestClip.
My code in my Document class traces the xml:
var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linkedMovieClip)) as Class;
var linked:MovieClip = new t();
trace("linked is..."+ linked); // outputs [Object TestClip];
[Code]....
However, I am still getting an error message. When I check the debugger it's from this line:
var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linkedMovieClip)) as Class;
Is there any way to convert a movieclip to an image like jpg/png etc?
