Flash > Screensaver (3rd Party Software Suggestions)



I was wondering if anyone could recommend a software that will turn a Flash movie into a Screensaver.

Also if the third party software creates an installer.

I am interested in knowing the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Thank in advance!

I Need Software To Convert Mac .swf To PC. Scr Screensaver - Any Ideas Please
Hi, this is my first post so hope I don't break any rules!

I work on Flash 5 on a Mac and need to send my client a .scr for Windows/PC. I have been trying to work out how to convert the .swf file.

I Googled this and Zinc 2.5 seemed to be the answer but after downloading the trial version for Mac found it doesn't support Windows so I downloaded the Windows version with Mac add on (to a borrowed Windows laptop) as suggested by support and that only allows .exe conversion. After asking their support they said it couldn't be done currently (full answer at the bottom in case I read it wrong and for those interested).

In order to try and solve this I have now downloaded a Flash 8 trial version since I was planning to upgrade anyway. I haven't had much time to look at it yet though!

I also tried ScreenTime on recommendation of a friend and that didn't display certain elements of the animation and wouldn't export to PC.

I have spent 2 days trying to find an answer for this and am sure it can be done but just don't know what application I need. hope someone can help please.

Zinc support answer
"unfortunately we cannot provide Mac OSX ZINC IDE which could also export fully capable Windows based applications which offers the same level of funcitonality that is available for applications created on Windows with ZINC IDE for Windows - that is related to the fact that we are using libraries which are not portable to Mac OSX from Windows (part of core Windows API libraries which are available for any application build and run on Windows os and which not become members of compiled application but are used at runtime as core Windows api),
We are under the process of porting the same functionality to Mac OSX version using libraries which are not core part of Windows OS but use exacty the same functionality - which is unfortunately long process,
We have been requested for OSX version of IDE that would be also capable to export fully featured Windows ZINC applications and that is something we are working on,

That means that until we release OSX version of our tool that can create OSX and/or Windows application at the same time Mac OSX users have to have another ZINC IDE for Windows installed on Windows PC machine to be able to create Windows applications,
However authoring development process can be entirely made on single OS using Flash IDE - excluding runtime check on windows or OSX os of ZINC compiled application,"

3rd Party Flash Streaming Service?
Im looking for a 3rd party service which will allow me to remotely stream high quality video (and audio), which I can embed into a website. The video has to be private, so the only way you can view the stream is if you are viewing it from the site that has the coded embedded into it. Free or paid services are fine.

Its going to be used for cams, where people have to have a valid membership to a site in order to view it.

Can anyone suggest something like this?

Supplying Flash Adverts For 3rd Party Sites
I've been asked to create some ads to go on a site that specifies "Advertising requiring the use of plug-ins like Flash and Shockwave must utilize "sniffer" code to detect if the user has the required plug-in and display an alternate image if the user does not have it. ".

How do I do this? Are they expecting me to supply the HTML/Javascript that loads either my .swf or a JPEG? I would have expected the host site to have a site-wide function to handle that. What is the normal way of doing this?

Live Flash Streaming For 3rd Party Programme
Hi

I want to use a programme called Wirecast to produce a series of webcast television. My problem is that I want to stream h.264 as flash as it is the most ubiquitous platform on the web, and delivers the content in the quality that I desire.

The makers of Wirecast ( Vara Software) at present are only able to give me the option of the streaming in Real player. This is apparently because Adobe won't allow them to include the code to stream flash.

I know that I am not alone in the frustration this causes, and in fact I have held off purchasing the software package until it has the flash capability, even if that version were to have a premium added.

Could someone at Adobe please help me, is it possible that you could license your product to them?

Thank you in advance

Third Party Newsletter Service - Is There A Flash/Actionscript Solution?
Hello,

I'm looking for some advice or help. I work with a customer who really needs to have a flash/actionscript frontend for their subscription form but are using a subscription service to collect and process their mailing lists and need to do so for legal reasons.

Here is the code for a very basic version of the what we have to work with in html


Code:
<!-- START CODE -->
<FORM ACTION="http://theserviceused.com/ex/manage/subscriberprefs.aspx" METHOD="POST">
<FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="arial, helvetica">
<STRONG>Register for email updates</STRONG>
</FONT>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="email" />
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="customerid" value="000000" />
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" value="Sign up" style="background-color:white;color:green;font-weight:bold" />
</FORM>
<!-- END CODE -->
Is it possible to create a flash frontend with this information alone? I cannot get access to the subscriberprefs.aspx file, and I doubt that I ever will. The Flash version I have is Flash 8.

Open-source/3rd-Party Flash/flex Tools
To all and sundry,

First off can some one please provide a list of 3rd party /open-source tools that reasonably emulates the Flash 9 authoring environment and secondly are there any tools out there that can convert from SVG format to Flash 9 (AVM2) native vector format...

I've checked out a few things online at Open Source Flash including SVG2SWF converters but conversion is typically restricted to Flash 8 and below...

Thanks in advance to anyone you can supply any help...

Third Party Tool To Show Or Hide Panels In Flash

Panels like the actions or the timeline one could be hidden, and if

also worked with Photoshop (i think).

I'm looking for it, I had it installed on my old computer, and I recently
changed to a new one, but sadly I don't remember the name of that
program.

Launching 3rd Party Apps From Flash While In Full Screen Mode
I was told that there is a script(s) that can be used to Launch 3rd party (ppt, pdf, etc) apps from Flash while in full screen mode. When the the 3rd party app launches, Flash window is reduced and after working with the 3rd paty app like saving a PDF document and when clicking on Flash app window it resumes to Full screen mode. Can some one point me to this screen.

FYI: if in full screen mode in a Flash app for CD-ROM, and if you try to launch a pdf document, it is launched in the background on then PC and in foreground on the Mac. Currently we use Director to control save frile from CD-ROM but sometimes it is a pain. Help will be much appreciated.

Flash Screensaver
Does anyone know how to reliably launch a website from a Flash screensaver on both Mac and PC?

I Want A Win Screensaver In Flash
Howdy,

The story so far, I’ve created a logo for myself and converted it into a font, I’ve then gone into my desktop properties (Win2000) and selected the flying text screensaver then selected my logo font as the text and I’m now seeing my logo being thrown about all over the screen as a screensaver.

I like this effect so much I want to have it on my web site, so the question is can I get this effect in Flash using AS instead of having loads of tweens? I want it to rotate, spin, see saw and bounce off the sides..now the only thing is that I will have to create the logo in a 3d prog then import into Flash.

Any ideas? If you have windows then select the flying text screensaver and that will give an idea of what I’m looking for.

Many thanks

Flash As Screensaver?
Is it possible to get some software that will make a swf file into a screensaver, or use the flashplayer itself as a screensaver.

I need to create a flash file inbto a screensaver that can be distributed to other peoples computers not just work on mine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Flash As A Screensaver
I just made a flash movie and I am wondering if there is a way to set it as my screensaver? Should it be an movie? Or Flash? Exe? Then i don't know where to put it.

Thanks!

Flash Screensaver
I have a flash exe that has been converted to be a screensaver. When the screensaver is active, a user can click a button to increment a number (this tracks the amount of cigarettes they have smoked in a day)

However, each time the screensaver comes back the counter is set back to zero - it won't retain the number from the previous time it was on.

Although I realise it would be set back to zero if the machine is rebooted, is there anyway to maintain the counter while the machine is on i.e. throughout the day.

Thanks

Screensaver In Flash
Hi

In my web application, I need to provide the users with the screensaver. If the screensaver is a common file, then there will not be a problem.

But the problem is, the users are allowed to upload images in the site, for which a a swf will be played with random animation ( or the animation they select)

Please find below the operations that has to be done
Eg. The member is allowed to upload the images and they can also select the list of animations from a dropdown list. when they click "next", they will see the image uploaded with the selected animation. In the next page, they can download the same as a screensaver.

Please let me know, whether any tool is available to convert the SWF to screensaver dynamicaaly in a web itself. I knew that there are lot of tools available to convert the swf file to screensaver. But that all will work offline as a desktop application for which we need to give the swf as input. But in my case, everything has to be done dynamically..

Any solution for this ?

Flash To Screensaver
