ScreenSaver Win

[Marcantonio Magnarapa]

Hi,


	with regard to the ScreenSaver question, it is to note that any program

(that is, any executable file) can be used as a screensaver in Windows95.

The .scr extension of screensaver files hides a very normal .exe that

accepts a few command line parameters.


	There is an incredibly easy way of incorporating a .swf file in a

screensaver, though it's a dirty way and it works only on ms-ie powered

systems: create a new form in visual basic, add a "browser" object (that

is, as many of you know, an instance of Microsoft Internet Explorer). In

the Form_Load event, maximize everything so that the screen is fully

covered, and let the browser window navigate to your .swf file. You could

even let the user configure which .swf file to play.


	That's it! You're done.


Bye!

Marcantonio
