That's nothing to do with Flash. When Windows executes a

screensaver, it passes /s as parameter. This causes the projector

to try to open /s as a URL.


I've wrote a simple program which will call another one. E.g. if

my proggie is called flash.src, it'll execute flash.exe. If it's

called whatever.src, it'll execute whatever.exe. That way you can

copy both, the projector and my program, into the system

directory. The filename of my proggie will be listed with the

other screensavers. If it is executed, it'll execute the Flash

projector without any parameters.
