FLASH: Re: flash screensavers

[Michael Tuminello]

Hi all-


I haven't been following the Flash screensaver discussion, but saw the last

message, and thought I would throw something out in case it hadn't been

mentioned.


Many people looking for cinemac type screensaver builders overlook the fact

that since Director (and Flash) projectors are just executibles, all you

really need is a gizmo to monitor downtime that knows what app to launch

after a certain period.  I worked on a screensaver a while ago for a big

corporate client and found my needs met quite satisfactorily by a couple of

inexpensive apps that do just that.  The Mac version is called Auto Launch,

or something like that, made by stclair software (www.stclairsoft.com, I

think - they make the great default folder as well).   The PC version was

called AnySaver, and I forget exactly who makes it.  Both developers were

super-helpful when it came to customizing their app, and AutoLaunch

actually developed into AutoLaunch Pro over the course of my project and a

similar one the developer was working on.


This is not to disparage the other screensaver-builders on the market, but

take a look at these.  They were both very affordable solutions.
