I think what you need here is to use the FSCommand AutoScale False along
with FSCommand FullScreen True. The FullScreen command will cause your
Flash movie to cover the entire screen. The AutoScale False will display
your graphics at 100% scale.

I think Greg might have a good point about keeping it simple with
it all in one movie.

If you make your screen saver with ScreenTime for Flash then you can
allow user interaction with the mouse, keyboard, or both, your choice.
Try it out for yourself: http://www.screentime.com
