Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye out for a copy of Screenweaver 3, too. Or take a look at the HX version, as it seems all development on 3 and 4 have stopped now. Good to know.

I found a nifty little tool which does just that... http://www.goldshell.com/flashforge/ It used to be shareware but now its freeware, loaded up my swf file and have now distributed it to a bunch of our customers and its gone down a storm. Not a bad little tool for making screensavers. Thanks for the info/feedback! Hehe I didn’t actually look at the date originally, trust google!! :)

I was confused by your post at first, but then I remembered... A lot has happened with the Screenweaver project since I posted this. Screenweaver OS (which provided, among other things, a simple-to-use wizard to create screensavers) has given way to Screenweaver HX, a much more powerful, up-to-date application-creation platform based on the Haxe programming language. To be honest, I haven't used the new version yet, and (correct me if I'm wrong, anybody) its description barely seems to fit that of the old Screenweaver. It does seem powerful and cool now, but... you're right: It no longer appears to be a matter of "import SWF/export screensaver." Anybody else got any input on this? Or know where to obtain a copy of the old Screenweaver 3? Yeaaah… I was confused by your post at first, but then I remembered…

As I'm a intermediate at best actionscripter, this was a whole new ball game to me. There doesn't appear to be any documentation on how to build a screensaver, so just how easy is it and would you mind sharing the knowledge with me as I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure it out hehe This whole thing has opened up a ton of learning to me though so thanks for that, I installed Haxe and everything else pretty easily. All I need to do currently is build a screensaver, just no clue where to start!! Thanks in advance.
