Making a Flash Screensaver... NOT just building an EXE

[QueBert]

I've been looking at different screensaver creators, and all of the decent ones I've seen. They simply take an existing SWF and compile it into a Screensaver. I'm interested in making a screensaver, but getting some of the cooler image effects accomplished in Flash MX is kind of tough for me. Anyone know of a program that will automate this process? I'm looking to buy Screenweaver to build the screensaver, but what would be best to make the actual content? I have a few dozen images and would like to find a proggy that can give me a wide array of effects to add to them, and also export so I can edit in Flash and add text and my own doings (if this is possible?)


anyone know of a program for that?

thanks

Hi, to create some cool effects with Text you should look at swish which is available at http://www.swishzone.com - there are other great apps which make image effects in your SWF without coding - take a look at the tools available at http://www.develotec.com/

Also, for compiling Screensavers, download a copy of Flash Studio PRO v2 - it does everything screenweaver can do, plus more! It's also cheaper too

ALso try SWiSHstudio for making your screen saver. And SWiSHpix for doing an album of images as a swf file (with animations etc). Both at www.swishzone.com
