Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

I had asked if it was possible. But was not sure myself.
For his project, he just needs the .saver file to be 64 bit to work on  
10.6+


I thought maybe Flash CS5 could since it targets those devices, but  
again not sure. Don't have it.

Should be possible if it isn't, IMO.

Best,
Karl

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

Maybe export 64bit from Flash?
Couldn't say for sure.
If someone can verify if you can even do 64bit exports from Flash.
I would think CS5 could. Haven't tested that one.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Just provide a 64bit and 32bit version to the client.
They always love choices... :)

I'd also google the percentage of users on 10.6 as opposed to 10.5
Show that to the client and let them make the call on which to release  
first.

Good luck with Mountain Lion. Heard they were tightening the reigns.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

Nice one! got it working. Not sure if that will be acceptable to the client
but the upshot is that I can make a wicked screensaver for myself in Flash.

Thanks Karl,

 And don't forget that users have NO idea where to put a .scr file or
 the
 .saver files and on the MAC side the LIbrary folder is usually
 hidden
 to
 the average user.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Because OSX 10.6 needs a 64bit screensaver and the one your creating  
is 32bit.

Google your issue and you will see what I am talking about.

That's what I did.

Karl

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

Unfortunately that Screensaver For Mac doesn't seem to work for me. Their
demo files don't even work. I'm on OS X 10.6.8 .

Can someone on another system (or even the same) test it to see if it
works? Only need to download and double-click the .saver file to test.

Big thanks in advance,

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

/Library/Screen Savers (for all users of the computer to use it,  
otherwise install in the /Users/Library/Screen Savers directory)


I also think that if the user clicks a .saver file, it should offer to  
install itself.

Not sure of one built in flash though.

I'd try it on my mac before hand to test.

Best,
Karl

And don't forget that users have NO idea where to put a .scr file or  
the .saver files and on the MAC side the LIbrary folder is usually  
hidden to the average user.

That doesn't seem to work on my mac. System Preferences > Desktop & Screen
Saver not picking up my renamed projector file. Is it Windows only?

Thanks Henrik.

Make a projector that automatically enters fullscreen at start and exits
at input. Then rename it to *.scr, done.

Thanks for the pointers on AIR and feedback on Screentime. I'll look into
all that further.

Cheers,

David

Over the years I've used ScreenTime first for Director screensaver's and then 
Flash. It really works well. Installs it like an actual screensaver on PC or 
MAC.

It does the job quite well.

Later,
John

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[Sidney de Koning]

Hi David, 

What you can do is create and run an AIR app on startup of the users machine, 
respond to the idleTime property and show some media or text accordingly. The 
only thing is that it won't show up in the screeensavers list on the 
appropriate OS.

I think the SPF app has something similar: 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/samples_actionscript.html

Also look at: 
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApplication.html#idleThreshold

As for OS agnostic software to create screensavers, take a look at 
http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/ i used that in the past an has a lot 
of extra API's you can use and well documented. It is also a bit pricy... but 
if you are creating this for a client maybe you can try to put this on their 
invoice as "expenses" (of make a deal with the client so they pay for it).

Hope this steers you in a good direction, 

Best, 
Sidney
