'transparent' screensaver

[flomotion]

Hi,
I want to create a screensaver where a character will do some funny stuff on the user's desktop. unfortunately there's no transparent window option for screensavers.
I thought I could do a screencapture and use that image.. but how do I get a grabbed screen into flash?
or is there another option to create a transparent screensaver?
thanks from a newbie.

Sorry, SWFKit doesn't support transparent screen savers. But maybe you can create a transparent screen saver by building a transparent application and altering its extension to ".scr".

I'll try that option.. thanks.
But isn't there a possibility to do a screengrab and use that screengrab as a background image in Flash?
(I only saw examples of saving or printing screendumps.. all in FFish script)

Add the following code into the "Initialize" script of the screen saver

var img = Image.captureScreen();
Application.onMovieLoaded = function ()
{
img.loadImage(0);
}

Hi... my english is not the best... but I'll try:

I also need to do a 'transparent' screensaver and I tried your code but the image is in the level 0 and the movie is not visible. I put this code in the 'initialize' script:

FlashPlayer.loadMovie(1,"test.swf");

It works but very slowly. I tried to do not show th image and I can see a 'blur' effect: the movie is playing 2 times.

My question is, after I put the code capturing the image, how can I do to play the movie in a superior level that I can see?

Thanks
