I'm writing a win32 app that will host a swf as its GUI and also a portion of that application will be used as a screensaver. I'm not sure my deployment strategy (a typical windows installer the includes the exe and its dependencies) would work for you but the screensaver host app(exe) will be programmed to download SWFs to execute as the screen saver graphics module.
In fact, I'm going to use asp.net web services as the means to determine which SWFs are available to display, etc. This could be pretty easily adapted to dynamically determine the SWF your customer wants to display, download it and then display it. Once downloaded they wouldn't have to do anything to configure the saver, etc though my application will support the settings selected by the standard windows screen saver configuration dialog. Anyway, I'll probably open source what I'm doing and when it's ready send you a link if you're interested. But, I'm not sure if the deployment strategy for the exe and the discovery mechanism of which SWF to display are workable for you. If so, just drop me a line off-list and I'll see what I can do to help.

Hi all, Hope someone has a solution to this issue. I client of mine wants a 'create screensaver' feature on their flash website. Based on some default flash template the user should be able to customize it and finally download it as a personal screensaver. In the old days I would use Generator to create and export the customized swf - but it has been deprecated for since flash 6!? After that step I would then need to convert the generated swf to a screensaver/exe file on the server which finally can be downloaded by the user. The question is if that is possible at all and if so which setup/software would I need. BTW I'm on a .Net platform if that matters.
