How to make your own flash screensaver

By | May 16, 2009

Before you start this tutorial keep in mind that you need a basic knoledge of Flash. I used Flash CS4 but in the pictures below the Flash version is CS3.

Step 1) Create a new flash document, set the resolution as your phones resolution.
(Etc. 176×220/240×320)

(If you want to set your own picture as the background, press Ctrl + R, if the picture isnt the correct size, use the transform tool to resize it.)

Step 2) Click on Publish Settings.
Step 3) Click on the Flash tab and change the version to Flash Lite 1.1.

Step 5) Add a textfield to the layer.

Step 6)
Type 99.99.99 in the textfield.

Step 7) Set the Text to Dynamic text. From the properties menu on the right or on the bottom.

Step 8 ) Type TIME in the VAR (or variable it depends on the version of flash)box.

    How do you go about making the background transparent, or force the screensaver to take/use a screenshot of the current display as a background?
