Hi Christian – Not sure what your problem is, the code works fine for me. Sorry I can’t provide better support.

Hello, I was looking for an affordable solution for update the screensavers that I created with Flash and SWF2Saver 2 Pro and unfortunately are not compatible with Mac OS 10.6. I found your “Macflashscreensavermaker” and it works perfectly fine for the first, but not for those who follow (they all have the same animation as the first). Is there an easy solution that I can set implemented, I am a graphic designer, Francophone, and only know a few bits of programing.

Hi Hoss – I’ll take a look later but the code should work on any MacOS that supports WebKit. You might need to change the build settings to create a build compatible with older OS. Have a go and let me know how you get on.

Hi Simon, thanks for sharing your screensaver maker project. I just used it for an app I made that, coincidentally, is also a clock. http://itsaclock.flamjam.com/

I’ve put the beta version of the clock up at http://bit.ly/itsass if you’d like to take a look.

Are you familiar with a technique that would allow the screensaver to work on OS X versions older than Snow Leopard?

I thought you’d saved me the cost of upgrading Screentime (again) but methinks I may need it for the legacy Mac peeps.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work,
Hoss.

Any chance of a bit of really basic how you use (outline the steps) documentation. Dont need a major book about it but just point us in the right direction.

Thanks for the great reasource…
