professional screensaver creation tool in 1995.
Screentime Exclusives
STF Class
Screentime V3 commands that give you powerful access to the Mac and Windows desktop API. These new commands expand what is possible with Flash based screen savers, with the ability to download files, set custom wallpapers, read, write, copy and delete files, detect if a computer is connected to the internet and much more - all from within Flash using ActionScript.
Integrated Support
Screentime V3 includes a Flash Extension to make your Flash development
environment "screensaver Development Ready". The extension integrates Screentime's component, class, and documentation into Flash. The extension enables code completion for STF desktop classes, and installs Screentime documentation in the Flash Help panel.
Run-Time Debugging
Screentime V3 enables you to log debug messages during screensaver execution.
The
only Mac and Windows Solution
Screentime is the only Flash native screensaver solution
for Mac OS X (10.2.8 and later), and Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000,
XP and Vista. Whatever platform you have users on today, we have
a screen saver creation tool that will do the job.
Programmable
Settings Window
Now your Settings window can include controls to change the
screensaver's animation speed, text, urls, whatever. No other
screen saver solution gives you this option.
NT
WebLaunch™
Want to include hyperlink in your saver? Some screensaver
solutions have BIG problems doing seemingly simple things
like sub-launching a child window. Opening a browser on NT
based systems may create a fight between the browser and saver
for top most window or worse yet (and more likely) leave the
saver running as an orphaned process. Our solution handles
this and may other tricky platform specific problems seamlessly.
Flash
Everywhere Interface
Screentime V3 enables you to fully customize each aspect of your screensaver using Flash including the screensaver's control panel, settings window, and the installer.
Robust Flash Support
Supports
Latest Flash Plug-in
Screentime FlashInstall™ technology insures the latest
Flash plug-in is installed on the user's machine so you don't
have to.
XML
- Deliver to the Desktop
Take advantage of XML support in Flash and put up-to-the-minute
information right in front of your users' eyeballs. Having
your screen tell you things - snow or surf conditions are
improving, your team just scored, your company stock price
is going up again, or your favorite song is "now playing"
on the radio - can be pleasantly distracting.
Hyperlinks
Some information can't be TOO easy to find. With Screentime
you can integrate links right into the screensaver making
your online auction, expert resource, blog, user group, or
favorite internet rag one click away. Clicking the link opens
a new browser and away you go.
New Meaning
to "Rich Internet Application"
Adobe promotes Flash as a Rich Internet Application builder.
With Screentime for Flash you can convert your Flash
applications into screensavers. These applications can be
as simple as a stock ticker or as complex as web service based
animation.
User Friendly
Easiest
for You - "One Click" Build

installer in two easy steps: Drop a SWF into the Content panel
window then Click Build. That's it! Add a few more steps and
your installer can include a more customized interface.
Easiest
for Your Users - "One Click" Install
End users download and run the installer and your swf becomes

day and free of charge. When you call during our business
hours, you'll talk to a real person. And unlike other companies,
the programmers who wrote the code are in the office backing
up the support staff everyday.
A basic understanding of Adobe
Flash is recommended to use Screentime for Flash.
You Can Do More: The V3 "screensaver" component and STF class extend Flash with roughly 50 functions.
With V3 your saver can:
check for a net connection.
download files to a local directory.
read and write to files.
copy, delete, and list files and folders.
set an image to be the active wallpaper.
get standard Mac and Windows folder paths.
generate a unique user identifier.
One SWF, 2 Platforms: Build a Mac and Windows Screen Saver from the same swf. Nearly all STF commands are cross-platform.
More Convenient: The V3 Flash extension integrates the STF class and Screentime help into Flash as if saver creation was native to ActionScript.
More Robust: We've been hard at work improving playback, hibernation and firewall support, and many more small but important details.
