You can use movie maker that comes with windows to make little movies you can use as screensavers

On download.com they have lots of flash screensaver things but make sure you make a system restore point before trying one of those caus I has a bad experience with 1 once.

Hey,

I'm a flash developer/web designer. It's more involving than you thought it would be eh?

If you want to animate something in flash.

1. Get your object, drawing, pict what ever on the stage area. (select the entire Object)
2. Hit F8 select Graphic.
3. click frame 10 (or whatever frame you want)
4. hit F6 (make a key frame)
5. move your object anywhere.
5.5 Now left-click the first frame select "Create Motion Tween".
6 hit Space Bar and Viola ... you item moves.
7. Export (crtl + shift + alt + s) to .swf

This is real basic. If you really want to get in to flash read the tutorials in the help folder, buy a book on Flash Basics, or hit the web... Flashkit.com Has some great basic tutorials to get you started.
