    ok, I tried, but it won't work with Flash movie that has a "PLAY NOW" screen, WHICH MOST LARGE/INTERESTING .SWF's DO! It will just stuck there, and if you try to press the "PLAY NOW" link, the screen saver will quit. :(

    Hello.
    Thank you for linking to InstantStorm Technology Preview.
    InstantStorm is mainly made for creating and publishing screensavers from your own SWF files, files for screensavers usually do not contain buttons.

    However, we decided to develop this little fix that might help you with the problem described above. This fix will be available in the final version 1.0.

    Here are instructions to create screensaver from a SWF file that contains a button like 'Click here to play the movie':
    1) Download this file: http://www.czokl.com/dow...onpress_fix_0.9.3.0.zip
    2) Unpack the downloaded file to the following directory {path to InstantStorm}\bin
    3) Confirm file overwriting
    4) Run InstantStorm, create and compile the screensaver.

    Best regards

    What a great program, so much control of the screensaver install but it's pretty easy to do. The interface is also very clean and cool looking. Cheers to the programmers. Looking forward to future versions.
