  Hello all, i'm making a flash based screen saver that will end up in use on 17 - 30 inch monitors any idea what size I should make the flash source, I think i'm gonna make two versions one for standard monitor & one for widescreen monitor. Any ideas as there will be some bitmap content within so I'm a bit concerned about scaling. If anyone has some experience they would like to share that would be great.
  cheers peeps

  make sure the image is big enough for the largest monitor size you are targeting and then scale it down

  • and turn on smoothing.– skt

  not trying to be a dick or anything, really, but:

  1980's screen saver: pretty moving pixels
  2000's screen saver: Automatically turn monitor off after _ minutes

  screen savers just waste energy and the life of your screen, and the only people who look at them are those invisible people who are at your computer when your not using it. I paid way too much for my monitors for them to just burn out.

  Designed a few screen savers for clients, never understood why a big company would pay/promote its employees to run their screens when not necessary.
