I need to amke a screensaver similar to one at Halfproject in the Goodies section. Any ideas o how I would go about this. I got google but I figured someone might have already done their homework.

Are you wondering how they designed it or what program(s) they used?
Very simple. They just re-created their logo in some 3d program (and not particularly well), turned it into a movie clip that, onLoad, sets it's own size and position to random numbers. Then they used a screensaver program to convert it.

Yes, I would be looking for the Screensaver program, I am fine with the flash & ActionScripting.
I know that you have some nice screensavers too.

I like the autonoma clock or something like that, used to rock it on my screen for a couple of weeks..

Thanks a lot, RocaBaby. Yeah, I'm currently working on a new site (and new domain - AMillionThingsToDo.com) for the screensavers. I need to update the .as file for the clock, as it contains last year's information. That remains my most downloaded screensaver by far.
Anyway, I use ShowTime 3.0 for my screensavers, but it unfortunately only outputs PC-friendly savers. I've used screentime, FlashJester, and iScreensaver, and ShowTime is by far my favorite. The iScreensaver program outputs both Mac and PC-friendly versions, but the program seems to be really buggy and SUPER slow. The setup for one screensaver took me about 35 minutes on my computer (and I have a fast one) because it was so slow.
Their site is http://www.iscreensaver.net
Good luck!

I could care less about Mac's where can I get the one you use?

Sorry, RocaBaby. Been at work all night. Here's the site where you can download. REALLY cheap, too:
