The FlashSaver is a Universal Binary screen saver that loads an HTML page, itself loading a Flash movie inside. The whole is bundled as an installer, since to avoid Macromedia Flash security pop-up windows, it installs a “trust.cfg” file in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust, indicating that the Flash movies inside the screen saver can be trusted. The screen saver itself is installed into /Library/Screen Savers/. Have fun!
Note: the bundled SWF files in the project come from Apple’s own Developer Tools (/Developer/Examples/wxWidgets/wxPython/demo/data/Asteroid_blaster.swf), and the SWF clock from the CFF.ch website.
