i was wondering if there was any software (or screensavers) that allowed you to create the cool vid shows they have in baseball (or any other sport) stadiums (the huge screen showing the 'monster double', 'whatacatch', 'hands clapping', 'homerun'... they're not high res and seem simple. i've seen a bunch of boring screensavers just showing the logo of your sports team moving around on the desktop, and e-mailing your hometeam for info is useless. thanks:D

As far as i know, .scr files are modificated .exe´s. try to rename any screen saver to exe and run. if it works, than probably Flash exe animations will work too.

Well, if you are a programmer, then you can program screen savers how ever you like (to the best of your ability). If you are really interested, take a look at "Programming Windows 98 from the GROUND UP". It tells you how to program a screen saver. I, personally, am a Windows programmer and I used Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows 5th Edition" to learn, and I'm using GROUND UP as a reference. It has those "gem" chapters that Petzold doesn't.

I was able to find Win98 programing @ a Dalton discount book store for a large sum of $9.00 but have seen it for $35.00 @ most book stores...
