FlashForge

FlashForge is a straightforward software tool that allows you to create screensavers from Flash Video files (e.g. SWF, EXE). It can be easily handled, even by less experienced users.

The interface of the program is based on a wizard where you can follow a few simple steps to achieve the desired results. Loading a Flash Video file can be done with the help of either the file browser or 'drag and drop' method. Unfortunately, you cannot process multiple items at the same time.

You can display either the FlashForge promo, picture from your computer (BMP, GIF or JPEG) or web link in the settings window of the screensaver.

But you can also preview the current screensaver movie as Shockwave or disable this option, as well as make FlashForge create an interactive screensaver and to put a user-defined expiration date on it.

Once the output directory for the installer is established, you can proceed with the task. You can edit the installer messages and set FlashForge to compress the installation program, as well as specify a post-task action (e.g. open the display properties screen, start the screensaver, show a Readme file).

The app includes a help file, quickly creates an installer and uses a very low amount of CPU and system memory. We have not come across any problems during our evaluation; FlashForge did not freeze, crash or display error dialogs. First-time users can figure out this app's features briefly. No recent updates have been made.
