This tool converts a Flash file into a full-blown screensaver installer with your logo, Web address, and read-me file. The strength and weakness of the FlashForge interface is its wizard design. Though the wizard makes it easy to create a screensaver within a couple minutes of installing the program, you have to go through all the options every time. The output looks good. The installer size is much smaller than the source movies. We wished for the ability to add a musical soundtrack, though. The trial version of the program lets you create a demo screensaver that expires after a few days. FlashForge lets anyone who can use Flash make a professional-looking screensaver.
