SWF Scout provides functions to convert SWF to EXE and SWF to Windows screensaver file (SCR)

Generated screensavers are Windows 2000, XP and Vista compatible

SWF Scout generates standalone SCR file that does not require any additional files. You can set the flash movie for screensaver, text appearing in About dialog and title and watermark image (very useful if you need to create "demo" version of your screensaver)

If you are not software developer then check our SWF To Screensaver Scout product that can play and convert flash movies into standalone screensaver installers (.EXE)

Below is a sample code that generates SCR screensaver file using given SWF file, RTF text file with information for "about" dialog and watermark image.

' you can find source code of this example SWF2SCR.vbs along with required image files in "Examples\More Examples\SWF2Screensaver" sub-folder

Set SWf2EXE = CreateObject("SWFScout.SWF2EXE")

SWF2EXE.InitLibrary "demo", "demo"

SWF2EXE.ConvertSWF2SCR2 "Shapes.swf", "Heading.dat", "About.rtf", "About my Screensaver", "swfscout_logo.jpg", "Shapes.scr"

' use .ConvertSWF2SCR instead to generate screensaver without watermark image
