XP has a nifty powertoy that allows you to view video as a screensaver.
It doesn't work with quicktime files though.

how can i make flash i also am making a sceen saver

lol well, import the movie files into a program such as Macromedia Flash then export the movie and save it as an .swf

how do i inport it into Macromedia Flash

File > Import Movie

ok but how can i open Macromedia Flash  in case im using windows xp

Macromedia Flash is actually a different program that does not come with Windows XP. If you google it you may find a trial version of the program. Some member may know a free flash creater.

You could always hit http://www.google.com or http://www.download.com and try searching for flash creator

so right click > save target as

It will be now downloaded on your PC as a QuickTime movie, now just import it into flash and save it as a swf.

So basically choose the one you want, right click it, save target as. Then import it into flash by using Macromedia or some other Flash creation software. Save the newly created flash file, usually with a file extension of SWF. Then use the program mentioned above. Someone might be nice and make the swf files for you.Like me! I made the files using the Large .mov file in each swf file. I have attatched them as a zip file.

Right well feeling generous, I even made the two screensavers for you using the program mentioned above.

Thanks so much It works great The only problem is, when it runs for a while my computer start making the error sound over and over again and it says out of memory or something  Any ideas?

A) You're welcome

B) I'm not sure, I'll run it and test. It could be the actual way the program is made.  Nope i didn't get any errors

Well for me it took like thirty minutes before the errors occured. I went downstairs and was watching TV, when my brother came to me and told me my computer was beeping
