FAQ -> Creator


I'm putting together a screensaver just now that includes a 1 minute video animation. I'm wondering if it's possible to include the flv as a component that streams from a file that's installed locally alongside the screensaver, rather like external swfs that can be included in the installer and referenced using LoadMovie.
I am using a Flash MX projector file, will it work with Creator?
Could you use an .rmf file as well as a midi file? Could you possibly use the beatnik plugin?
When I add a link to a web page on a Flash 5 projector, on building my screen saver, it doesn't load up after clicking on it when the screen saver is working. Why?
Testing the screensaver in display properties on Win NT worked fine, but when screensaver launches after a predefined timeout, an error dialog box containing "Exception EFCreateError in module JBall.scr at 0000D68A. Cannot create file D:\NT40\__3ESolutions_temp\jball.exe" appears. How can I fix this?

Yes it's possible with Creator. You need to add the FLV in the additional files section in Creator.
Please download the example file below to see it working.
You will need to Build the project from the *.jcf given in Creator.

| Yes, it will make sure you have the latest version of Creator, 1.3 or above. |

| We don't have the developers kit in order to do this. When it's more available then maybe, but again we see no advantage here... this only increases the engine size, it's much easier to grab a midi file off the net than a RMF file. |

The reason this happens is two-fold. First, you would have been using the 'Get URL' function within Flash and second, you were probably running under Windows NT. There is a problem within Flash that causes this error when running under Windows NT but there is a way to get around this. By using JStart, one of the JTools , you can be sure that every user that has a copy of your screen saver being able to view and fully interact with the screen saver, as designed, under whichever platform they are using. So if you are putting the screen saver on the internet for example, you will not know which platform everybody is using, so to be sure to avoid this problem that will frustrate NT users to death, simply use JStart to do the job of linking to web pages.
You can download an example on how to use this function.
