ScreenTime for Flash Changelog

What's new in ScreenTime for Flash 5.0

Apr 16, 2013
  • Re-engineered support for Mac OS X 10.8 vastly improving speed and useability.
  • Added Flash Player 10.1 support.
  • Multiple language support - single file screensaver installer supports Dutch, English, French, German, and Japanese. Additional languages can be added upon request. Free.
  • Re-engineered STF component and documentation - Now fully AS3 and Flash CS4/CS5 compatible.
  • Option to limit playback to the main screen enabling CPU intensive Flash animations to play without a hitch on multi-screen, large monitor systems.
  • Myriad of other added useful features including command-line build, Flex support, a TraceViewer/Console debug window, and an integrated Utility menu on the PC.
  • And of course, bug fixes.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 4.0 (Jan 28, 2011)

  • Re-engineered support for Mac OS X 10.6 gaining a vast improvement in speed and useability.
  • Added Language Support. The PC installer now speaks English, Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, German, or Dutch depending on the user's system locale selected for non-unicode applications. The Mac installer supports English, French, Japanese, German, or Dutch.
  • Added Flash Player 10.1
  • Added Play On Main Monitor Only feature. Just check a box and your screensaver will only play on the main monitor. Good for screensavers with CPU intensive animations.
  • A new STF class. Now you can access a bunch of desktop properties as soon as the component is initialized. Check out STFEvent.INITIALIZATION_COMPLETE for more information.
  • Improved AS3 Support and Documentation. V392 inlcuded AS3 support but the new component works a lot better in the Flash IDE.
  • A new Screentime Help Panel. With Flash CS4/CS5 Adobe moved to a new Help system that we couldn’t hack like the old one so we have now added our own Help Panel. Click Window > Other Panels > Screentime Help to see it in action. Screentime Help works online and offline.
  • Added Command Line Build for work flow folks: pathToScreentime -c pathToYourProjectFile
  • TraceViewer, our version of the Output window. You can log all your STF commands and STF.trace() messages to the TraceViewer application. The only caveat is that messaging does not work when your screensaver is running with passwords on. To see messages on TraceViewer launch the screensaver from the Preview button in Screentime or uncheck “On resume, display logon screen” (Vista and 7) or ”On resume, return to Welcome screen” (XP) in your Screensaver control panel.
  • A new Utilities menu, a big time saver. Navigating around Windows can be a drag. With this menu you can make your computer sleep (CNTL-L), open the Screensaver control panel (CNTL-D), launch TraceViewer (CNTL-T), and install the screensaver onto your computer (CNTL-I).
  • New Help menu has links to take you directly to Screentime video tutorials and our screensaver designer guide.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 3.9.0 (Mar 2, 2010)

  • Added Actionscript 3.0 STF ActionScript Component for Flash.
  • Added Actionscript 3.0 STF ActionScript Component for Flex.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 3.8.0 (Nov 11, 2009)

  • Fixed bugs in component for paths.
  • Improved Flash 10 support.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 3.6.2 (Jul 30, 2008)

  • Version 3.6.2 fixes a bug that caused the installer to crash in languages other the English on 10.2.8, fixes a bug in downloadFile that caused Screentime to crash after downloading an update.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 3.6.1 (Jul 29, 2008)

  • Quiet installers are also now possible enabling simple integration into projects that do not need a complete interactive installer.
  • Screentime will now also automatically zip your installer so it is ready for immediate upload to the internet.
  • mProjector commands are now optionally enabled in Screentime 3.6. All commands are available, but we highly recommend not using window handling and other commands not applicable to screen savers. To enable mProjector commands in flash, download mProjector from the Screentime web site and install the mProjector mxp file.

New in ScreenTime for Flash 3.6 (Jul 25, 2008)

  • This is a substantial under the hood revision, some screen savers will see major performance improvements and more accurate framerate playback.
  • A number of other bugs have also been fixed.
  • You can also download the mProjector AS3 kit and use in screentime (beta). Screentime now also will trigger a firewall if active when the screen saver is installed rather than when the screen saver runs.
  • This was causing problems with hidden windows.
