Screentime For Flash 4 Released For Mac OS X

Screentime Media has announced the release of Screentime for Flash 4 for Mac OS X and Windows. Screentime for Flash is used by creative professionals at Apple, Microsoft, Disney, Tribal DDB, Warner Brothers and thousands of other companies to deliver rich entertaining content to millions of desktops worldwide. Screentime for Flash 4 dramatically improves performance on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and adds support for Flash Player 10.1 on both Mac and PC.

Screentime for Flash 4 adds multiple-language support so now developers build and distribute just one installer to reach their users worldwide. The initial release of Screentime for Flash 4 supports English, German, French, Dutch, and Japanese - additional languages can be added upon request.

Screentime's ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0 class libraries and documentation have been re-engineered for Screentime 4, making it easier to extend Flash. With the Screentime 4 ActionScript class, developers are able to read/write files, check for an active net connection, download files, and much more. Screentime 4 includes a new integrated Help panel for Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 to enable offline development.


Screentime for Flash 4 adds an option to limit playback to the main screen enabling CPU intensive Flash animations to play without a hitch on multi-screen, large monitor systems.

Screentime for Flash 4 adds myriad other useful features including command-line build, Flex support, a TraceViewer/Console debug window, and an integrated Utility menu (on the PC) with shortcuts to 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).

Brian Hutchins, co-founder of Screentime Media says, "We've re-engineered Screentime to keep up with all the latest changes in Flash and Mac and PC operating systems with an eye toward making improvements in speed, usability, and today's connected planet."

"However the basic idea remains the same. Screensavers are great branding tools. Make something cool and your campaign will go viral. When your user's computer sleeps, co-workers and friends will say, "I want that!!!." A demo download, sample code, and documentation is available at the Screentime website.
