If you’ve ever worked with Flash, and have thought “hey, that Flash file would produce a cool Screensaver,” thereupon today is your lucky day. InstantStorm is a free program that converts your flash movies into Screensavers quickly and easily.

InstantStorm downloads as a small (2.7 MB) file, and the install is straightforward. When you start up InstantStorm, you have the option of creating a new project from scratch, using the New Project Wizard, or opening an existing project.

The New Project Wizard is a good way to get your feet wet before building a project from scratch. The wizard guides you through naming the Screensaver,

choosing a Flash file, and selecting a bitmap image to use in the installation screen. Once all the selections are made, visit create and your Screensaver is saved as an executable. Double-click the executable file and your Screensaver is installed.

InstantStorm allows you to customize your new Screensaver in a number of ways, including scaling of your Screensaver image, the ability to create Screensaver desktop shortcuts, WYSIWYG designers for your Screensaver’s installer, and more.

InstantStorm is a free download, Windows only.
