The problem with iscreensaver is that it does not yet support Flash MX features, or for that matter anything that requires .SWF version 6 or 7. Almost everything interesting that can be done with Flash is dependent on version 6 or 7. Only animation, audio, and slide shows are possible otherwise. In the future, iscreensaver may be a good option, but the company is waiting for Apple to support MX features, etc., in their Quicktime. I have no idea how long it will take Apple to support MX features in Quicktime. On a more positive note, iscreensaver does have ways to support interactive screen savers, so that is good.
