Essentially something that would allow creation of screen savers from flash that would then work on GNU/Linux operating systems.

Technically, linux screen savers just write to the root window, so, all you'd actually need to do is embed a web browser or silimar in to the screen saver and display the flash movie on the "root" window. Given that there are also flash movie players, and they take a window argument, you could get those to display it on the root window as a shell script and set that as the "screensaver". X Screen Hacks (as X11 screen savers are quite often called) really do just write to the root window, there's not a whole lot to 'em. Cheers, -- Brett Parker
