Creating a KISS60 screensaver from scratch

It's very simple to create KISS60 screensaver from scratch. 

1 Download KISS60 screensaver template  

2 Open the template with Flash 8 or CS3

3 Locate and get into the "Container" MovieClip from the library 

4 Create your MovieClip on "Add your content here" layer and get into your MovieClip

5 Rest is your creativity. Crete your art there.

6 Modify the background rectangle on "Background" layer, to fit screensaver's design. Background will be visible on screens other than 240x320.

7 Optionally, if you want your screensaver to be tagged as "Battery Friendly" on KISS60 gallery, it ideally should animate 5-10 seconds and then stop the animation. If your content is simple and doesn't contain nested animations, just name your MovieClip "my_is", and template will do the rest. If you have complicated structure of MovieClips, you should create your own strategy.

8 Test, test, test. If you don't have too many devices, head to Kuneri Forum , we will test it for you.

9 Create a thumbnail of your choice. (See "Creating screensaver thumbnails" section)

 
We will always test your screensaver before publishing. Therefore it's a good practice to showcase your screensaver on Kuneri Forum, before submitting. It's also very good idea to use the forum, due there are many other developers ready to help you when you have any quesitons or problems.

Adapt your existing work

Creating screensaver thumbnails

All KISS60 screensavers should have a static (no animation) thumbnail. Thumbnail will be visible on "My screensavers" menu of KISS60. To submit any screensaver, you will need to create a thumbnail.

1 Download KISS60 screensaver thumbnail template

2 Prepare the thumbnail on "Content" layer

3 Publish your movie

4 Name your thumbnail with the name of the scrensaver and "_t" suffix. So if your screensaver is "MyScreensaver.swf", your thumbnail should be "MyScreensaver_t.swf".
