Hi. This is my first time posting on Penny-Arcade and so I made a special piece in Flash, specifically for this purpose. Twisp and Catsby are some of my favorite sideline characters on the site so I put together a short animation based off a wallpaper of Twisp and Catsby (you'll probably recognize it).
Anyway, the .swf is hosted on Newgrounds (not for profit, it’s my first posting ever to Newgrounds as well), just as a tribute piece, and can be found
here.
My problem is that I wanted to turn the loop into a screen saver but have encountered several problems. I have a mac, so finding any share/freeware to make a screen saver is a pain (nearly non-existant, I tried iScreensaver but it has the Quicktime issue I am about to talk about...). When Apple updated Quicktime it disabled all Flash stuff so I can't find any programs that will work even when I can find a program that runs on a mac. Mac forums have been no help at all (just a lot of “Apple needs to fix Quicktime, blargleblargle”) so I thought maybe another artist would know. Any ideas?
Also, any critiques on the animation itself would be welcome. Thanks for letting me share!

Seriously though, the screen saver thing is the most frustrating, I wish I knew more about it.
I'm working on it though!
