Hey- Can you use a flash .swf file as your desktop wallpaper, and if so, how? I see programs out there, but there has to be someway to do it.

Hey,

It is actually possible to use a file or webpage as your active desktop. Im sure there is thirdpary software that can hook this up but here is another solution.

1. Create your swf and HMTL wrapper for the swf.
2. Place them in a directory you like.
3. Right Click on the desktop
4. Select the desktop tab from the Display Properties panel
5. Select Browse
6. Locate and select your HTML file
7. Hit Apply

That should do it.
