Sure screen savers are old news, but I was toying around in Flash a while ago and came up with this simple little experiment. It simply randomly selects a letter from an array, animates it in, out and then destroys itself. After a few loops the colour flips and the process continues. It’s not the most exciting bit of code in the world, but I think it works nicely.

You can download the windows installer (sorry, no mac version yet), grab the source code or see an in-browser version.
PS: For those playing with the source code, set the blur variable to true, looks much better, but the performance hit is pretty bad.
