In the effort to customize my windows XP workstation I have discovered that flash projector applications proclaiming to allow transparent, shaped, applications, are not all they're cracked up to be.
MDM zinc 2.5 loads a transparent flash 8 swf projector after about 5 mintues, and is so slow that proves impossible to use. Flash 9 it won't take at all.
Northcodes swfStudio 3.5 will work but is sticky.
Old flash Ants IceProjector 1.5 flows like sugar compared to these, and supports AS3. Unfortunatley these programms application/system manipulating capabilities run inverse to there graphical prowess. Iceprojector is limited to fsCommands.
Cacheing the moving images as bitmaps seems to have no effect.
Perhaps there is a workaround or MDM 3 is better.

You should REALLY use MDM Zinc 3.0 - the transparency is flawless, optimized and works perfectly across Windows and Mac OSX now. The transparency in 2.5 is ancient and not worth mentioning. Definately give Zinc 3.0 a go. :)
Too right MDM, version 3 is very nice and smooth, too bad about the watermark;>
