Disable screensaver on Air Desktop

[marcanw]

Is there a way to disable the screensaver from an Air app on a desktop (windows and Mac)?

There is a system idle mode setting you could try. It's good for stopping phones from turning off the screen, it may well work for desktop screensavers, but I haven't tried:

Good idea, I already use it on mobile. I'll try it and report back.

Thx Colin.

Unfortunately:

this feature is supported on mobile devices, but it is not supported on desktop operating systems or AIR for TV devices. See AIR Profile Support for more information regarding API support across multiple profiles.
