I dont think you can use flash as your background etc on your iPhone, what you can do is have video's as your background, but this harms the iPhone's performance and battery life. If you are after a photo like slideshow, search for BossPaper in cydia, as this does exactly that, and does not use up much of the phones resources.

Thats pretty well done, but unfourtanetly i doubt you can transfer that directly. However, there are ways to have a live clock on the springboard, so you could play around with that, and make a widget, to get a similar sort of effect. I think in the screen shot or "Show of your theme thread" there was a screenie of someone who had made a widget with 2 clocks from different time zone's. So have a look into that!

Yea as lach said, widgets are the way to go if you know HTML. I am a noob when it comes to HTML but i have been working on a lock screen and wallpaper to work with winterboard that shows the time, weather, sports scores, and recent news.
