Has anyone here ever used Swish. I have just come across their site and am not really sure about it! Is it worth using instead of flash (as viewers don't have to have the flash plug in) or is it useful as an aid to flash only?

I have done sites in flash but obviously you either have to do an html alternative or get people to download the plugin if they don't have it already. Is this a viable option instead?

Any comments?????

It uses the Flash plugin.

It started as a simpler way to do text effects, and has grown to be a mini Flash program.

It's an excellent program for those of us that can't afford Flash. Test effects, images and sounds. The best 30.00 I ever spent! Version 2 is due to be relaesed soon and it will have even more features!

You can see two things I've done as tests here:
