I love it when standards and Flash play nicely together, and the release of swfIR today really illustrates how Flash can be used to progressively enhance images in your standards-compliant markup- and in a nicely unobtrusive manner. Inline rotations, drop shadows, rounded corners, dynamic resizing and flexible borders are now yours for the price of a svelte JS include and 'shim' SWF file, at the expense of a simple <span> wrapped around your image. And of course, like sIFR before it, should your user agent not support swfIR the original image - with it's pristine and standards-compliant markup - is shown as expected, sans the glitzy effects. Kudos to the swfIR team - Jon Aldinger, Mark Huot and Dan Mall - for this tasty morsel of progressively-enhanced joy.
You can read more at the swfIR site, and find additional commentary at both Jeffrey Zeldman and Mike Davidson's weblogs (as they cued me in on swfIR to begin with). Good stuff.

Hi, Ajaxlines- don't mean to be flippant, but where exactly are your *reviews*? You've really only provided a screenshot of the swfIR site and a link to the site, with a very brief summary paragraph. If you're just looking to get crosslinked, I'd rather you just come out and ask for it directly... ;-)
