Want to create special text effects for the Web? You know Flash is the format for you but, oh, couldn't there be an easier way? You bet your bitmap there is. And it's just our luck that our fantastic Flash site has a review.

Before you plunk down your thirty bucks make sure you check out the review by the Pope de Flash, a regular on our great sister site FlashKit.com. Mr. de Pope gives us a handful of samples to look at and the inside skinny from David Mitchie, CTO of DJJ Holdings (the company that wrote the program).

Oh, by the way the name of this special program is SWiSH, and we think that programs like this, born out of Macromedia's decision to open-source Flash, are helping to make Flash the best streaming medium on the Web today.
