The swfIR has put together a handy widget for styling images in your site. The library utilitizes JavaScript and Flash to produce a variety of image effects like shadows, rounded corners (with or without borders), rotation, and borders.swfIR (swf Image Replacement) is here to solve some of the design limitations of the standard HTML image and its widely-accepted associated CSS values, while still supporting standards-based design concepts. Using the dark arts of JavaScript and Flash, swfIR gives you the ability to apply an assortment of visual effects to any or all images on your website. Through progressive enhancement, it looks through your page and can easily add some new flavor to standard image styling.
When you start to use swfIR, you’ll need the ability to style it, the same way that you can do with regular images. To get around browser inconsistencies, swfIR adds a with a class of swfir around any image you’re replacing.
There are some issues with swfIR that the creators make us aware of, and they are:
- Resizing/zooming in Opera crashes the browser
- Flash of unstyled content: images load first before JavaScript replaces them
- alt text is not preserved upon replacement
- HTML right-click options are disabled
- Incompatible with other JS libraries like Prototype or MooTools
- Doesn’t work with hot-linked images because of security restrictions in Flash
