| SWiSH is a program that is used to create Flash 
        animations without using Macromedia's Flash product. SWiSH includes 
        tools for creating lines, rectangles, ellipses, curves, motion paths, 
        rollover buttons, and more. Once the animation is created, it is 
        exported into the SWF format used by Flash so that it can be viewed by 
        anyone who has Flash Player. SWiSH is a WYSIWYG program, which means you 
        see the animations exactly as they will appear in the Flash Player. The 
        development of SWiSH was possible because of Macromedia's decision to 
        make Flash an open source program, enabling SWiSH to be built on 
        Macromedia's code. Web users can download Flash Player to view SWiSH content, which 
        performs across multiple browsers and platforms. According to an 
        independent study cited by Macromedia, 89.9 percent of Web users already 
        have Flash Player installed.
