actually swishmax makes life easy when you need simple animation, for example it has more than 300 builtin text animation effect, and it takes not more than 1 sec to apply certain swish effect. Swishscript is also very powerful, we have also created Messageboard Forum software using Swishmax, PHP and MySQL, you can see it here and you can also download it..
