[Sigia-l] Facets, Flash, and Fun

Here is another Flash tool (another camera-selector tool!) that I was
quite impressed with. I like the fact that when it loads it gives you a
subtle little animated demo on how to use it.

Note that the page scrolls! :) The scrolling is appropriate and it works
because the main interactive area is all 'above the fold'. This
interface would have cost 2-3 times as much to build in cross-browser
HTML, and if it was done in the really old-fashioned way (i.e., without
lots of Javascript and DHTML) the user would have to wait for the page
to reload over and over again as they changed their comparison options.
