Visualizing XML with Flash

Jeremy Allaire wrote to point out an interesting Flash visualization of the Macromedia resource feed . It uses the two extra metadata elements in the feed -- resource type and product -- as handles for filtering. The presentation is a bit confusing because your eye tries to put the product indicators into a tabular layout that is (falsely) implied by the resource type names. That row of names reads as a table header, but isn't one. Still, very slick!

Will we soon see a convergence of interest between the social network visualizers and the Flash developers? I hope so.
