I would, if it weren't for the nicer shadow I got when I set in before
exporting the Flash. I also assumed sending the filter definition to every
sIFRed element through JS would just mean a slowdown (probably not
noticeable though), as opposed to baking them into the SWF itself.

 I don't think so, actually. I'll look closer when I'm playing with it.

That would be a dream come true ;)
