Swiflet

Swiflet

A swiflet is a software component that visually shows a representation of a newspaper, book or leaflet. The user can virtually flip the pages just like the real thing.
This phenomenon was originally introduced as a flipping book effect in Macromedia Flash applications in the late 1990's but has been evolving rapidly ever since. Flash applications or Shockwave Flash files have the .swf file extension which is commonly pronounced "swif". Hence the name swiflet using the "swif" and the "let" from leaf-/booklet in combination.
