I’d like to announce the first public release of PNGPong, a cross-browser solution for displaying transparent PNGs on the web for IE, Firefox, and Safari.

Download Links

• Download PNGPong 1.0.0 (Zip file) - contains pngpong.js, pngpong.swf, swfobject.js (v1.4.4), and an example page showing how to use it. Just unzip the contents to the root of your website, and surf to http://yourdomain.com/pngpong/example/
• Download PNGPong 1.0.0 Source Files (Zip file) - contains pngpong.fla, pngpong.js, pngpong.swf, and swfobject.js (v1.4.4)

It’s been tested by several developers and QA people and is in use for a high traffic site. Please note that the Javascript API and functionality was created out of the needs of a specific project. I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on improvements.

Thanks for checking this out.
