This is one of my favourite jQuery plugins I came across whilst browsing the many available

jQuery.spritely is a jQuery plugin created by Artlogic

Its made for creating  background animation in pure HTML and JavaScript.

“It’s a simple, light-weight plugin with a few simple methods for creating animated sprites such as the birds you see on this page, and dynamic scrolling backgrounds.” Says Artlogic.

This is certainly something I would favour over Flash Animation any day, much faster and in my opinion browser friendly, plus it will work on the iPhone unlike Flash Animations. Very light weight so won’t drain your bandwidth, and best of all its FREE.
