Oh yeah. SVG even defines a network socket layer. Nobody supports the full SVG spec. as far as I know, though (e.g., Firefox 1.5 supports SVG, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do animation yet - though I think you can fake it with scripting). > Again for all the flash movies out there, I hope that Gnash will succeed. > There have been a few attempts before to create Free Software flash players, > but have not made it over the hill of wider acceptance. I agree. I don't think a GL requirement is to Gnash's detriment; rather, I think it will allow them to concentrate on understanding the file format than rewriting primitive graphics operations.
