An open ended question regarding the best choice in graphics libraries
for Flex...

I'm approaching the stage where I'm going to have to start including
some more sophisticated graphics in my application. Ultimately I need
to develop a flexible tree of linked icons (like an organizational
chart). Each icon will be relatively complex and active (a bitmap will
not work). The icons will initially be developed by graphics designers
who are not Flex-savvy, so I will need to work with a standard vector
format like SVG. The icons need to be joined by lines with arrow-heads
- preferably intelligent lines that flow around the icons.

Degrafa looked like an excellent choice because it looks like it
supports SVG, but Degrafa doesn't offer lines with arrow-heads, let
alone intelligent lines. FXG is emerging in Flex 4 but that is a
standard unknown to all graphics designers. The community has done a
lot of work, but all that code might become obsolete if a standard
emerges.

What's the best choice in graphics libraries for me?
