You can directly attach an SVG resource to Flash sprite:
http://www.streamhead.com/vector-vs-bitmap-side-by-side-svg-png-in-flash/
public class Test extends Sprite {
[Embed(source='library/star.svg')]
private var starSVGClass:Class;
private var starSVG:Sprite = new starSVGClass ();
Adobe docs:
Embedding SVG images
Flex supports importing Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images, or a
GZip compressed SVG image in a SVGZ file, into an application. This
lets you import SVG images and use SVG images as icons for Flex
controls.
Flex supports a subset of the SVG 1.1 specification to let you import
static, two-dimensional scalable vector graphics. This includes
support for basic SVG document structure, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
styling, transformations, paths, basic shapes, colors, and a subset of
text, painting, gradients, and fonts. Flex does not support SVG
animation, scripting, or interactivity with the imported SVG image.
For example, you use the [Embed] metadata tag in ActionScript to embed
an SVG image, as the following code shows:
[Embed(source="logo.svg")]
[Bindable]
public var imgCls:Class;
