The coming of SVG

Hi all, My most recent talk at LCG (in October) was 'Building an SVG Widget' and in order to talk about such a thing, I needed to actually build one - so I did :) So, we are now firmly on the road to full SVG support in LiveCode! At the moment the implementation only supports geometric shape

Actually, any button using an image/icon should have a scale and alternately a position, like when you set a picture for a web avatar. But that may be asking too much. A scale percentage would be great! I usually import the image, set it's scale, lock it's location, and then the buttons that use
