Yes, as Pierre noted, people have been reading XML curve instructions from SVG and then programmatically drawing these curves within the Macromedia Flash Player. A search term of "svg flash" pulls up lots of extraneous material, but a search term of "svg actionscript" brings you various implementations. Helen Triolo and Claus Wahler have been the driving forces behind much of this work. (Note that this work focuses more on the scalable vector graphics in an SVG XML file, rather than other effects... people are working with vector drawings here, rather than the full SVG specifications.) >i would make slight modificiations to the image like filter effects, >resizing with svg, but was wondring then could it be dynamically >displayed in flash? Pixel-filters, no, at least not now. The current Macromedia Flash Player 7 does not apply blurs and such at runtime. The upcoming version of the Macromedia Flash Player, due later this year, is expected to include blurs, shadows and other pixel effects, as well as new compositing options (overlay, screen, etc). A search term of "flash player blur" pulls up reporting on previous public preview sessions. If you're trying to blur a JPG today, then this might be accomplished most easily by an image-processor on the server (I forget names of current offerings). (Sidenote: I was in an internal meeting the other day where these features were shown, and I asked which algorithms were chosen -- Photoshop's "overlay" mode is one that has been tricky for other applications to precisely replicate, for instance. I was told that that the next version of the Macromedia Flash Player would be using the compositing algorithms defined in the SVG 1.2 specification as its rules. This isn't guaranteed until it actually ships, of course, but that's my current understanding of the compositing algorithm problem.)

No... although the IE/Win browser can host any pre-installed system-level ActiveX Control, the Macromedia Flash Player does not, for security and compatibility reasons. > My main question is: Why would you want to...? One reason is for easier viewing in more browsers. jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco (Best to reply on-list, to avoid my mighty spam filters!)
