I'd also add that I would expect SVG to become perhaps an alternative internal description mode for the same shape, line and curve primitives that SWF is already capable of, and would allow editing of such as SVG. All told, the main effect I would imagine is that SVG disappears. I don't mean that it goes away, I mean that it becomes internalised into the way Flash does its stuff, to the degree that designers simply don't see the SVG - they just get on and use the authoring environment. This parallels what happened with PostScript. Nowadays, people just get on and use QuarkXpress or InDesign and it really doesn't matter that it's PostScript coming out of the other end, it gets the job done and nobody thinks about PostScript with any more excitement that normal people think about what kind of wires their stereo system is hooked up with. With an SVG-internalised Flash (which might coexist with the existing SWF description mode) then SVG experts could dig in and get a lot done, but you shouldn't need to be that expert just to get a bit of SVG work out of the door. -- Ian Tindale http://tindale.dyn.nu/ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
