Hi All, First, while support for ASV will end as of 2008, I understand the existing plug-in will continue to be supplied by Adobe indefinitely. Also, the current stable release of ASV seems (to me) as good or better than the developing native support. So you may be in less of a crunch than you think. Unless you are pushing the limits of the SVG implementation in ASV.
It looks as if the browser vector graphics market is up in the air. SVG or Flash or SilverLight or whatnext. What basket do you put your eggs in? Since you already have a mature application in SVG, you might wait to see how it all shakes out. I also would like to see Renesis mature. I tried it on my app, which runs happily under ASV and Firefox, but it was confused. Or maybe I am!
