Re: X. On Ubuntu 10.04, at least, SVG support is included in libwebkit which GTK uses, although strangely I haven't been able to get SMIL animation to work.
Being in SVG conference in Paris on September 2010 it was confirmed that my SVG clips which I did in 2006 (wonderries.mobi) does yet not play right with WebKit. I wonder why my clips was playing right on Nokia devices which are using WebKit? In 2006 Nokia was using Real player which included Adobe SVG code. Then my clips played only when going to the full screen mode. Maybe it comes from there? Also Nokia QT toolkit specifies SVG library separately from WebKit functions.

A perhaps better (and open) alternative to Air may be GTK+ with embedded Webkit. I've been playing around with it, and it's actually quite nice and easy to work with, although I haven't tried it on Windows or Mac OS X. On Ubuntu 10.04, at least, SVG support is included in libwebkit which GTK uses, although strangely I haven't been able to get SMIL animation to work. Also related, if you're interested in developing RIA's for GNOME, Seedkit is worth watching, as it gives you the Webkit runtime, and exposes native GTK and GNOME objects to the scripting environment: http://live.gnome.org/SeedKit Jake On 10-11-10 06:06 PM, Dailey, David P. wrote: > > Citing the marvels of <canvas> and new CSS features, Adobe has > disabled the SVG support in AIR.
