Hello, I'm working on a solution to have a fully open source complement to the Adobe package for coding in Flex and AS3. I'm using FlashDevelop for coding and currently I'm looking in to using InkScape SVG to bake SWF:s.
It works pretty well, but I can see some room for improvement. Currently everything is baked individually as MovieClips, meaning first there are all objects, then all groups with their objects and finally the layers with objects, groups and their objects. Seems a bit redundant (as everything is stored multiple times), not to say hard to navigate, resulting in unnecessarily cumbersome manual coding as you need to write long lists or clever use of arrays. Would it be possible to implement a little bit of hierarchy and have sprites and children instead on layers and groups? This way it would make more sense with adding a layer to the stage, having its children automatically added too. Then add other layer on top and cycle through their children and add eventlisteners and such only as needed. Think user interface and buttons. Cheers! S.
