view SVG in flash?

does someone know if it is possible to take a SVG and feed it into flash and use flash to display? there are more flash players around then SVG plugins. It would also be a nice way of reusing GUIs in multiple flash films or even generating them on the fly outside of flash, sending them around via the builtin XML socket. Or does flash have something like that builtin? useing the drawAPI seems a bit clumsy to me

  • Hello,

    3 answers, none of them perfect:

    a) Macromedia Flex can convert static SVG to SWF (Flash) on the server and embed in a Flex application. Not support for everything in SVG.

    b) Macromedia Flash Lite 1.1 (available on some cell phones now and growing very rapidly) supports SVG-T.

    c) Deng is an open source project that renders SVG in SWF as well. http://claus.packts.net/w3blog/index.php?id=57

    I don't know if any of these will meet your needs, but HTH,

  • DENG seems promising
    what exactly is Macromedia Flex? is it like ColdFusion? am i right in assuming macromedia flash lite 1.1 is liek the normal flash player just that it is made for devices like mobile phones?
    will check with the macromedia web page later

    cheers for your comment, actually I think you are the first person to comment that I did not tell about the blog,]]
    a real first post that is.
