Hmmm... well, for the record, my art is currently just stored as a plain ol' Graphic in my Flash IDE library (after tracing it from a bitmap) although I can convert it to other formats if need be. I was hoping Flash had some way of getting at the vector data, given that it's storing it internally already.
In any case, I'm not working in Flex at the moment, so Defraga doesn't seem like it would help this current project, but you're right; it definitely looks cool... --T On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 4:57 PM, Nate Beck <n...@tldstudio.com> wrote: > A big issue here is that you need a format that can be parsed at runtime. > Which I'm quickly finding out is not all that easy to do with the new > Adobe > Format...
