SVG helps with an elegant technique for "addressible" vector graphics. As opposed to explicitly calling methods to draw circles, squares, lines, etc...it provides an declarative, XML-based mechanism for doing so. Also, since the XML elements are "addressible", by manipulating the XML (appearance attributes, for example), you can dynamically control the visual appearance. It would be nice if this functionality was SVG-based, since there are dozens of mainstream drawing tools that can save as SVG. Hope that helps. Have someone contact me off-list if you need more info. - Rick

Hi,
What is the problem you want to solve with SVG-T on the mainstream Flash
Player? Describe your use case. I'll get it to the team,
Regards,
David

David:
One "convergence" question for you (or product marketing):
Ironically, Flash Player "Lite" has support for SVG-T, but Flash/Flex
do not (only embedding of static SVG on the server-side for Flex). Any plans
to add the SVG-T capabilities to the mainstream Flash Player? I would
certainly encourage it, and I know your new friends at Adobe can help <g>.
Best regards,

Hi,
Good catch Ian. While today was not a product announcement, we are
talking more about the long term roadmap for both the Flash Player and
Flex. The whitepaper his some high-level information on both.
