Yes. I also heard him say he wanted to view content worldwide. [[[ We want to publish SVGT fomat worldwide, not other fomat. Thank-you for worldwide web search in my requirement. We will publishing worldwide contnet of SVGT for open customers. I will response corpoirate customer of Japan with open standard solution. ]]] > Do > you have any info which can help him?

Gee, I understand why this would be the quickest way for you to get SVG support, but I doubt it will easily maintainable. Will you do the same for scripting in SVG (translate to Actionscript with appropriate wrappers around the native swf objects)? Unless Macromedia doesn't have any plans to continue its SVG support? Then there is the question of performance. You're effectively implementing a virtual machine for SVG on a device with limited processing power while your competitors are doing it natively. > (In Europe SVG was forced > via 3GPP, but I haven't seen as much interest in Asia, but my knowledge > is not complete.) Do you mean that SVG support was forced on handset manufacturers or forced on Macromedia? SVG support on today's handsets was not "forced" by 3GPP. The 3GPP members, including the major handset manufacturers such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and the operators such as Vodafone and Orange, were the people that developed SVG Tiny (within the W3C). They wanted an open interoperable standard - so they made it and are now delivering it. Unfortunately Macromedia chose not to participate in this process but I can't believe you consider this to be "forced". If you meant that Macromedia will only deliver SVG were you are "forced" to then I'm glad you're listening to your customers. > Your suggestion, above, seems impossible to > implement... like saying "I like the seats in this automobile, but can > we ditch the engine?" I didn't know you'd implemented SVG on top of Flash. However, since there are plenty of native SVG implementations shipping on lots of handsets I'm surprised that Macromedia think that this is impossible. You've got smart engineers. I'm sure they could manage it. I hear that Macromedia are reimplementing the FlashLite engine. Maybe now is the time to get the impossible feature request in :) BTW - should we fix the typo in the subject?
