If that is not required, ignore what I said. If I understand the flow correctly, we will have an AS skin class that references an SVG document. The compiler parses the SVG document (like it does with FXG today) and will generate AS code that uses the Graphics component to draw stuff in Flash. On the JS side, we will have a similar Graphics component with same drawing API, except that the code draws SVG onto the HTML DOM. I believe you will figure out the SVG parser part. I can take care of creating the Graphics component on AS and JS versions. Am I on the right track? Thanks, Om > -Alex > >
