Hi All, Today, I could barely breathe but don't worry. Asthma was my childhood problem that is just menacing to return. Now I have better knowledge and mental resources to recover faster :)

SVG was Adobe's idea to replace Macromedia Flash with an open standard. So, just try to imagine everything that SVG was/is supposed to do. In theory, you should be able to recreate any Shockwave Flash movie using SVG (and Javascript). Only in theory. Some months ago, we had a similar opinions exchange. Back then, I wrote that LC team would implement a bitmap image SVG viewer for SVG Basic or SVG Tiny specifications without implementing interaction, hyperlinking and animation: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/conform.html There are two sub-categories of Conforming SVG Viewers: Conforming Static SVG Viewers and Conforming Dynamic SVG Viewers Conforming Static SVG Viewers support the static language features of SVG that correspond to the feature string "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/feature/1.2/#SVG-static"; (see Feature strings). This category often corresponds to platforms and environments which only render static documents, such as printers... Ok, now you want to learn my opinion: How could RunRev implement SVG Basic or SVG Tiny in LC 8? Similar to other media: Images, Sounds and Movies. Set the SVGdata of Image id 1523 to mySVGfile... When you import a SVG into LC, the engine renders a bitmap static image of the vector file. This image could be resized and the engine reads vector data again and paints the bitmap representation of this SVG as an image. Do you want to create an animation from a series of static SVG files? Use a repeat structure, just like we use to animate a PNG image. Please, Runrev do not try, not even try to import editable SVG as single vector controls. Neither provide an internal visual editor for SVG files. Remember that LC does not includes either and Editor for movies, sounds and images. Just my 2 cents. :) Alejandro -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Thanks-to-Dr-Richard-E-Hawkins-Esq-tp4702131p4702176.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
