Yes, my assumption that Adobe created SVG to replace Flash is wrong, but that is how it was perceived. SVG was perceived as Flash replacement... "To keep Mozilla competitive, allow SVG to reach its full potential, and help kill Flash..." "Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering when SVG will become Flash. Or am I comparing apples and oranges here?" "SVG replaces PDF (Acrobat format). SVG plus SMIL replaces SWF (Flash format), as replacing SWF for use in animated presentations... http://tech.slashdot.org/story/04/03/24/1413207/svg-and-the-free-desktops "Scalable Vector Graphics: It's text based (XML actually), it's an open standard, it can be created dynamically, it's graphics, it's text, it's interactive, it's zoomable, it's animated, it's ready to replace Flash. It's SVG." http://www.johnandrea.ca/svg/ "Will SVG replace Flash? Not likely. Certainly not any time soon. Will SVG evolve into a useful tool for creating scriptable vector graphics? We think it will." http://alistapart.com/article/smil and there are a lot more comments like these all around the web. Specially, after Adobe bought Macromedia and left their own SVG plugin (Adobe SVG viewer) to die in the hands of their users. Anyway, the past is long gone. SVG Tiny 1.1 is what we need in LiveCode (without interaction, animation and hyperlinking).
