Re: FLASH: Tired of the patronizing

[SteveM319]

I never take sides and am not now, sorry but i find information like that 

informative, and it could be useful in the future. even though this is a 

Flash mailing list, you never know how it may relate to Flash in the future.

but who am i?

 The ability to edit SVG content in a text editor was hardly the reason a

 

 text-based format was decided upon. There are several reasons why you'd want

 

 this content to be text based. For one thing, you could "generate" dynamic

 

 SVG content out of any scripting system you'd like (Perl, C++, AppleScript,

 

 etc.), you could view it, change it, author it, all with text commands. This

 

 way, creation of content wouldn't be locked away in a binary format.

 

 Other issues include being XML-based, variable scalability of any region,

 

 interchange with surrounding HTML content (each can drive the other), etc.
