RE: FLASH: SVG?

[Damien Morton]

Hmm, I heard this from one of our very own. Someone we all know, and someone

who, I assume, has fairly close connections with Macromedia.


I have always felt that Macromedia is somewhat ambivalent about their 'open

swf' initiative. I havent seen or heard anything regarding 'openness' amid

the flurry of Flash 5 announcements, and any queries I have made on various

newsgroups or through MM contacts have been ignored.


So here it is again, for any Macromedians that might be able to answer. What

is the current Macromedia position on the 'open swf' initiative they

announced last year.
