Re: FLASH: SVG and Flash: What does MM say?

[Matt]

No, I meant the "graphical" text was selectable, i.e., if I insert, say a text

header in Flash, and don't specify it as selectable, the user won't be able to

drag-select it, or use "Find" to search the document and find it, as you would

with a regular HTML page, and as you can with SVG.


Don't get me wrong, this isn't an SVG vs. Flash thing, but some features in

SVG are interesting, and it would be nice if SWF's  were more open to search

engines, find functions, and users. And Adobe seems to think it's the bee's

knees (at least on their SVG page), so naturally I was curious about what MM

was thinking.
