No one told me you could put svg in swf's, I do XAML for a few months and everything in the flash world has changed!!

I finally got the flex3 sdk mxmlc to compile as3 from textmate unsing the as3 and flex bundles, with an embeded svg graphic created in inkscape and then still from textmate I open the index.html to display it.

Might be old news to some but to me my mouth is wide open.

package {
//import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.DisplayObject;

[SWF( backgroundColor='0xFFFFFF', frameRate='30', width='200', height='200')]
public class Main extends Sprite
{
    private var textField: TextField;
    [Embed(source='circle.svg', mimeType='image/svg')]
    protected const EmbeddedSVG:Class;

    public function Main()
    {   

        textField = new TextField();
        textField.text = "Test2.";
        var svg![k](/images/smilies/grin.gif)isplayObject = DisplayObject( new EmbeddedSVG() );
        addChild(svg);
        addChild(textField);

    }        
}

}
