An ActionScript 3 library that parses and renders SVG files into interactive Flash display objects.
AS3SVGRenderer is an open-source ActionScript 3 library that parses SVG files and translates them into Flash display objects. It allows developers to render scalable vector graphics directly within Flash Player applications, maintaining the SVG structure for interactivity. The library includes an asynchronous parser to handle large files without freezing the application.
Flash and Flex developers who need to integrate SVG graphics into their ActionScript 3 projects, particularly those building interactive applications or visual tools that require vector graphic support.
It provides a native SVG rendering solution for Flash Player, enabling direct interaction with SVG elements and offering multiple text rendering engines. Unlike basic SVG import methods, it preserves the SVG document structure, allowing for detailed mouse/touch interactions.
An AS3 SVG Renderer for Flash Player.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses ProcessExecutor to distribute processing across frames, preventing application freezes when rendering large SVG files, as highlighted in the README's usage section.
Supports three text rendering engines (TextField, TLF, FTE) and handles right-to-left scripts, subscript, and superscript, offering flexibility for different typographic needs.
Rendered display objects retain the SVG hierarchy, enabling direct mouse/touch interactions with individual elements, which is a core feature for building interactive graphics.
Includes a ready-to-use Flex component for easy embedding of SVG graphics in MXML applications, simplifying integration for Flex developers.
Only supports basic filters like ColorMatrix and GaussianBlur, missing many advanced SVG filters, which restricts visual effects capabilities.
Does not support SVG animations, a key omission listed in the README, making it unsuitable for dynamic or animated vector graphics.
Requires Flash Player 10+, an obsolete technology for modern web development, limiting its use to legacy systems or specific, outdated environments.
Lacks support for text strokes and SVG scripting, reducing functionality for stylized text or interactive, script-driven graphics.
