I've posted a path data testing utility in case anyone's interested: http://flextip.blogspot.com/2010/03/spark-path-utility.html Do you mind if I use some of your examples as samples?

Also, if you want to round-trip FXG file assets between Flex 4 and the rest of CS4 then by definition you are using FXG. FXG is for drawing (and transforms and filters), but Degrafa is a framework with a whole lot more (Repeaters, CSS, complete runtime SVG support as Greg mentions, etc.). I'm confident the Degrafa team will be able to figure out how to leverage FXG as part of the underlying rendering pipeline, while porting over all the other good stuff to Flex 4. @Andrew: If you use Catalyst, then there is no choice, you are using FXG.

Trivia note: SVG discussions first started in 1996: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/ScalableReq Didn't take off until after folding in Adobe's PGML from 1998: http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-210111.html jd/adobe Thanks for the overview, orientation.

Why was FXG developed if Degrafa does most everything you need? Seriously, could someone explain a circumstance to me where I'd choose FXG if I'm already familiar with Degrafa?

Just a quick correction, though: Degrafa does support the full range of svg commands, including the arcTo A command (and relative 'a'). You're right though about FXG it currently does not. The value in this for degrafa is that you can load svg paths at runtime and be confident that no matter what it is, it will render correctly. Once again, a great write up!.
