Hello all, I am curious if anyone knows of any tutorials/examples/libraries (Win32) for using 2D vector graphics in programs. I want to use flash to do my art, but c++ for my code, my hope is a look like Parappa tha Rappa, but I suck at art, and flash is easy. Not to limit myself, but I don''t really know DirectX yet. I''m fairly good in OpenGL. I welcome any suggestions.

Actually if anyone knows a method to convert the file to a more approriate format that would also work.

You don''t need DirectX. OpenGL will work equally well, except that it''s easier to learn.

Anyway, you''d want to study how Flash works internally, it''s fileformat etc., so have a look at openswf.org to find sources and so on.

I vaguely recall that someone wrote an OpenGL accelerated flash plugin for linux - and if you''re in luck, it''s GPL and you can use it in your project (if yours is GPL too that is)
