I contacted author of patch. He said
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I indeed posted a patch to Inkscape that enables a "Save as Flash
(.swf)" option. I am currently waiting to see what the Inkscape
developers think of this.

I have some reservations on relying on an external svg2swf tool to do
the job, because given current Inkscape architecture, that would mean
that that tool would have to fully parse the svg file itself. This,
IMHO, is wrong. An extension should be able to rely on Inkscape's
document object model, and need not parse SVG itself. Therefore, my
patch has been implemented as an internal extension.

Have you looked at http://gordon.sf.net/libsvgtoswf/ ? It already
contains a command-line svgtoswf tool, but as I said, for Inkscape, I
do not think that is the correct approach.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have looked a patch. It's intrernal extension.
In this case inkscape will require ming library.
We have discussed it earlier. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note, however, that SWF export should be implemented as an extension
(which is a separate binary, which can be packaged separately by
distributions).

I don't want to introduce a ming dependency in the main binary.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So I continue work with my old code. At this time my work in stage "1. To alter an existing code (to make order from chaos). "
I rewrite now <animate> and <animateMotion> support. There is basic support of <circle>, <ellipse>,
<path>, <rect>, <line> ( this what I tested at SVG testsuite ).

I can post weekly tarballs at my SF site. And also results of test at SVG testsuite.

As idea to make fit_text_to_path.
Convert each letter to Bezier paths then place them on curve.
    

Actually SVG-compliant textPath support is in CVS already. It's not
being announced because it is read-only so far (Fred and me are
working on that).

Anatoly, what's the progress with swf stuff? Have you contacted the
other patch's author?
