hi! i posted in the Inkscape forum my first approaches about vectorial animation with swftools swfc, and how i am interested to help on a python-based converter between animated-svg and swfc formats
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=819&p=6380#p6380
do someone know where from can i get samples of simple svg animations, and where can i test them?
I am very interested in this topic too!
Inkscape already has command line tools to convert svg to png and swftools has tools to convert png to swf.
I should be able to write a Python or Bash script to convert a bunch of files, which of course I will share if anyone is interested.
Does anyone know if there is a way to create a hotkey function(on Linux) to auto-increment a save as? For example 1.svg, 2.svg, 3.svg etc.....
Would this not help to take the tedium out of creating many frames?
If there is not one, could someone guide me to the portion of the code that contains the save as code? perhaps I could come up with something. -Patrick

A file per frame is probably the least efficient approach for SVG animation.
There are two main approaches for it in SVG. The first is declarative SMIL type animation where <animate> <set> <animateMotion> and <animateColor> are used to animate things. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/animate.html#Animation.class
The second is animation via DOM manipulation. This can be done different ways, including via javascript. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/animate.html#DOMAnimationExample
Among the other advantages over bare flip-book style is that animations can be run at different frame rates without any changes. The sources are also much smaller.
Hi,
Back in the days when I candidated for GSOC, I wrote some introductory pages about SVG Animation and UI ideas on the wiki:

cheers, Christophe
