• First, edit “dont_customize_me.as” and place the following code at line 92:
  if (letterSpacing != null) fmt.letterSpacing = Number(letterSpacing);
• Next, edit “sifr.js” on line 7:
  Where it says “var a=6;” change the 6 to an 8. This ensures that you’re detecting for Flash v8.
• Where you make your replacement calls add the following to sFlashVars:
  sFlashVars:"textalign=center&offsetTop=6&letterSpacing=3"
• Lastly, be sure to save your font SWFs as Flash 8, with Actionscript 2.0 enabled using the “Publish Settings…” menu.

But, this only works for titles of 1 line long. Longer titles won’t wrap anymore but will be scaled down instead. To fix this I guess you still have to upgrade to sIFR 3.

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. If you click the “Export” tab, you can export the map you are viewing as a .jpg , .png , .svg , .pdf or postscript file. The .svg , .pdf or postscript options all produce vector images. Unfortunately, all the images will only have one layer.

For a project I was doing, I needed to export a route I had drawn in Google Maps to a path I could use in Illustrator. This is how I did it:

• Create your route in Google Maps.
• Save it in “My Maps”.
• Click on the “View in Google Earth” link (in the blue bar above the map right).
• You can now download your route as a .kml file.
• Surf to app.indiemapper.com
• Click on the “LAUNCH Indieprojector” button.
• Now open the downloaded .kml file.
• After successfully opening the .kml file, click on the “export” button (top right).
• Save the .svg file.
• Open the saved .svg file in Illustrator.
• Done!

But after some surfing, I found out the way to vectors is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). And after some more surfing, I found Degrafa. This is an open source declarative graphics framework in Flex. And with it, it looks relatively easy to generate a SVG image from Flex (example). And an SVG image can be converted to a PDF serverside or clientside, or edited in programs like Adobe Illustrator.

So, no (vector based) PDF from an SWF, but an SVG from Flex; that’s pretty close.
