Vectorize green flag overlay

This is a really really really minor suggestion, but I always get annoyed at the way the green flag overlay (the one that appears after the project first loads) seems to scale badly. I think it should be replaced with a vector image. This should be pretty easy to implement (though I know nothing about images in Flash). I have created the overlay which can be found here. Or, you can simply paste the following into a text editor and save it as an SVG file:
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” standalone=“no”?>

I know this is a really tiny thing, but hopefully it should be easy to implement.

If the suggestion hasn't been implemented - or explicitly rejected - then it is still relevant and we are interested in more input on it. So it's not a necropost

Sorry. So this is the only forum where one can “necropost” and get away with it?

From ITopic - What is Necroposting and when should it be reported? [Guide]
Is it ever okay to necropost?

Yes. If you believe you have something to add to the subject that no one else has mentioned, and the topic is still relevant or unresolved, you can give your input; it may spark new discussion! However, do some searching and make sure the subject hasn't been resolved or continued on somewhere else since then. In addition, some topics, such as Show and Tell threads, are never too old to post in. Since those are there for you to give feedback, rather than hold a discussion, you can always leave a comment for the maker. There's nothing like bringing a great project that has been forgotten back into the limelight.
Or a great idea. The overlay looks great and an SVG one has not yet been implemented.

So expressing support for a solution to this unresolved issue is relevant.

In another forum, with a relevant topic, it also would not be necroposting in the sense against the rules.
