Is there any editor that can be used to draw or export custom shapes

Is there any editor that can be used to draw or export custom shapes as spark path data?

I know it can be sort of roughly done with illustrator and catalyst but it’s really cumbersome to use for some one-off operations..

I just want to be able to draw some vector shapes and export them as spark paths basically.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

    I attempted to do the same thing and after hours of surfing search engines I had no joy. The ideas discussed in this post gave me an idea; which I hope you will find useful.

    I wanted the Spark Path Data for a Question Mark Icon; using Illustrator CS4 I took the following steps:

    1. Create a new New Document

    2. Select the “Text Tool” and entered a question mark onto the stage

    3. Adjust the font, size, weight etc…

    4. Select the “Selection Tool”

    5. Right click the question mark on the stage and select “Create Outlines”

    6. Save As

    7. Select FXG as the file type

    8. Open the resulting .fxg file in a XML or Text Editor

    9. There you will find the Path Data, which I pasted into a .mxml component

    Worked a treat for the question mark – hope this helps.
