Hi Andreas I hadn't actually *tried* it, so your feedback is useful. I thought it would be a bit smarter than that, and would translate sprite animations into the equivalent DOM graphic + animation, but I guess timeline-based things like tweening have no corollary in SVG.
I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that a completely different vector animation model would be hard to convert in this way. Personally, I'd prefer it if they made Flex capable of outputting "HTML5", which actually might be an easier path. Or yes, make a tool designed for the purpose. Flex would be a pretty good starting point for that, I'd have thought.
