It seems that with 2.5b RunRev is opting to phase out the animation library. I can understand this... I've played with it, but never used it for real. Mostly because it wasn't all that great - though it did have some really nice concepts.

Pretty much anybody who has paid any attention to my posts, knows that I come from a heavy Director background, and in fact still use Director daily, still more than Revolution except when I am deep in a Rev-based project.

At this stage, Rev and Director are moving father apart, with Rev more in line with tools like RealBasic, for "application building" rather than "multimedia building." Though, it is getting to the stage where while Director can make a credible application, Rev will have a harder time making credible multimedia.

So, I ask this... was anyone using the animation library? If so or not, why, or why not? Should it be replaced? If so, with what? What might it look like or do differently than the old library did?

One thought I had is just some sort of time-driven callback list with a graphical interface for setting it up, editing, etc. Then I realized, well that's about what the animation library was...

Hate to see a feature, even a little used one, pass without any discussion at all - especially since, in a certain regard, it changes the development landscape of Rev, and modifies development approach options.

Any thoughts at all?
