FlexJS Effects

I noticed that Effects is not using CSS. Is there a reason for that? I assume that CSS3 would be more performant.

Is CSS3 in all browsers and runtimes we care about like IE9?  It would be
totally fine to have another CSS3Effects.swc that does effects for CSS3,
just like I expect the HTML5.swc to contain components specific to HTML5.

I have not compares the Greensock Flash and JS APIs, but in my dreams,
Greensock would become a FlexJS "customer" and provide common APIs for
both of their libraries so we wouldn't have to do any work, and they could
license it any way they want.  Really, I would love the CreateJS folks to
take over our CreateJS SWC and similar for Jquery.  We mainly did them as
proof-of-concept.

My 2 cents,

I’m also wondering about a GSAP wrapper. I don’t know whether we can do it in the Flex repo because I don’t think GSAP has a compliant license.[1] But a FlexJS wrapper for GSAP could be very useful. It might be a good candidate for the flex-extras Github repo.

That part I don't know about, but I think it must be a "to-do" item. The
CreateJS project either uses CreateJS effects for the HTML side or it uses
the FlexJS library for the SWF side.
