Does anyone actually USE the Animation Builder?

[Devin Asay]

All,

I'm trying to figure out why animations built in the Animation Builder 
perform so miserably once you've left the AB environment. I've searched 
the archives and have found several queries on this subject, but no one 
seems to know the answer.

Specifically, if you create an animation in the AB it plays back 
smoothly as long as you are in that environment. But as soon as you 
close the Animation Builder window and try to play back the animation 
using revPlayAnimation, the playback is jerky, jumpy and generally 
unacceptable. This behavior does not improve when you compile the stack 
as a standalone executable.

So back to my original question: Can animations created in the 
Animation Builder actually be used in applications, or is the AB just a 
fun toy to play around with?
