I managed to get one of my designers' fla animations to compile...

...into a very static (non animated) page.

Apparently it doesn't do dynamic masks, which pretty much rules out any Flash design project I have ever worked on since about 2001.

Also, how is this better than http://smokescreen.us/?

Also, how is this better than http://smokescreen.us/?

I'd say its current advantage is that it exists.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. smokescreen "exists" too - http://smokescreen.us/demos/js/smokescreen.0.1.3-min.js

Is it possible to do anything with that apart from run the existing Smokescreen demos? There's nothing on the site that refers to anything having shipped or even a target ship date.
