Hey,

I wonder if Rails is already or planning to get integrated with an  
animation framework? It may be a javascript library or some runtime  
environment like flash has.

I know a bit about [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us) but besides its animated effects, I  
dont see any animation library which we can use to animate anything on  
the page with an effect. I think Yahoo UI has animation library but I  
dont think rails developers use Yahoo UI so much.

I almost always have to use flash for the animated part of my rails  
pages and that makes me feel uncomfortable with the actionscripts and  
flash environmental things.

thanks to everybody
