Moses Gunesch the creator of FuseKit created a very nice open-source tool called TweenBencher. The utility can be used to chart animation performance through the Flash Player’s framerate over the time of the animation. This is a really nice tool and goes a long way to helping developers figure out which animation package to use and for what reasons.

My results showed that the top performers were (in order):

1. Simple AS3 Tween (could not find a link for this one)
2. TweenLite
3. Tweener

Here is the output of my tests for every animation framework that is listed in the demo application.

My friend Aaron Smith has created a really great open source project for Flash and Flex remoting called RubyAMF. This project supports AMF0 and the very fast AMF3. Go check it out if you get a chance!
