sorry for the long title BUT seriously! Why does Flash/AS3 even support CSS at all since it does such a poor job of it! It doesn't even make it to supporting CSS2, and 3 is right around the corner. And the subset it does support in CSS1 is laughable. Ok, done venting. Does anyone know of a way to improve it's performance or a custom class that will do a better job of parsing and manipulating CSS in AS3?

Thanks!
