It would cross-compile if the API surface of such components did not expose the Stage3D APIs (which also means, no fancy transforms on the UI Widgets). If you are just going to use Stage3D to more quickly render rectangular UI Widgets, then the same API should be available in the browser. That said, I still want solid proof that Stage3D is that much faster than the display list for displaying rectangles. I still think the main performance difference folks see is due to overhead in the Flex Framework. -Alex
