I wasn't suggesting Spark skin classes create DOM objects. I was proposing we write JavaScript replacements to Skin classes that would be used instead. I agree that the component classes themselves would need to be compiled to JavaScript. We therefore have two challenges: 1. Ensuring that our compiler can convert ActionScript to efficient, concise JavaScript. 2. Writing "HTML5" replacements to the component skin classes.
