So if I have a fine grained animation that moves along a complex curve, I will have to have potentially hundreds of translate animations in my anim file? Just to implement the S movement, along a HVGA screen, I could see a lot of linear translate animations in the animation set. How long will the xml parser take to even read the file leave alone animating. Not sure I entirely agree with this method for complex animations.
