Spring Attack allows Movement+Attack as single Attack action?

[Hypersmurf]

One could argue (somewhat feebly, but still debatable) that the free 5' movement to enter the grappling square after the attack is still 5' of movement even though it does not count against you. You do draw AOO for the movement so it is not that you are not moving, it is just free.

Hmm... good point. That works fine for me

To clarify spring attack...

SPRING ATTACK [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: While using a move action on the ground (including jumping or tumbling) you can take a melee attack action at any point during the move. Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender you attack, though it might provoke attacks of opportunity from other creatures, if appropriate. You can't use this feat if you are wearing heavy armor. You must move at least 5 feet both before and after you make your attack in order to utilize the benefits of Spring Attack.
Normal: Without this feat, you can only take a melee attack action either before or after your move.
Special: A fighter may select Spring Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats.

I think this jives with how they intended spring attack to work.
