Fuse kit is pretty much the most useful Flash extension that a designer could posses at the moment. I have been using the Zigo tweening engine for a long time, and started beta testing Fuse for Moses Gunesch at www.mosessupposes.com a few months back. Fuse now seems to be on public release and trust me, it’s a gem.
If your not familiar with the Robert Penner or Zigo tweening prototypes (you live in a cave) - both these extensions effectively provide shortcuts for tweening objects in Flash using Actionscript, as well as providing the ability to create tweens of your own (by customizing the easing).
The greatest thing about Fuse is that it allows you to create queues of tweens that execute systematically and in series, meaning that with a few lines of code you can dynamically reposition / resize / rescale (etc) objects. You can also pause, cancel and reuse these tweens.
So my sincere respect to Zigo, Penner and Gunesch for making life much easier for the comparitively actionscript illiterate such as myself.
Check out the documentation on the website, join the forum and ‘get Fused’ Fuse Kit…

These scripts are cool, I cant use the new ones with advanced code yet, I still use the old lmc_tween syntax.
But what you can do is amazing, and I love the ‘tween que’ functionality!
