Fuse Kit

Fuse Kit is a very nice set of classes, that when added to Flash, add a way to easily tween movieclips in tons of ways. The description below is the beginners "simpleSetup" mode only. There are a number of ways to use Fuse Kit. This is the easiest-to-understand way.

You need to first install Fuse Kit. Installing this MXP installs new classes into Flash.

Next use this code to import the classes into your code:

   import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
   ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts, PennerEasing, FuseFMP);

To set a simple property for a movieClip without tweening:

  my_mc.Blur_blur=20;

NOTE: To see what these cool new properties are, go to Flash Help FuseKit2.2/ mosessupposes.fuse/ Shortcuts

To set a simple property for a movieClip with tweening:

  my_mc.slideTo(300, 300, 2);
  my_mc.rotateTo(180, 2);
  my_mc.colorTo("#ffffff", 10)
  my_mc.scaleTo(10, 4)
  my_mc.Blur_blurXTo(50, 1, "easeInOutElastic", 2);

Fuse Kit 2.1 also installs a cool tweening pallette into Flash. Go to Window>Other Panels>customEasingTool2 to see the tweens and even make up your own.

If you put a number in quotes, it will add or subtract the number. For example, if a movieclip._alpha = 90, using "10" in the Fuse command will tween it up from 90 to 100. Using 10 will tween the alpha to 10. See "Know your relatives" in the PDF below for a better explanation.
