You should re-fresh your memory by visiting ZEH's tweening site...
Just wanted to give a shout out and remind that Zeh's original work is sort of the thing that kicked off a lot of this tween engine madness. Zeh's current work is great, I agree! It is very inspiring to me and at one point we even discussed merging our projects. I think the way it went was, Zeh and some dudes at layer51 developed the basic ideas for a tween engine with easy shortcuts, then zigo took that and created a professional grade engine from it. Zigo has moved on and, since I had added around 20 features to his engine in v. 120 he passed the project over to me to update and distribute. Since then I've updated it into an as2 framework that lets more serious developers choose whether they want to alter base prototypes or simply trigger tweens remotely using static method calls. It also includes components for drag-and-drop setup, if you're doing your coding in the timeline.
Fuse for people who don't know, is an extension to the tween engine that lets you build timeline-like sequences with a slim and trim syntax. It also lets you sequence method-calls and fire custom events so it's really an "event sequencer with tween functionality" although its primary use is as an extension to the engine. The goal of my project is to produce a professional-grade tween extension with all the bells and whistles, that remains super easy to use for beginners and equally time-saving and powerful for serious developers.
Here is the latest news - me and the Fuse beta team are working really hard on getting v1.1 public. Besides adding FuseFMP for filters (based on FMP but with more functionality) and bezier tweens, the most impactful thing about this future release is that it will be much more efficient - even more than zigo's original. The sad truth is that the current as2 ZigoEngine isn't very optimized for speed, but the good news it that I'm pushing to get v1.1 out this month before presenting at FlashForward. It's a lot of work and I thanks all the kind folks that are helping me out!
Thanks everyone for your interest and please email me if you have the time to do 1.1 beta testing or want to hook up with v1.0. I am also searching for a good doc writer/editor who can lead a small team (The as2 docs need to be f1-help compatible).
