I ran into the same problem with the popular tweening engines like Fuse kit. Awesome features, but I just couldn't afford the overhead & bloat, so I built TweenLite which adds only about 2k to your file and has all the essentials. You can build in a delay for any tween which allows you to sequence things. Snag the class at:
http://www.greensock.com/actionscript/tweenlite/ I certainly can't claim it's the ideal solution in all cases, but maybe someone will find it helpful. Also, regarding your sequential preload issue, I wrote a class for that too. It does allow you to prioritize an asset anytime and it has several other features you may find useful. Check it out at: http://www.greensock.com/actionscript/PreloadAssetManager/ Good luck.

Best way todo this? To: Flashcoders mailing list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have found a major issue with the Fuse kit - it's huge and has huge overhead. It's a great set of classes, does some neat things, don't get me wrong, but I found that using it in code-intensive app brought it down and made it unusable. I switched back to the built-in Tween and Transition classes in the same application and using the onMotionFinished event and such things went back to normal. I only respond because you were asking for the "best way to do this". - this was just my experience.
