Fuse is really really bad IMO for tweening when performance (like with
your complex vector graphic) is a concern.  I dropped it because it
became unusable for me in high stress situations.  My current
tweener-of-the-month I like is TweenLite.  

Also, Flash does have a hard time, tweening aside, when very very
complex vector graphics are used.  We designed a very complex
photo-realistic assets representing the inside of an ATM machine, which
took us several days to build, and had performance issues that were
unrelated to any code (we tested it in fresh .flas with no code) - and
these graphics were done with only Flash drawing tools.  We used a ton
of gradients to achieve photo-realistic rendering, but it came with a
price.  The main problem we had was sometimes the Flash player (8 at the
time) would not load the graphic, sometimes it would - completely
random.  We finally got it working fine, but learned there are limits to
what the browser/player/memory can render.  Possible it was related to
the video card too, to be fair.  Anyway, something to keep in mind.
