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.
