What can I do for Fuse?

 Say Thanks, where it counts

± Independent Designers + Developers

Ask yourself: How much time will I save by using Fuse over a number of projects? If that's a positive number, multiply it by your hourly rate. If that's an even bigger number, you've made money by using Fuse.

Instead of charging $100 per download, Fuse is offered to everyone free of charge. Thousands of hours have gone into bringing you this helpful product. If it has indeed helped you in your professional work, do the right thing by making a quick donation of perhaps $20 - $100. (That's around €15-75 or  ¥2,400-12,000.)

Some donate a small amount for each project Fuse helps them with, which is a clean-cut way to say Thank You. Be assured that every donation makes a difference.

Thank you sincerely to those who have donated one or more times already!

Fuse helped me. Thanks.

± Creative Agency Employees

If your company uses Fuse on a regular basis and has a Flash team of three or more, please forward the following PDF (or a link to it) to your Manager or Financial Officer — or if that's you, simply click the link to read the document.

This is a pitch letter for a contribution to the Fuse project, designed to speak directly to an agency executive. It makes sense, because your company is the real end consumer of any software you use at work.

Employees: In your email, you can help your boss make a well-founded decision to become a Fuse Sponsor by letting him or her know the benefits of Fuse. Most valuably, how many hours would you estimate Fuse may have saved your team over recent projects?

—

If the above does not fit your company but you are able to expense software purchases, a $100 payment is firmly encouraged for each company employee who uses Fuse.

If your company cannot contribute to Fuse in any of these ways, please consider making a small personal donation.

Thank you sincerely to Fuse's Sponsors!

 Help improve the product

Fuse has thousands of users in over 60 countries worldwide. It's evolved into a solid, stable and feature-rich product as users report bugs and recommend features. If something does not work as you feel it should, please post the issue or suggestion to the fuse mailing list. (The Fuse Forum, though great for general help and discussion, will not receive a fast response on bug reports.)

± Steps to follow if you've found a bug

1. Start a new FLA or class file.
2. Paste in just the code and physical assets needed to show the problem. Simplify code as needed.
3. Now that you've isolated the issue, study related docs carefully and experiment with your code to find what breaks it or makes it work.
4. When you've cornered the bug, zip up the clean sample FLA and any other files, and email them to Moses (link at the Fuse site) with your findings.

Fuse is Open Source. You can weed out problems, add features and modify the classes yourself. If you come up with something everyone can use, pass it to Moses for consideration in the next official release!
