http://www.algorithmist.net/composite.html  - fits a piecewise cubic 
bezier spline to a set of knots with G-1 continuity at the joins and 
variable tension (in AS3).

http://www.algorithmist.net/arclengthparam.html  - arc-length 
parameterized Catmull-Rom spline (with a more efficient 
reparameterization method coming in the future).

There are two Flex drivers here,  www.algorithmist.net/as3pc.html ,  
illustrating uniform path motion.

Implementation is currently 2D, but pretty easy to expand to 3D.

I'm not interested in creating an animation or tweening package, so 
Moses is welcome to borrow anything he wants here for future Fuse 
development.

good luck!
