A different look at the matrix effect by pom

One of my favourites. I was playing around with the original one from the kirupaLab by pom. and i came up with this . the ripple effect on the chain is tweened (check the large mc in the middle of the stage) i was wondering whether it could be scripted coz i tthink that would involve duplicating the thing while its moving and is there a way to make the foremost letter glow?
