I have myself been trying to figure this one out with not much luck … as you can see there is a on press function if you just press but dont scroll you can see the effect just at the two ends of the bar … and it almost seems to have properties  
much like a mouse trail how it leaves duplicate movieclips as it scrolls … oh well  
all I can say is it is one of the most impressive little details on any site I have seen so far …

we need a flash hero to help us out on this one … or even just a push in the right direction …

it seems that there would be a buble… a circle movie clip that when played it shrinks (is that the word?)  
And you have on press… a start drag of the scrollbar and maybe an onEnterFrame for the scrollbar or bubles… with a gotoAndPlay(“fade\_bubble”) whenever is a hit test between any bubble and the scrollbar.  
Did I made myself clear? Excuse my english.
