How do they do this?

OK see the flash banner here http://www.unitedhosting.co.uk/
How do they get those little streams going all around the wires and stuff. Is that just frame by frame animation?

Hi,
That can be done using animation with a guide layer, or possibly with masks.
I expect it could be done with code, but I really wouldn’t know how !

Hi,
If you open the help section in MX ( press F1) you will find there how to do masks and guide layers, also there is a tute somewhere on this site for masking in MX - its all pretty straightforward stuff
