Hi everyone

I’ve found an interesting looking site originally done with Swish.  
I’d like to reproduce 2 effects I saw there with Flash MX 2004.

The effect is :

The minute the site loads, you see a bright glowing effect surrounding the edges of the site. the effect last for less than a second. Right after this effect it transforms into a shadow.  
How can I do these glow/shadow effects ?

Here is the link to the site :

(click on ‘enter’)

Any help will greatly be appreciated

Thanks
