    Although this could be done in Actionscript through some complex Bezier Tweening, I would doubt this is the case here.

    I think these are bitmaps added one after another, which makes the file quite big.
    I have done something lately that was easier to do in Photoshop, save image after image so you have about 30 and stack them up one after another on the time line, it's boring but quite give very nice results if you don't mind the resulting file size.

    So basically, if you want to know how to do it actionscript, look into the Bezier tween class. If not, find a way to do a similar sequence in Bitmap and animate it in Flash.

    Hope this helps

    The sparkles in the main image pane look like they were done with particleIllusion (a video production effect generator), and probably output as video. It wouldn't take more than half an hour to make that in particleIllusion as it's pretty easy to use. With video, you get some additional filesize saving over individual frames because of the delta compression between frames.
