Hi spritc
Admittedly that is a neat effect! At least, I thought it was
too. <VBEG>
You said:
I wonder how they made the Windows Vista animation? Probably
entirely in Flash hey?
I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky little limb and
say it probably was
NOT created entirely in Flash. I say this because I believe
there is a product line under development at Microsoft called
"Expressions". One of the components of this product is something
that has been referred to as a "Flash Killer". At one point it was
called Sparkle. They also have something new called "Silverlight".
You may see these at
this
link.
As for the glow, I would think someone with Photoshop or
other image editing skills might easily be able to create that
effect and you would then have it in your project.
Cheers... Rick
