That Effect!?! How??

Hi there everybody...
I'd like to ask a simple question regarding those randomly moving objects
(arrows, squares, etc) that we usually see on sites with flash headers.... They
seem really nice and if tied to a nice background they can really make the
difference despite their usually small size.... Everybody seems to be using
them, everybody that is excepts me, who can figure out if this is done by a
specific effects tools used with Flash or they get to create motion tweens
every time they use them.... Is there somewhere i can find out more about
these...?? Do they have a specific name we refer to them....

I would also like to find out about those small lines that seem to follow a
specific line, and kinda make it glow.... It might be the same method used,
with the one above.... but still i don't have a clue...

For example at this site
http://www.avaris-studio.com/comple...main/index.html (picked it up in
here!!) how does he make the grid on the back glow... what about those arrows
and the flashing texts...(in other sites, stuff like that seem to keep
scrolling on the back!)

I tried to find some samples or something at flashkit to see how it is done,
but no luck that the classic motion tweened objects... Any other way??

Thanks in advance for the repsonses!!
