What's behind this Flash effect? 1

[codehopper]

Hi all,
has anyone seen this site? The main page has an amazing cursor effect done in Flash... as you move mouse, it leaves a red trail, which actually MORPHS and fades out. It also leaves little moving stars in its wake. How do they achieve this? Any help appreciated!!
