    the big background one is probably a background image.
    however the line of blur behind the text is maybe a duplication of the text but blurred. this could just be done with the filters or it could be done with code.

    i was looking at the fla download of the quote typer from http://www.braingiants.com/ and theyve got some code in there that duplicated the text (or movie clip) and makes it look like a blurred drop shadow.
    i then googled for more info about the array of variables used intheir code to set the blur property and found a breakdown of what all the elements of the array were.
    i arsed about with changing some of the variables and some of the results were like whats behind the text in the link you posted.
    sorry i cant be more specific, download that braingiants quote typer fla and youl be able to find the code in there for blurproperties.

    i guess you could use it to dynamically blur shapes used in the background. you could then use smoothmotion code to move the shapes around. oo thatd be nice :)
