How'd they do it?

Flash in question (after the loader):
http://www.salesforce.com/assets/swf/homepage_r12.swf

Two questions:

• What program would you guess this was produced in? (After Effects maybe?)
• Since it's clearly raster, what is the best way of importing it into Flash, while retaining good quality without a huge load time?

Funny, I'm just barely getting into AE, & someone who wanted something like those on SalesForce actually directed me to those exact ones as examples of what he wanted!

So I'm just subscribing here to see what help is offered

well, judging on how after it loads I see nothing I'm going to say it's brought into flash as an flv progressively downloaded with the loader allowing you to "buffer" your download. I'm at work and I get a lot of FLV's blocked; that's how I've come to this conclusion. Furthermore, many astonishing things people post about here have been done with AE and most AE projects are brought into flash as FLV's. I'll take a look at it at home later and see if I can do more than assume.
