I used to use random, animated lines throughout my site. You can still see evidence of that [here](https://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/animation.htm). A lot of people have asked me how I created that effect.

The effect is nothing more than a movie clip with lines tweened to move left, right, up, and down. There is not much AS involved at all - well, except the few lines making the line movie clips rotate.
