Ian's right: it's separate vector graphics in Flash.

The thing that makes this ultra easy in Flash and ultra challenging in Rev
is you can't easily scale a group (why? it's almost 2010 -- we should have
flying cars and scaling groups in Rev should be a given by now).

If you're going to try it in Rev, there's no need to use images -- graphics
should work -- and you *might* get better performance using graphics, but
then again, handling of numerous objects of any type at large size often
slows down Rev, so images may be the way to go.
