Rolling (slot machine style) nav bar in Flash or SwishMax

Question

Just wondering if anyone has an ideas on how this rolling (slot machine style) navigation bar was created. Maybe there's a Flash / SwishMax tutorial online somewhere? This effect is very hard to replicate because it animates very quickly onscreen, so any assistance to get me started would be great

Here's a sample of what I am trying to achieve: http://osc4.template-help.com/wt_28854/menu.swf?button=1

Thanks in advance,
