They use a method that employs ‘sprites’ but Tim Plumb has recreated it, amongst others, in these examples using the CSS Menu action. Have a look at http://www.deltadzine.net/downloads/CSSMenuexamples4.zip

…and we used the same CSS technique on the three main box panel here:

See for example the middle panel image here: http://www.printlineadvertising.co.uk/Resources/print-cards.png

*tip the CSS image/graphics were created in the same Freeway file using all of Freeway’s graphics capabilities and exported ~ i.e. photoshop was not used at all.
