Currently I have two methods but those are a little bit boring and take a some time.

Lots of 2d vector programs have the feature you talk about and it might be worth it if you have to do it often.

Expression 3.3 is still available for free and can be downloaded here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/5/d/a5d625a5-2e3d-4e9c-8608-6de48d7b569f/CreatureHouseExpression3_3.exe

You can export a Ai file from Moi2d and open it with expression.
Selecting the two path and then click on Object/Blend Paths in the menu.


Expression 3 had also an incredible effects line engine.
It's very sad developers had left the direction it was going.

Hi there,

Here's my solution of how to solve this problem: http://vimeo.com/22265766

It's a complex and time-consuming thing but at least it's made entirely with MoI.

Hi PlasmaFX - there is a plugin called LineWeb which can automate that process that you're doing there - you can get the plugin from here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3666.10

Then for example on 2 curves like this:



Select those 2 curves and run LineWeb a first time to build connecting lines like this:



Then select those connecting lines and run LineWeb another time, and it will build curves between those lines in the other direction, like this:



Set the option for "Build: Curves" to build smooth curves going through the sampled points instead of lines.

That will actually do the same process as in your video (making some spaced points and then drawing curves through them), just automated.

- Michael
