Adaptive sweep features

[cadmate]

I am trying to create a ribbon cable with din connectors at each end.When the ends are plugged into mating parts, the cable will stretch, unplugged then will compress.
I have created the cable using the sweep tool but i cannot make it adaptive, so i dont get the effect of a hanging cable. Also i need to create a presentation file and animate this operation and save as an AVI file.
Is there another way?
