Is anyone using a program called Swift3D in conjunction with Flash for 
animations?
Is it a useful program? Are there any turorials on the internet that I could 
check out to see what it's like?
Thanks for any advice.

Have used it, seemed fairly robust, certainly a simple way of getting 3D 
geometry from 3D Studio into Flash.

See the last two items in the Flash section of my gallery page ( 
http://howiem.com/gallery.asp ) for a couple of cheesy examples - try the 
links called "Odd transition things". Both were created in 3DSMax then 
Swift3D-ed into Flash. Took a lot of tweaking and fiddling, and they still 
aren't very efficient, but that's more my laziness than a failing of the 
software.
