Hello Everyone,
How do I make flash movies?
Also, is 3D Studio Max useful for web designing?

www.macromedia.com

downlaod trial version for flash MX there.
It is kinda hard so you might wanna take a few tutorials:
www.kirupa.com
www.flashkit.com
there are others, jsut doa forums search on "flash tutorials"
succes

man, that's a broad question.
and no 3d max would not be the preferred thing for making webpages.

However, 3D Studio Max can be used to make animations used on websites.
