How did they do the morphing circles at the bottom of this page?  
is it 3d? photoshop? some secret morphing organization bent on taking over the world?!

Someone asked about this a long time ago and the morphing is basically done in a 3d program like 3dsmax and then rendered as a video file and then imported into flash.

Using a rollOver handler or hitText, the video is played forward and backward depending on if the mouse is over it or not.

that’s really cool, is it fairly advanced 3d, or would a n00b be able to pick it up fairly quickly?

It’s not difficult and there’s probably tutorials for creating morphing effects online depending on which 3d program you’re going to use.

You can do really nice morphs using two image files with a free program called morphX. If you do search for it it will come up right away. It runs on mac or pc. So you could use images that you create in photoshop then morph them and export a video which you could then use in flash.
