I have a question: How to make a 3D letter spin in FLash? Do I need some 3D software like 3D studio max to create the letter? And how do I make the letter rotate 360 degrees like the one at [www.x-pressive.com](http://www.x-pressive.com). Can someone help? Thanks!

yes you need a 3d program to make the letter and also o make the letter spin. Then you import it to flash.  
Swift 3d is the program for creating 3d stuff for flash.
