Inkworks Swiffworks is the only app that i know of that exports renders to .swf Just go to www.aliaswavefront.com for more info.

I have used it a bit but wasnt really satisfied with it.

i'm asked myself that same question.

Somehow there are alot of Max , but none for Maya.

I hope it will change because of the (i think) growing usage of Maya.

The reason there is not Swift3D plug-in for Maya is that the fine folks at A|W won't help electric-rain develop it by giving them a copy of the software.

Seems like it would be in their best interests to help these guys out, but they won't do it.
