Flash has its strong points if used properly.  I always used 3ds max for 3d.

Depending on the complexity of the animation and where it will be used, it depends. Assuming you're talking about an animation for the web, the easiest way to produce simple animations is by creating several frames of a GIF file. Adobe Photoshop / ImageReady / Illustrator is the standard software used, and is great for a million other things as well. But anything capable of creating GIFs should allow you to create animations.\n\nFor more complex web animations, esp. interactive ones, you may need to use Flash. Pick up Macromedia Flash Studio for that (though Adobe has bought Macromedia too, so it's all bundled now anyway). It isn't cheap but it's a good investment for any image related work.

You could give 3D Studio Max a shot. I've heard it's very helpful for 3D art.

Well for Flash animation i would use Macromedia Flash. But a Free alternative to Flash, which is similar to flash, is gif.   A good program to use for this is Microsoft GIF Animator (follow the link below) This is an excelent beginners program!
