There are third party tools referred to on the Macromedia web site: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/flash_websites.htm
There are third party tools that do text and 3D effects, but your best bet for general Flash file creation is probably the Flash MX product itself. I think you still need Flash 5 to create templates. Flash MX (essentially Flash 6) does not support generator since they dropped support. JGenerator and Generator allow you to add dynamic content to your Flash: .swt + data-source ---Generator---> dynamically generated .swf. If I remember correctly Generator had one feature that JGenerator did not have, which was generating .gifs and motion .gifs. But Generator is no longer available. JGenerator has a number of features that Generator does not have. See their pages: http://www.flashgap.com/features.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/jgen/ Hope that helps. Fred.
