For something simple, you can use the 3D transform filter in adobe photoshop
(in the render submenu) It is not going to create the vectors for you, but
you can get a pretty simple polygon sphere which you can use to trace
directly in photoshop, illustrator, or flash.

If you are looking to spend some money, 3DS Max is one of the best 3D tools
out there, but may be a little bit of overkill ($3,000) lightwave is another
good alternative but still pricey (2,000). For 3DS max there are a number
of 3rd party tools that can be employed to create flash files. If you are
looking for more detailed information, please feel free to email me offlist,
and I can give you some further guidance.

I'd suggest 3d studio max or Adobe Dimensions... Dimensions can export
postscript format (which is importable into Flash as vectors). 3d studio
max would probably need some kind of plug-in to export in vector format.

Dimensions is a little limited, but it's cheap. 3d studio max is really
expensive, but it makes dimensions look like a toy.
