Hello design world

This time I'm seeking help about little intro movies. Recently I found a website with some amazing flash inro animations. I know a lot about Flash and I'm expert in Photoshop, but in order to create smth like this:

you need more. There are particle systems and light effects - just awesome. Does any of you have an idea what software they are using (before the obvious Flash of course) - Adobe After Effects? Premier? Moviemaker? Any tutorials on the matter? Help please!!!

Looks like a lot of Photoshop graphics turned into a flash with writing in it.
I have no clue how to do this myself of course, but do you really need a flash intro?
When I run into one I immediately hit the back button, no matter what.

How exactly do you plan to use this?

Flash intro's can be very cool at times but they do take away from the site slightly as i generally leave once i see the loading bar :P

It looks pretty cool, but I agree with shaneiadt. I really don't like flash intros, or any site that is completely flash.

Adobe and movie maker is best software to design the websites.

I agree with what has been said, if you going to make a Flash intro make it short, and make sure you include a skip button that is well visable, If i ever hit a flash intro i usually just skip it.

looks something like after effects or some special effects software from apple from final cut studio..

Yes, as people have just said. I tend to skip them, I find them annoying.

But the flash video is great, I actually like that.

Another company uses Adobe Flash 8+ and Stuffit Expander 10+ (Mac) to create something like this
I'm just attentive to Software Required blocks when I want to buy a certain web template or flash intro

I'm no expert, but isn't it possible to make an intro like this in a video editor like Sony vegas or After Effects and then convert it to .flv using some converter? That was pretty darn cool
