Director 8.5 will do this - its a pretty amazing product - just got it today. In
partnership with Intel and Discreet (makers of 3D Studio Max), it will allow you to
import a W3D file and interact with it. The shockwave player is intelligent enough to
monitor bandwidth and to read the processor speed and dynamically downscale the model
to a lower polygon version.
If this is what you're looking for check out the macromedia.com website and look for
Director 8.5 info.
There is a plug-in called Vecta 3D which is supposed to turn your models into vector
art for Flash, but our tests with it have been fairly poor, it doesn't maintain your
texture maps and makes it look rather cartoonish.
Director 8.5 by the way has support for Flash 5 and for digital movies, such as AVI,
Quicktime and Quicktime VR if you wanted to go that route as well. It requires the
player to be installed on the end user's hard drive.
Let me know if you want more info.

I believe that Macromedia has just released a product for bringing flash
objects into coldfusion
and making it more user friendly. You might be able to find out more about
this from the
ColdFusion Developers Journal Magazine.
