Quote from the max exporter Doc:
"Morph meshes do not use nodes to drive the animation. In the 3D Studio Max scene, you may be using bones, x-forms, or linked x-forms to animate the mesh, but the end result is different.
In morph animations, the location of every vertex in the mesh is saved off for every frame (and every detail level) and the position of each vertex is updated on every frame. Morph animations are not as efficient of flexible as real time skeletal deformation.
Important
It is advisable to use skeletal animation rather than morph animation in all but the most special of circumstances. "
