Static meshes can't have animations. That is why they are called "static" meshes. If you want a mesh to have animations, you need to create a skeleton for it in Max, skin the mesh to the skeleton, animate the skeleton, and export the mesh and animations using ActorX. Then you would import the resulting .psk file in the generic browser. Open the skeletal mesh in the AnimSet Editor, create an AnimSet, and import your animations (.psa file) through there.
