Is there anyway of using adobe flash with c#? Im making a game in XNA, what would be a good tool to use to make cutscenes? I was thinking adobe flash?
-
Why would you want to do something that horrible?
Would Silverlight not be a better choice with C#?
-
AS3 is really really similar to C#.
Should be pretty easy to jump in.

Can you use silverlight with xna 4.0? And if so how would i create animations with silverlight and bring them into an xna game?

That’s a totally reasonable thing to do, Flash is a great tool for animating. The language it uses is inconsequential if it’s just for a cutscene.
You can export your animation as a QuickTime movie then you’ll need to convert that to whatever format is most convenient for you to play from your game.

Artists and animators like Flash, coders do not.
But I read that wrong and didn’t see you wanted it for cut scenes. So, yeah, if you are exporting to another format you can use anything.

By the way, what programming language/languages can be used in Flash?
-
ActionScript 3, which is very similar to JavaScript, afaik they’re both based on the ECMAScript spec. If you do decide to code in Flash then check out Flash Builder, it’s a lot better for coding. As amethyst says, coders don’t like Flash. By the way, the Flash dev tool is now referred to as Flash Pro. I’m writing a game using Flash Builder, using animation being built in Flash Pro. Development, debugging and profiling support is way better in Flash Builder than Flash Pro.
There are open source dev tools too. FlashDevelop was popular a while back but I haven’t been keeping up. It’s also possible to write in other languages and compile them to run on the Flash VM, Google Haxe for more info.

If what you are trying to do is pass values from your C# program into (and out of) your Flash animation, it isn’t that simple, but it is also not a huge pain. You probably have to use AS3 scripts anyway, to hold the Flash global variables you want to access and so on.
Done that 6 or 7 years ago, was a pain in the neck, but things must have evolved ever since, so should be easy, I reckon…
