    Flash Applications cannot be made in C#. Silverlight has similar options and can be programmed using C#.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Actually, there are a number of SDKs for developing Flash apps in languages other than Flash. For example, ActiveSWF allows development of Flash apps in C++ and all the .Net languages. Swf.Net is another such library.

Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein

    No, I don't want to make a flash app in c#. I want to make a c# applikation that kan create flash apps. I want to make an app that kan create flash quizzes. Just like quizcreater.

    Given the nature of your posts and the wording therein I highly recommend you do not take on this type of project. Unless you know ActionScript and it's many versions quite well and understand what is happening under the hood I highly doubt you would ever be able to create something like ActiveSWF or Adobe's CS4.

    If you want to create quick SWF apps you can get the trial version of CS4 or Adobe Flash or use some of the other programs mentioned in this thread.

    There is no need to re-invent the wheel here if all you want is to create Flash apps.

    Do you really mean that small apps like quiz write, quizmaker and quiz creator are as hard to make as Adobe CS4?

    ok, I just found out what these apps are called. The are called flash generators and there are many of them like flash menu generators. Little online apps that generates flash files. But how are these generators made?

    You make them WITH Adobe CS4 so if you want to make a program that enables you to create Flash apps then yes you would need something like Adobe Flash or one of the other programs mentioned here. If you just want to create Flash apps then use the tools we have mentioned. However, this is a C/C++ forum and not about Flash. There are plenty of Flash forums all over the internet.
