Adobe Flash Catalyst
June 12th, 2009
Have you heard of Flash Catalyst yet? aka Thermo. I wanted to put a list together of some demos to give you an idea of how cool this is. I’ve been using FC for a little while now and love it. Yes I have some minor issues that I raised during the beta pre-release. The main one is for us Fireworks users we have an extra step to do. We need to export as FXG format. Other than that it’s a pretty smooth transition into FC.
I would take a look at some of the demos below and download the public beta that’s out. GET IT RIGHT HERE!
Adobe® Flash® Catalyst™ is a new professional interaction design tool for rapidly creating user interfaces without coding.
• Transform artwork created in Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator® into functional user interfaces.
• Create interactive prototypes with the ability to leverage them in the final product
• Publish a finished project as a SWF file ready for distribution
• Work more efficiently with developers who use Adobe Flash Builder™ 4 to create rich Internet applications (RIAs). Designers use Flash Catalyst to create the functional user experience then provide the project file to developers who use Flash Builder to add functionality and integrate with servers and services
Some links to get to know FC a little more.
