I’m so happy that Adobe finally has something for the designers that don’t know action script in flash. Flash Catalyst is simplistic software where you can design and tell the software exactly what you want to do without dealing with any code. Some of the key things that it helps with are creating interactive portfolios, product guides, microsites, site navigation, interfaces for RIAs and more.
- Transform artwork created in Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, and Adobe Fireworks® into interactive designs
- Rapidly 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.
