TOPIC: Design user interfaces, interactive infographics and rich internet applications, without writing code with new Flash Catalyst.
New from Adobe and built specifically for designers, Flash Catalyst enables you to create interactive content without writing code. Transform artwork created in Photoshop, or Illustrator into high-quality interactive content that can liven up your web pages or make complex information engaging and easier to understand. Design simple projects such as an interactive portfolio, infographics or product brochure in SWF format. Or tackle more complex projects such as a user interface for a web application built in collaboration with a developer. While you design visually in the foreground, Flash Catalyst generates Flex code in the background.
