Screencast: Intro to Adobe Flash Catalyst
I just recently got ScreenFlow and have been playing around with Adobe’s new interaction design tool, Flash Catalyst, so I thought I’d make a screencast to test out some of the features of ScreenFlow. I also wanted to try to share some info about Flash Catalyst for those of you who didn’t get to go to MAX and get a preview release.
Hopefully I can get myself into the habit of throwing together some quick screencasts surrounding all kinds of content around creating UIs for Flex, AIR and AJAX apps. Creative Suite 4 has a lot of great new stuff geared towards making those workflows much easier.
I’m thinking of switching to screencasts for more tutorial-oriented content. To make this screencast it took me 30 minutes. I did very minimal preparation, did no editing and it’s pretty casual. In future screencasts you’ll probably hear phones ring and dogs bark, but I’m not going for pro production here, just a quicker way to get information out in a more meaningful way.
We’ll see how it goes.

Introduction to Adobe Flash Catalyst
In this screencast we’ll walk through some of the UI elements of Adobe® Flash® Catalyst, create interactions for a basic Button and take a glimpse at the Code View.

That was a really good screencast! I am sure that there will be more of them

Great screencast, very excited about this project… but with Catalyst why use Flex Builder any more? seems like the design and code view is already there.. trow in the debugger and I will never have to look at Flex Builder again.

I guess I just don’t get it, I have not seeing anything yet that the numerous Adobe tools don’t do already (having seen other coverage of Catalyst). Unless this is their idea of a tool like Photoshop Elements for Flex & Flash.
Thanks for the screen cast, appreciate you taking the time.
