This obsolete program allows users to transform various types of static visual assets into complex Flash animations and interfaces for web applications.
Flash Catalyst
Flash Catalyst is a Windows graphics editor for working with Flash graphics. You are able to build interface mockups and prototypes without coding. There are tools for adding custom animations and transitions to the page layout. Please note that Adobe Flash Catalyst is obsolete and no longer supported by the developer. The installation files are not available.
Design process
Users can import static graphics in multiple common formats, including AI, PSD and FXG. The software automatically converts all assets into interactive components ready for animation.
You are able to organize UI elements into reusable components, streamlining design consistency and promoting modularity. Resulting interfaces can be published directly to Flex Builder, a framework for creating internet applications.
Main benefits
This app eliminates the coding barrier and lets designers focus on other aspects of the project. It is possible to rapidly design and test multiple interface prototypes, facilitating faster feedback loops and layout refinement. Moreover, using modular components ensures a unified look and feel across different web apps.
