Adobe Flash Catalyst "Panini" - Preview Release
A preview release of the next version of Flash Catalyst, codenamed "Panini"
With Flash Catalyst "Panini," designers can leverage their skills with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Fireworks to rapidly prototype user interfaces for Flex-based websites and applications, and collaborate intelligently with developers who use Adobe Flash Builder software. In addition, static artwork can be transformed into interactive projects for the web or for websites and applications, all without writing code.
- Collaborative designer-developer workflow with Flash Builder "Burrito" — A collaborative, bi-directional design-develop workflow is now possible, allowing parallel development on the same Flex-based projects, with Flash Catalyst "Panini" used for design edits and Flash Builder "Burrito" for manipulating code.
- Resizable applications and components — Designers can use visual constraints to design and preview the position and sizing of objects when crafting interfaces and applications that can be resized by the user.
- Components panel — A newly-designed Components panel replaces the Wireframe Components panel that was in Flash Catalyst CS5.
- Enhanced timelines and animations — Precise, expressive transitions and effects can be crafted with greater control and less effort.
- Improvements to interactions — Interactions can now globally target any component within the project, without being limited to the current user context or state.
- More efficient design workflows — Design improvements include an Align panel, similar to that found in other Creative Suite applications, rearrangement of States in the Pages/States panel, the ability to lock aspect ratio of objects, more natural object manipulation and rotation and more. And it's now easier to properly name components for stronger collaboration with your developer partner.
