Adobe Flash Catalyst
If you work with Flash for a long time will know what has become complex ActionScript lately. This is not to complicate the lives of designers who cross the threshold of the development world, but to produce a platform that takes advantage of optimal codes to get better results.
Of course the downside is that if you're not an experienced developer, the code becomes very complex when it comes to implementing highly interactive content for your customers.
Adobe has solved the problem of Flash developers using Flex Builder offering them, which is a programming environment much more robust. However, as a designer you may feel a little neglected, because ActionScript 3.0 is much more complex than its ancestors.
Well quit feeling neglected because Adobe has created for you Flash Catalyst, a new design tool specifically designed to help designers to quickly produce the interface without any programming.
The designer moves on familiar territory creating content in Photoshop or Illustrator and then import the content directly in your application to add the interactive content by defining events, transitions and motion. When ready the content can be published as SWF or AIR applications. Alternatively it can be passed to a program so as to make it much more interactive.

David and clever you are up to date! I came across recently in AS3 and already I feel resentment .. let's face it: we want to complicate life and sell all costs of add-ons! ... Personally regret MACROMEDIA!

Nice Nik, eh si ... as3 for people like us is first and foremost by the design is somewhat complicated, the approach is certainly abstract (like most of his concepts), and we are faced with a programming language ...
anyway have to understand how to knock down some walls and is also more sempice and orderly!
Eventually opened up new avenues and methods of work ... who comes from the programming is an advantage and retrieves a long way ... here cè to choose whether to hit or give up!
If I recommend ordering the book printed in Italian "ActionScript 3.0 answers for professionals Flash", belonging to the first part is well done. Having a printed manual that will help you browse through a lot, also does not necessarily have to stay at the screen ... But speaking of Catalyst Flash which is the opposite, or am I wrong? Bah as3 better!
