Advanced Interaction Design and Designing for Data in Flash Catalyst
Adobe Flash Catalyst allows you to quickly prototype and build interaction designs for rich applications and interactive content. In this lab, we’ll use Flash Catalyst to create complex designs with multiple interactive parts and richly-designed scrollable data lists. We’ll show how you can fill data lists with static content for publishing finished pieces directly from Flash Catalyst, or bring them into Flash Builder to be hooked up to live data from a server. Topics we’ll explore: Planning out the structure of your UI design; using custom components and component transitions; 3D effects and advanced action sequences; and conditional interactions.
