Last week, I gave a presentation on Flash Catalyst at the SDN Event from Software Development Network (SDN). Flash Catalyst is an upcoming tool from Adobe that eases the designer-developer integration. Flash Catalyst allows you to create Rich Internet Applications based on the Adobe Flash Platform. Flash Catalyst can consume Photoshop PSD files or Illustrator files and enhance them with interactivity.

Kevin Lynch, CTO for Adobe demoed Flash Catalyst at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. The recording of this presentation is shown below. This demo starts with a mock-up in Illustrator of a Facebook application to look up friends; Kevin converts the artwork to interactive elements and finally uses the Facebook ActionScript 3 Client API to integrate it with Facebook (which we also announced last week).
