Flash Catalyst/Builder Screencast
I mentioned this in my post about the Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst Beta launches but I wanted to make sure to give props to the guys at Universal Mind. We worked with Darron Schall and Francisco Inchauste to create a good workflow demo and I think they did a really solid job. A lot of us will be using some parts of this demo on the user group tour and it includes a bunch of new features from Catalyst, from Flash Builder, and ColdFusion 9 so it does a great job of showing off the workflow. I’ll try to post the assets soon as well. I took that demo and created a screencast that shows it off.
The screncast walks you through the basic workflow of taking a Photoshop file, importing it into Catalyst, and turning the artwork into components. Then in Flash Builder we use some of the new design-centric development features to wire up that artwork to an actual data source. All of the data is coming from a ColdFusion server using the new ORM/Hibernate functionality.

Very cool, much better than the video on adobe labs.

Ryan,
Great screencast. The screencast focuses alot on the round trip designer work flow. What about the design/developer flow? Specifically skinnable components and skins in gumbo. Using the FB4 and FC betas, I couldn’t figure out how to import a skinnable component defined in FB4 and then skin it in FC. Is that for release beyond the beta?
Thanks.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to streamline the process and stumbled across your blog on google, great screen cast, thanks for the tips.

Hi Ryan, I just started using Flash Catalyst/Builder today. This was a very helpful training video. I am currently wondering if you have a video of going from Catalyst to Builder, then back to Catalyst for editing, and then back to builder again.
