Greater precision and more creative options for interaction design in
Flash Catalyst CS5.5
Preparing content that displays optimally on screens of different sizes and resolutions is a continual
challenge for designers. Flash Catalyst now enables you to deliver layouts that specify how objects
respond when the application window is resized. Using on-object controls, you can specify how
each object will move or stretch, and then preview the results by resizing the artboard directly
within Flash Catalyst.
For designers who want to choreograph their own transitions between states, new animation options
such as transformation point controls, auto-reverse, and font sizes within filter effects provide precise
control. You can also save and reapply your custom transitions across effects and objects.
