Additional information
Full designer to developer and return workflow allows ongoing collaboration on the same project.
Resizable applications and components means websites and apps look great across devices with different screen sizes.
Workspace improvements include enhanced timelines and animations, new common Library panel, align panel, and other features.
Custom skinnable components are elements that are built by developers in Flash Builder 4.5 and then skinned by a designer in Flash Catalyst CS5.5.
Improved interactions in this recent version of Flash Catalyst means you can visually target components directly from the artboard, making it easier to define transitions to other component states.
