Hey wondering if you could do a tutorial on exporting for web, and its capabilities with resizing content for differing screen resolutions in full browser flash.

The first video/screencast is AWOL in FF...

@Kyle I'm not sure what you're asking. FC doesn't have an export for web feature. It publishes a swf like Flash Pro or you can import the FXP into Flash Builder and compile it. There is not support for publishing for multiple screen resolutions from one file.

@Alan are you seeing anything? Is the player loading?

Thanks for the informative screencast, a little more truthy than the Adobe one :-)

@Kyle
If you want a flex application that changes information on resize you will have to edit this in Flash Builder, currently Flash Catalyst doesn't give you relative-to-screen-size applications. These 100% components can be created though you'll have to work in Flash Builder.

I already discussed this problem with Mihai Corlan at the Adobe User Group Meeting in Holland. He's going to take a look into the matter (isn't really an issue or problem) and hopefully Adobe will add these features later on.

The currently best solution is to make a static version of your resizeable component and edit this in Flash Builder so it will do as you want it to.

hey Garth,

do you know how to create a dropdown box in flash catalyst?

seems like they forgot that one in the wireframe components?

Thats easy- you just make a component with two different states- one in the regular button state and the next with the dropdown box visible-

@tuur sorry I didn't see the comment - I think it was flagged as spam in my email because it came through twice.

For this version there isn't much you can do. I would keep looking in the next version. I don't see them leaving it out.

You could play with @annon 's suggestion, but it wouldn't work perfectly because you really need the dropdown portion to be handled by the popupWindowManager in Flex.

thanks for the introduction. I appreciate the explanations without the whiz-bang self-congratulation + marketing speak of the Adobe reps. Looking forward to the second video + any more you produce in the future.

Mark and I have interesting plans for future work too. As others here have commented, as cool as it is we want to explore approaches to AR that get beyond the need to hold an AR marker up to a camera.

I heard few things about Adobe Flash catalyst as an interactive design tool help to create an interactive content without writing any code. Your post helped me to learn a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Flash is becoming almost essential to know. There certainly are substitutes, but it is the basis of a lot of infographics having to do with link building services these days.
