The ability to import a Flash Professional .fla file format into Catalyst would be a great benefit. Especially since there was an official workflow between Flash Pro and Flex 3 for creating graphical, stateful skins for flex (ie File...New...Flex Skins). It seems strange that in the new workflow, Flash is not treated as a first class citizen such as Illustrator or Photoshop. For large libraries of Flash built skins, the process of converting these to Flex 4 skins is quite painful as the current builds of Catalyst merely provide Importing of FXG. When a Flash-created Flex skin symbol is exported as .fxg from Flash, and imported into Catalyst, only the first frame/state is available.

I like when Flash Catalyst Releasees/Publishes on the web as SWF and on AIR. but u need to add a featue that might intrograte with Device Central. and it should also release it to all Mobile Devices (including: iOS on iPhone & iPad, Android, Blackberry OS, Web palm, Windows Phone, and Symbian).

It seams to me that a file with the name "Flash" Catylist should be able to work with Flash. I would like to get a quick start on a project in catylist and then take the SWF over to flash and add animations and other content there. I know this may seem odd but I see a lot of use in making catalyst work for designers that already know a little Flash. This could also open up transfers from flash to catylist that alow coders to write new transition plugins for non coders to download and instal.

It's really nice to have the ability to name an ID to your components & objects so you can identify them when you work inside Flash Builder.

Catalyst should be integrated with Flash IDE. Actually Flash should be able to do what catalyst does now. 

When I choose my SWF Asset to be assigned to more states than just State1, my whole SWF disappears when I test it with ctrl+enter.

My SWF file plays 1 time, then its supposed to be were it went and act like an image. Did that with a little "close()" actionscript piece in my SWF.

Long story short, SWF Asset works in State1, but nothing works when shared with all other States.

Hope you guys understand what I mean because it's a big issue to me.

Hello,

First, I want to say Thank You. Your software really helps people to release their creativity and also earn money.

As for the programm, I think that Flash Catalyst is a great project. I was relly encouraged with the things it can do. But one thing I feel lack of in it is the absence of integration between Catalyst and Adobe Flash. For some people (I'm not the exception) it is very difficult to learn programming. And that's the point where Adobe Flash provides me with necessary tools, that will allow me to create animation without the use of code. As for creating some interfaces, galleries - it is much easier to make them in Catalyst rather then in Flash and I was really happy with the way I could do it in Catalyst. It really encouraged me. But I've found out, that if I want to make some more complex animation, Catalyst doesn't give me an ability to do it. And the only programm here that will allow me to make my project more interesting and creative is the Adobe Flash. 

I saw a post a while back saying you guys were working on making the masking feature easier to use because it was hard to find according to the op (currently you have to make a separate custom component and enable something etc)

What I'm more concerned about is the flexibility of this feature. As of now you can't do nearly as much with a custom component enabled as a mask as you can in Flash with an actual mask. Complex and flexible masking would be an extremely helpful feature.

p.s. I would assume there might be naming issues to sort out as well as catalyst works with .psd, which uses the term mask in an entirely different way than as in Flash.
