Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium 
What’s New
•  To optimize a print layout for onscreen delivery, simply open the layout in InDesign and use new 
panels to add interactivity, animation, video, and/or sound.
Now you can take your designs in exciting new directions and maintain design control—without 
writing code.
Interactive content with Flash Catalyst CS5
New from Adobe and built specifically for designers, Flash Catalyst enables you to create 
interactive content without writing code. With Flash Catalyst, you can take advantage of the 
expressiveness of Flash technology and the ubiquity of Flash Player to deliver compelling 
interactivity, video, and audio to computers around the world.
Transform artwork created in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks into high-quality interactive 
content that can liven up your web pages or make complex information engaging and easier to 
understand. Design simple projects, such as an interactive portfolio site or product brochure, that 
you can complete yourself in SWF format. Or tackle more complex projects such as a user interface 
for a web application built in collaboration with a developer. While you design visually in the 
foreground, Flash Catalyst generates Adobe Flex® code in the background.
Begin by importing a design comp created in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks into your Flash 
Catalyst project. Use easy-to-understand menu commands to convert individual elements into 
functional interactive components such as buttons, sliders, and scrollbars. When you’re finished 
polishing your interactive content, you can add it to web pages, embed it in a PDF file, or run it as a 
self-contained Adobe AIR application directly on the desktop.
Venture into the exciting realm of interactive design without ever writing or editing a line of code.
Roundtrip editing of graphics 
between Flash Catalyst CS5 and 
Illustrator CS5
Use Illustrator CS5 to develop
interaction design ideas, craft screen
layouts, and create graphics for use
as user interface components. Then
open your Illustrator artwork in Flash
Catalyst and add actions and interac-
tivity. After you’ve added interactivity,
you can still make edits and design
changes directly within Illustrator
(see example below).
Roundtrip editing of graphics between Flash Catalyst CS5 and Illustrator CS5 makes it easier to fine-tune elements of your 
interactive design. In Flash Catalyst CS5, select an element, and then choose Modify > Edit In Adobe Illustrator CS5 (above 
left). Flash copies the selected element (here, the orange arrow on the black background) and captures a screenshot of the 
entire page. Illustrator then opens a new document and places the screenshot, at 20% opacity, on a locked layer—along with 
all four button states (shown below). When you save the Illustrator file, the Flash Catalyst file is automatically updated. 
Note that the graphic from Flash 
Catalyst is being edited in Illustrator.
