Designer-developer workflow with Flash Catalyst CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 Premium
Not only does Master Collection include Flash Builder 4.5 Premium, but a new workflow with Flash
Catalyst CS5.5 introduces easy collaboration between designer and developer. Flash Catalyst CS5
and Flash Builder 4 enabled a workflow that allowed designers to provide native Flex Project (FXP)
files to developers, who could then open and continue to work with those files. Now, Flash Catalyst
CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 expand on this concept and deliver a powerful new workflow that lets
designers work in parallel with developers on the same project.

For example, if you’re a designer, you can begin by creating a wireframe in Flash Catalyst CS5.5.
Add interactions, transitions, and constraints, and then hand the file off to a developer. In Flash
Builder 4.5, the developer can add logic and create connections to data sources, and then return
the file to you. You can then open the file in Flash Catalyst CS5.5 to add final artwork and skin the
application, returning it to the developer for deployment if you wish.

the revolutionary Roto Brush in Adobe After Effects CS5.5. Isolating moving foreground elements
from their backgrounds with automatic transparency is dramatically fast.
