1. There is no Tree component anymore.   The DataList has all of the functionality you will need to build a tree.

2. I don't think its a matter of listing out the components that we like in Flash Builder (Flex) that we want in Catalyst - It is a matter of the Catalyst team getting ALL of the components in Flash Builder (Flex) in Catalyst and enabling TRUE round-tripping between the two.

Can't build anything meaningful without a combobox/dropdown or datagrid.

I don't thing we will purchase Catalyst until it has a full list of components :-(

Other than video support (which is huge for me as my demos need to be standalone executables), I think there could be another work view implemented in this application. Aside from the code and design views, a flow view would be an excellent tool. Maybe the functionality could be limited or this could be a great place for annotations. The ability to export a meaningful flow map would be a very powerful addition.

My 2 cents after a few hours of playing around a little. A lot of potential here though.

even without a great set of components Catalyst will boost your productivity in creating a solid application base to work with. It saves you a lot of time in Flash Builder. If look at the hours you'll save it will probably be worth your while..... And extra, the stuff you didn't find in Catalyst you code through Flash Builder.

Also, i'm beginning to think that rome WAS build in ONE day. Most of the people i talk with are bugging and ******** on the lack of features. Do they think Adobe has a magic wand or something? Do they think that quality programs just emerge from nothing? A product needs time to develop, grow, just like a little child.

Is it possible to add a little st (smooth transition) icon in the State Transitions just to confirm tha you've used it without having to click on it to actually see the transition. The reason why I am asking is because they will be time when something is not animating right and that leaves you checking all your state transition layers mking sure that it has been utilized... Just thinking that this method might bring an end to confusion.
