1. Re: What's the difference between using this & Adobe Catalyst?
David A Rogers Oct 26, 2010 11:26 AM (in response to greenbluewave)A web interface has to be one of the Pros. Software as a service, no installation necessary. I havent installed the app yet.

2. Re: What's the difference between using this & Adobe Catalyst?
Daverms Nov 4, 2010 3:33 AM (in response to greenbluewave)Some of the main differences are,
- Flash Catalyst can import Photoshop/Illustrator/Fireworks files where as ROME don't have such feature.
- You can use the your flash catalyst project in Flash Builder as it is.
- You can design UI in FlashCatalyst which can handle dynamic data.
HTH.

3. Re: What's the difference between using this & Adobe Catalyst?
SarahEssary Nov 3, 2010 9:41 PM (in response to greenbluewave)Hello,
I've spoken with the development team and they have explained FC like this:


Flash Catalyst is a professional design tool for interaction design. It helps designers specify not just the visual layout of an interactive piece, but also exactly how the interactive elements and transitions will work including designing buttons, scroll bars, transitions, and more. Flash Catalyst integrates with Flash Builder, so a designer can either export their design as a final .swf or .air project, or they can hand it off to a developer to do further work in Flash Builder. This integration makes Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder the perfect solution for designing data driven applications among other things.
Project ROME is designed for the everyday user who wants to use digital media to better express and communicate ideas. Project ROME’s tools, interface and capabilities are simple but powerful, and do not require expertise in design.
Essentially, FC enables a sophisticated designer-developer workflow for professionals while ROME enables all-in-one media creation for at home, work or school users.
Thanks for your questions!
Sarah
