1. Re: Data List with Links?
Bear Travis Jun 24, 2010 1:11 PM (in response to TimothyWhalin)Hello,
Catalyst is great for visual prototyping, but if you have a large set of data, say over 15 items, you should probably be doing some final tweaks in Builder. In your case, I'd recommend creating a Data List with your text input and button. I would also add text fields to your design time data that contain your links and button labels. You can set the opacity on them to zero, you just want those strings present in your design time data.
Finally, bring your FXP over to builder, and tweak the button labels so they draw from the design time data. Also, create an interaction for the button that navigates to the appropriate link.

2. Re: Data List with Links?
TimothyWhalin Jun 24, 2010 1:38 PM (in response to Bear Travis)Does builder only come with the master collection? I have the design premium. I have a copy of the master collection on someone else's computer here at work that I can use, though.
I may just make a button that says "Link" and then have that next to my list of things I need linked. I know you can have multiple instances of a button with different interactions on each instance.
Thanks for your help Bear.
Anyone else have any other ideas?

Chris W. Griffith Jun 25, 2010 10:58 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)Flash Builder is also included in Web Premium. I think Flash Builder Standard is $249. Bear is right, at some point it makes sense to shift from prototyping to actual development. Good luck. If you get stuck with development, your best bet will be on the Flash Builder forums for coding help.

Lynn Kirabo Nov 10, 2011 11:54 PM (in response to Chris W. Griffith)Hi Chris,
Thanks for the link.
I figured out how to do it in Flash Catalyst, without heading over to Flash Builder.
All you have to do is select the data list, then go to the interactions panel.
After you have selected the state that it should transition to, Change the last drop down to "When a specific Item is selected", then choose which item links to what.
I hope this helps someone who doesn't have an idea how to use Flash Builder.
Thanks.

Chris W. Griffith Nov 11, 2011 7:44 AM (in response to Lynn Kirabo)The only issue with that solution is it applies to the entire row. For example, you have a name in one cell, and their email address in another, even clicking the name cell will trigger the interaction.
But glad this solution works for your design.
