    Flash Catalyst is cool, got a copy last November when we were at MAX. Adobe gave out a release at the end of May for those who were at FlashCamp in SF... its a little 'young still' .. it is basically taking comps from Illustrator/Fireworks/Photoshop, and separating them into components (helps with custom components, not just normal ones like buttons). or clips to be export to Flex. Animation is possible as well, although i haven't been impressed with the examples brought up from Adobe so far.

    Here is a small example:

    I have been trying to do a little sample to show off Flash Catalyst, Flex 4 (Flash Builder), and twitter api, for show, since it is still young.

    Flash Builder has been nice though. I do some time line animations, but Flex/Flash Builder have been far nicer when doing pure AS3 projects. Code completion, imports, etc. are sooo much nicer than using the Flash IDE.
