I can finally talk about this in the open!. Being on the prerelease for both these products (and many more cool ones coming ;) ) has been quite fun. You get to see the latest features and the goods and bads before the world sees it. Some of the cool things from Flash builder have been that they have really integrated the data service model into the IDE. You can create CFC's based on the data, do other cool stuff and it just makes life easy as pie. With respect to Flash Catalyst, while I havent checked out the build on Labs yet ( I think i got the same one from the prerelease site) one thing that bothers me and *again* I do not know if this is implemented in the build on labs and *i do not even know if i can talk about this*, but you cant edit the code view for the tool. Maybe this is just because its a beta, and they dont want anything being messed up but other then that little bug, Flash platform is a real kick ass tool. The funny thing is, now that F.C is released I cant seem to find any use for it! I havent taken any client work in the past few months because of AndSpot so I have nothing to test F.C against. Well Ill just try some stupid PSD off the web and convert it to a Flex Desgin. Great work Adobe!
