Web2ExpoSF 09: Kevin Lynch
summary
Imports an Illustrator mockup into Flash Catalyst beta and converts vector shapes into Flex MXML components, turning outlines into live buttons, a working vertical scrollbar and a text input without hand coding. Designer-created transitions become timeline animations and three explicit states (search, person info, friend list) with clickable state-change triggers. Catalyst spits out code used in Flex Builder, which connects to Facebook APIs; the demo friend-directory app fetches real Facebook data and the interactions work end to end.
