Flash Catalyst sample recreated with Produle

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Adobe Flash Catalyst is an interaction design tool which was recently released as a Public Beta. From my initial impressions, it seems to be an awesome software for creating interactive prototypes for flex. Though one of the use cases of Produle is for creating UI for web services, Both these tools behave differently and address different problems. However I tried to recreate one of the samples made with Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder 4 mentioned in adobe devnet. Click here for that tutorial. The Produle version of the application (”Employee Directory”) is embedded below. It uses PHP for communicating with the database and to return XML, whereas the UI and Data Service connection was done in Produle.

Why we re-labeled our service

Monday, June 1st, 2009

If you are a frequent visitor to our site, you should have recently noticed the word “widgets” taking more prominence.  This is because we have re-labeled our web service from “Interactive flash applications” to “Flash Widgets”.   The main reason behind this change is that many of our visitors tend to skip the “interactivity” word and associate flash applications with animations and banners which isn’t. We believe that “Widgets” are best suited for the type of projects you can build with produle. However this is only a label change as part of our product strategy and it does not affect the way you create applications in Produle. Whether naming your finished application as widget, flash app, website, dashboard, web service app - its your own call!
