Adobe Flash Catalyst

Adobe Flash Catalyst was a design tool used to create interactive prototypes for websites and applications without writing code. It allowed designers to convert their static designs, made in programs like Photoshop or Illustrator, into clickable, animated prototypes ready for user testing or presentation. By focusing on visual and interactive elements, Flash Catalyst streamlined the workflow between designers and developers, enabling early testing of user experience. Originally released in 2011, it was part of Adobe’s suite of tools for digital design but was discontinued in 2012, with Adobe encouraging the use of other tools for similar purposes.
