Publishing to the Web!

Posted by bear

Just a quick post on how to get everything uploaded to the web. Before you get started, you will need some form of web hosting, to serve your content to people requesting it. If you're looking for hosting, you can check out some of the large companies like BlueHost, HostGator, or WebFaction to at least get an idea of plans and pricing.

When you've finished a project in Flash Catalyst, you can publish it via the File > Publish option. This creates two versions of your project.

More after the jump.

Print to web in a flash!

Posted by tarajane

Hey all - more great stuff coming out of the design community:

Adobe and HOW magazine challenged some of our favorite designers to transform their existing print work into immersive, interactive projects for the web using Flash Catalyst CS5, and the results are stunning. The designers’ original print work can be seen in HOW’s September/October issue that’s just now hitting the stands, and the interactive results, along with commentary from the designers, can be seen at http://bit.ly/cnUPhV.
