Set component properties in Flash catalyst
Before you begin a design, take a few minutes to explore the available properties for formatting text, shapes, and components in Flash Catalyst. This will help you determine which objects and states to define in the design document, and which to save for Flash Catalyst. In some cases, you’ll find it easier to create one object or state in Photoshop or Illustrator. After you convert the objects or states to a component in Flash Catalyst, use the Properties panel to apply different visual properties, like fill color and opacity, to the remaining states.
