the demo on the labs site looks interesting.. but i wonder how valuable it will be as a pure prototyping tool if the rest of the work flow isn't flash/flex... if you want to prototype a native mac or windows app, or a web app that's not flex, will this still be a good tool?
Yes! I currently have a graphics library of Windows UI components (from various versions) that I use to construct screens in Photoshop. I have another graphics library of components for my company's web apps. Then there are the ones for the solutions I've done under contract. That makes it relatively quick to mock up a screen. However, if I want to make an interactive mockup, I then have to cut my screens up into pieces and import them into Director, reassemble them, and add the scripting.
Now, I'll be able to go straight into Thermo... I mean Flash Catalyst, and start adding the interactivity directly. This will be a huge time savings for me. I actually rarely do interactive prototypes because I don't have the time. I'm hoping that this product will allow me to work them into my schedule again.
If you haven't seen it, and it's still available, check out the Thermo demo, as it showed more than the video linked to in this thread.
