Update! Flash Catalyst aka Thermo a Huge WIN for ADOBE!!!!

November 18, 2008

Update: Well I spent 5 hours on a flight and used the new Flash Catalyst application aka THERMO and created a very powerful dynamic search results screen.  Lets just say Jesus Roller Blading Christ this is outstanding.

Out of respect for the hard working team at Adobe I must say it is a game changer.  To keep the demo from locking up  i didn’t use my complex AI from a previous flex project and I created a less complicated AI and isolated what I really needed to do and Poof went into Catalyst and created one of my favorit works yet.

the ability to produce into a SWF is awesome.  I can’t wait to see the power when I can bring in the 100’s of layed out designs in Fireworks.

11/7: First Run: no seriously……  The install process went really well but then we went to open an ai file and take advantage of the Fc’s power of automatically solving the world’s problems things went poof.    Well after mxml load etc the machine just locked up pegged the processor and the rest is history.

Some may say it is overkill and a niche vehicle that isn’t needed.  I believe conquest vehicles saw an opportunity and may have hit the target.  The concept is being sold throughout the world and from my short discussion with the team and their CEO I would say there are only good things to come in the future.

I am stopping by their display at SEMA2008 tomorrow so check back.

Check out their press release.

Las Vegas, Nevada, November 4, 2008 – Conquest Vehicles Inc., the Toronto-based company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of fully armoured, ultra-luxurious, handcrafted sport utility vehicles has unveiled its flagship vehicle, the KNIGHT XV™ at the 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas, announced William Maizlin, President, Conquest Vehicles, Inc.
