Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 : Configuring the Data List's Parts |
Once you convert the artwork to a data list, the HUD displays a warning message that you need to configure its parts. At a minimum, you need to specify which piece or pieces of the artwork will be used as the repeating item — the item that represents the actual data. |

Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 : Convert Artwork to a Data List |
Data lists are one of the default component types in Catalyst. Converting artwork to a data list requires the same procedure as converting any other artwork: You select the elements that make up the data list and then use the heads-up display (HUD) to convert to the component. |

Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 : Applying and removing filters |
Flash Catalyst includes a nice collection of graphic filters, such as drop shadows, that you can add to your artwork to give it more depth and style. You can add filters to the artwork you place in the Flash Catalyst artboard. |

Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 : Grouping and transforming |
Most artwork is made from a collection of smaller overlapping parts. In fact, some artwork includes hundreds, even thousands, of smaller brush strokes or paths. You can make your life a little easier by grouping the related parts of an object so that you can work with them as a single unit. |
