Adobe just released a couple of new products:

Adobe Flash Builder 4
Formerly Flex Builder, this is Adobe’s IDE — offered as a stand-alone version or a plug-in for Eclipse. If you just want the new SDK, you can get it here.

Adobe Flash Catalyst
Allows designers to add functionality to their interfaces after creating them in Photoshop or Illustrator. Catalyst files are then handed off to developers who add additional functionality. Personally, it seems like this creates more work for everyone: designers now have a new tool to learn, and more to do on top of the static design. Developers have more to do in rewriting Catalyst code. Why not let the designers design and developers develop?
