At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Adobe chief technology officer Kevin Lynch demos a beta version of Flash Catalyst, a web-development program that allows developers to import pictures and make each shape into a web element. Flash Catalyst also creates Flex code of these elements, letting developers add to and manipulate the code directly, and giving them the ability to connect to Facebook's API.
