About Photoshop, Flash, and Fireworks integration
Photoshop, Fireworks, and Flash are powerful web-development tools for creating and managing graphics and SWF
files. You can tightly integrate Dreamweaver with these tools to simplify your web design workflow.
Note: There is also limited integration with some other applications. For example, you can export an InDesign file as
XHTML and continue working on it in Dreamweaver. For a tutorial on this workflow, see
.
You can easily insert images and content created with Adobe Flash (SWF and FLV files) in a Dreamweaver document.
You can also edit an image or SWF file in its original editor after you insert it in a Dreamweaver document.
Note: To use Dreamweaver in conjunction with these Adobe applications, you must have these applications installed on
your computer.
For Fireworks and Flash, product integration is achieved through roundtrip editing. Roundtrip editing ensures that
code updates are transferred correctly between Dreamweaver and these other applications (for example, to preserve
rollover behaviors or links to other files).
Dreamweaver also relies on Design Notes for product integration. Design Notes are small files that allow Dreamweaver
to locate the source document for an exported image or SWF file. When you export files from Fireworks, Flash, or
Photoshop directly to a Dreamweaver defined site, Design Notes containing references to the original PSD, PNG, or
Flash authoring file (FLA) are automatically exported to the site along with the web-ready file (GIF, JPEG, PNG, or
SWF).
