3 Start Fireworks in Editing From Dreamweaver mode by doing one of the following:
• In the Property inspector, click Create.
• Press Control (Windows) or Command (Macintosh) then double-click the image placeholder.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the image placeholder, then select Create Image In
Fireworks.
4 Use Fireworks options to design the image.
Fireworks recognizes the following image placeholder settings you may have set while working with the image
placeholder in Dreamweaver: image size (which correlates to Fireworks canvas size), image ID (which Fireworks
uses as the default document name for the source file and export file you create), and text alignment. Fireworks also
recognizes links and certain behaviors (such as swap image, pop-up menu, and set text) you attached to the image
placeholder while working in Dreamweaver.
Note: Although Fireworks doesn’t show links you’ve added to an image placeholder, they are preserved. If you draw a
hotspot and add a link in Fireworks, it will not delete the link you added to the image placeholder in Dreamweaver;
however, if you cut out a slice in Fireworks in the new image, Fireworks will delete the link in the Dreamweaver
document when you replace the image placeholder.
Fireworks doesn’t recognize the following image placeholder settings: image alignment, color, Vspace and Hspace,
and maps. They are disabled in the image placeholder Property inspector.
5 When you finish, click Done to display the save prompt.
6 In the Save In text box, select the folder you defined as your Dreamweaver local site folder.
If you named the image placeholder when you inserted it in the Dreamweaver document, Fireworks populates the
File Name box with that name. You can change the name.
7 Click Save to save the PNG file.
The Export dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to export the image as a GIF or JPEG file, or, in the case of sliced
images, as HTML and images.
8 For Save In, select the Dreamweaver local site folder.
The Name box automatically displays the name you used for the PNG file. You can change the name.
9 For Save As Type, select the type of file or files you want to export; for example, Images Only or HTML And Images.
10 Click Save to save the exported file.
The file is saved, and focus returns to Dreamweaver. In the Dreamweaver document, the exported file or Fireworks
table replaces the image placeholder.
About Fireworks pop-up menus
Fireworks lets you quickly and easily create CSS-based pop-up menus.
In addition to being extensible and fast to download, the pop-up menus you create with Fireworks give you the
following advantages:
• The menu items can be indexed by search engines.
• The menu items can be read by screen readers, making your pages more accessible.
• The code generated by Fireworks complies to standards and can be validated.
You can edit Fireworks pop-up menus with Dreamweaver or with Fireworks, but not both. Changes made in
Dreamweaver are not preserved in Fireworks.
