How to save a slice of selected layer or selected object

I am new to Fireworks CS3. I have a layered PSD and want to
create slices (or images to be used separately on a web page via
Dreamweaver) from certain selected layers or certain objects
showing the selected layer and / or object only. I tried and got a
slice that contains all visible layers cropped to the size of the
object I wanted. Can someone point me to a resource that will show
me some tutes or offer an explanation?
For example, suppose I have an apple as a background image on
a bottom layer, with other images on other layers overlapping the
apple in my psd file. How do I create a slice of just the apple?
And, suppose I have an apple, an orange and a banana on the
same layer, but I want to create a slice of each fruit
individually. How is this best done?
Thanks.

How to save the variant and select it for displaying output

For      ALV variant use the FM_REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4 and REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET to allow the user to save the variant and select it for displaying output.If   any of the data (Z fields in VBAP) is blank,the cell in the column must be highlighted in red.

How to "Save for web" just the layer effect but not the content area?

I fill the area with white, then add outter glow to the layer. Now I want to "Save for web" the outter glow effect but not the white area. I want the white area to be transparent. If I delete the white area, the layer effect goes away, if I merge the layer with another to flatten (think then I can delete the white middle while keeping the layer effect stay), the layer effect look totally different after flatten.

Set the fill to 0% in the layers panel (not the opacity). Then save for web as a PNG24, with transparency checked.

How to move and resize a whole layer with different objects and groups

Ok, I am a bit confused here.Things are not working like I thought they would and the documentation has confused me more.
currently in my code I have
var embedLeftSleeve = new File(folderPath+"/LeftSleeve.ai");
var leftSleevePlaced = doc.groupItems.createFromFile(embedLeftSleeve);
leftSleevePlaced.top = currentHeight;
leftSleevePlaced.left = 0;
I am importing an AI file and trying to put it into its own layer. I want it (the imported ai file) into into it's own layer. And I would like the layer to be setup the exact way it was in the original. But, after the import it seems to group non-grouped items, some of the objects are not showing the same way they did (like a shape with a gradient fill in it).
And finally, I want to scale all of the items in that layer as if I selected the layerer in illustrator and scaled it by hand (but scripting it to a set scale).
Can someone please help me. I am digging deep into the documentations and looking all over online to find what I want with little luck.
John

Any chance of a sample of your art? I had a quick and my test art does NOT break up or look any different.
I've been trying to build myself a set of library functions so my methods may appear a little odd.
This was fine for me…
#target illustrator
var sleveArt = new File ('~/Desktop/Untitled-2.ai');
var artName = sleveArt.name;
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
pageOrigin = [0,0];
rulerOrigin = [0,0];
var docHeight = height;
myLayer = layers.add();
myLayer.name = artName;
myGroup = myLayer.groupItems.createFromFile(sleveArt);
myGroup.top = docHeight;
myGroup.left = 0;
resizeObject(myGroup, 140, 140, 100, 'BL');
selection = null;
function resizeObject(obj, sX, sY, clw, tr) {
if (verifyObject(obj)) {
var transAbt = getAnchor(tr);
obj.resize(sX, sY, true, true, true, true, clw, transAbt);
return true;
function verifyObject(obj) {
if (obj.typename == 'CompoundPathItem'||'GraphItem' || 'GroupItem' || 'PathItem' || 'PlacedItem' || 'PluginItem' || 'RasterItem' || 'SymbolItem' || 'TextFrame') return true;
else return false;
function getAnchor(x) {
var thisTrans;
switch(x) {
case 'B' : thisTrans = Transformation.BOTTOM; break;
case 'BL' : thisTrans = Transformation.BOTTOMLEFT; break;
case 'BR' : thisTrans = Transformation.BOTTOMRIGHT; break;
case 'C' : thisTrans = Transformation.CENTER; break;
case 'DO' : thisTrans = Transformation.DOCUMENTORIGIN; break;
case 'L' : thisTrans = Transformation.LEFT; break;
case 'R' : thisTrans = Transformation.RIGHT; break;
case 'T' : thisTrans = Transformation.TOP; break;
case 'TL' : thisTrans = Transformation.TOPLEFT; break;

Have a look for example to the following:

I tried to save the variant of DEMO_PROGRAM_GET with dynamic selection field (Connection Number) filled. It gets saved without any problem. Just click 'SAVE' and enter the variant name and description.

How to save layer image

Hi, I'm a newbe
I need to save the image of a layer, but my asset is a psd file, how do I get the image from it?
Thx

hi nnzz! welcome to the forum!
a layer's image pixels are gotten in the same way regardless of the source.
if your effect is applied to it, you'll have the pixels handed to you from AE automatically.
in any case you can get the layer's source item and render it through the render suite.
once you have the pixel datayou can process it and save it in any way you like.

Let me know the result of doing this, and whether any password-related errors appear in Tools->Error Console

How to save the selected row number to NSUserDefaults

I am trying to save the indexpath.row of the selected row to NSUserDefaults temporarily until my detail view controller can load its UITextFields based on which row is tapped. First of all is this good? I chose this design because the detail view controller cannot access the master view controller so I can't find out which row its tapped. To save to NSUSerDefaults, I did the following code, and the NSLog is always returning row 0 no matter what row I tap. Plus the title is not being set: its still blank.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    [patientList deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:indexPath.row forKey:@"rowSelected"];
    NSLog(@"The selected row saved is row %d"), [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"rowSelected"];
    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
        PatientDetailViewController *detailViewController = [[PatientDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PatientDetailViewController" bundle:nil];
        detailViewController.title = [patientDisplayName objectAtIndex:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"rowSelected"]];
        // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
        [detailViewController release];

I have also tried setting the title differently (I also added comments to explain each line what it does, the rest is the same), but neither methods work
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    // Deselect the row
    [patientList deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    // Save to memory the row selected
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:indexPath.row forKey:@"rowSelected"];
    // Show saved row to make sure it saved correctly
    NSLog(@"The selected row saved is row %d"), [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"rowSelected"];
    // Check if user is using iPhone
    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
        // Load the view
        PatientDetailViewController *detailViewController = [[PatientDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PatientDetailViewController" bundle:nil];
        // Set the title of the detail view controller based on row selected
        detailViewController.title = [patientDisplayName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        // Push the detail view controller
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
        // Release the detail view controller
        [detailViewController release];

'Save for Web & Devices' selects multiple artboards - AI CS4

I have a simple, two-artboard document (like the old FreeHand days!) but, when I go to 'Save for Web & Devices' to optimise it, the graphic from both pages appear as one optimised image. How can I get it to select only the artboard I am viewing?
Many thanks.

Well, one way would be to create an artboard that's the size of your art. You can do this easily enough by choosing the Artboard Tool and clicking once on your artwork. Alternatively, you can define slices.

Saving Dialog Box - how to save to a folder 3 layers deep

Finally through the leopard install!! 3 times a charm
I know this is a really basic question... but how do you save directly to a folder a few layers deep in my folder set up. I click on file save as.... then click on the "where" drop down box but I am unable to click through to the folder I want. It seems basic (was able to do this easily through a PC years ago) have never found out so I thought I would post here.
Appreciate any solutions.
Thanks

Click the large blue button with the downward pointing triangle on it next to the filename box in the "Save" dialog & it will expand into a fully navigable Finder-like view of the file system, complete with a toolbar containing the Spotlight search box (very useful for finding folders by name); a selector for list, icon, or column view; forward & back buttons; & even the sidebar.
In this expanded view, you should be able to navigate to any conceivable folder location as easily as with the Finder.
BTW, if you happen to have a Finder Window open & accessible, you can also drag & drop a folder from it into the "Save" dialog & it will select it as the location.
