Adobe EDGE click-through example problems

Question

I was just reading through Jim Babbage's recent Adobe EDGE
article "How to create a click-through mock-up
with Adobe Fireworks CS3" (thanks Jim!) and ran into two
weird problems with the mockup_final.png file that comes in the
tutorial's ZIP file. Has anyone else encountered these?
(1) I cannot save the file after making even a single minor
change - I get an error message that the file is locked.
(2) When I export the HTML click-through (according to the
instructions), the index.html page looks and acts as expected, and
the image file is 845x700 px. However, the two gallery pages
(europe_gallery and canada_gallery) are tiny and look like
thumbnails (200x166 px) - the hotspots are in the proportionally
correct place, but the pages are miniscule! (At first I thought it
might be a weird Firefox issue resizing the bitmaps, but the actual
JPEGs are this size!)
I'm not sure how or why FW CS3 is exporting a normally sized
page as a very small image. I've shut-down and re-started FW,
downloaded the ZIP file again, and even tried to export before
making *any* changes and after making minor changes to the file.
Every time the canada_gallery and europe_gallery pages export as
200x166 px bitmaps.
Jim, if you're reading this, do you have any ideas or
solutions? (And thanks for all of your contributions to this forum
and other FW groups!)
