Blurry Text using Fireworks CS3 version
I'm creating an ad for use in our local phone book yellow
pages using CS3 Fireworks. When I save it in .png or .jpg and print
it out it is very blurry and unacceptable. I made the mistake of
submitting an ad for something else thinking that the pros would be
able to print it out and it would be clear - and it printed
horrible. Why am I unable to print a clear .jpg file?

that this would happen in such a high end software such as
Fireworks CS3 version. How can anyone design anything using fonts
if this happens.
Yep, it's a tiny image. At 1200 dpi a 300-pixel image would
look good at about 1/4 inch. Maybe 1/2 inch, but it'll start to
look kinda blurry. Your printer may not have the same resolution as
the printer the phone book will be printed on, so you need to know
the print shop's recommendations. Then, do some math. If you know
the size in inches you want your advertisement to be, multiply
those dimensions by the dpi to get the dimensions in pixels to make
your Fireworks document. (Ignore the dpi settings in Fireworks.)
You could possibly get by with something half as big, but you
should ask the print shop for recommendations.
Better still is to use Illustrator or another vector drawing
program and submit scalable art in .ai or .eps format. But, again,
check with the print shop for guidelines.

I have not used my CS3 version for about 3-4 years. I tried to use it recently and I get a message about activation. Called the phone number recommended but no longer in use. How do I start using MY version I paid for? Using PC
Can you activate CS3. If you lost your serial you can retrieve it from Adobe.com. Sign in at Adobe.com the use this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html When your Adobe Product list is displayed click on your CS3 product your serial number should be displayed.

I can use both with no problems at all and all CS3
applications do
support VIsta. You will have to be much more specific about
what
problems you are having, error messages, etc.

How do you retain the mouseover state in a pop-up menu using Fireworks CS3?
I am working on a site right now using some javascript
pop-ups from FW. I would really prefer to use CSS but had many
headaches trying to get them working in IE6. Now the problem I have
with the FW pop-ups is that the original menu item does not retain
its mouse over state when moving to submenus and this is really the
effect I want. You can see the site I am working on here:
http://www.mackenziecauley.com/linda/profile.php
I noticed some articles in the adobe db related to this issue
with Fireworks MX but unfortunately it doesn't work in CS3. I am
also a complete newbie in javascript so any help would be great.
thanks!Drat...I can only see three pages (and a bit) of posts
(why?!?!?!!!), so I can't go back and find an example. Murray
(*ACE*) has the answer, so I'm just trying to copy him from memory.
He once linked to this blog post, from the guy who worked on the
menus:

Blurry text using Bitmap text (pixelfont) alternative
I've placed a bitmap text (no anti-alias) inside a movieclip
and it looks crisp and clean when exported to swf.
Now I have dragged a copy of that movieclip on stage
and it becomes blurry/fuzzy as soon as I export it to swf
(the original is still clean/crisp)
Why is this happening and how do I solve the problem?
Thx for listening/AquaStealthDo you use a pixelfont? Whats the font name? If you use
pixelfont it needs
to be placed at exact X-Y position (non-comma value)

Creating webpage in fireworks CS3. Is text searchable by search engines?
Hello all,
I started using fireworks cs3 to design webpages. I've been
using Dreamweaver cs3. I'm new to the whole flash designing. When
you put text and images to design your whole layout, is the text
searchable by search engines?
I noticed that once you save your file as a swf when you open
it you can't highlight any text to copy? I was wondering how I
would go about putting the meta tag info in and make the text so
the search engines would be able to scan the pages to pull up in
search results?
Thank you all!FW can be used to create prototype HTML pages, but those
should never be
used for real production work. The code is fragile and
sub-optimal (as is
any wizard-based HTML). Your graphics application should be
used to produce
the images used on the page, which is created in Dreamweaver.

Text measurement in Fireworks CS3
Hi all,
I'm designing a phone app, and a styleguide for the design,
which require all the elements to be pixel perfect and add up to
the screen dimension. There are 2 problems I run into is how to
measure text in Fireworks CS3:
1) Fireworks CS3 measure text in point, not pixel. I use an
online converter but it doesn't quite work. (For example, 17point =
22.666 pixel. Should I just round it up to 23?)
2) Web text is measured based on the em square, not the size
of the character itself. Is there a way to find out the em square
size in Fireworks? (I thought the blue bounding box when the text
is selected is the em square, but I tried taking screenshot and
measure it, and it turned out that it's not the case).
So, to sum it up, what procedure should I follow to measure
text in a pixel perfect design in Fireworks CS3? Thanks.But what about the tutorial you did for Lynda.com where you inserted the google map within an i-frame? I am in a similar situation where I am trying to just insert a scrolling text box within my layout done within FWCS4 using similar layout. Just simple scrolling text box that's it.
I see what you are saying though. DW is the true HTML dev tool but I'm just having too much damn fun in FW and don't want to leave. :]

Fireworks CS3 Menu ???s
I am using Fireworks CS3 an I have an number of pop up menus I have created for a site. I have made some up grades in the site and I now must go back and change 1 word in all the links off the menus. What file is created for each menu and hold the data that is in it. Can that file be edited with a word processor to replace the word and then copied back? I have a few thousand to change and hate to think that 1 by 1 is the only way. Ideas?
HI, I found the links in the HTML file and was wble to edit them their. After many hours in front of the screen just to brain dead to remember.

Fireworks CS3 OS X constant crashes with complex files
I recently purchased CS3 and started using Fireworks CS3
instead of Photoshop for web development. Absolutely love it. I
started having crashes, mainly on opening complex files created in
Fireworks CS3. A couple weeks ago I formatted my entire system,
starting completely from scratch, only installing the applications
and fonts that I absolutely needed. Nevertheless, I continue to get
Fireworks crashes, which appear by the logs to be related to a
memory leak in Fireworks.
If Fireworks only crashed itself, the issue would be bad
enough. But it brings down several other apps with it. The apps are
different each time. Sometimes it crashes Mail and Dashboard
Calendar, sometimes it crashes Firefox and iCal. Rarely does it
crash only itself. And rarely does it crash all programs. It's
usually a random selection of apps.
All other CS3 apps have worked beautifully. All other apps on
the box work great. And the log is filled with stuff like:

would be appreaciated.

Thanks,
BrianHeaven forbid, Linda! How dare a Fireworks user talk about
his problem with yet another buggy Macrodobe product. The nerve!
Telling him to contact your support is like telling him to contact
the man in the moon because you've run out of cheese.
Brian, I share your frustration. Fireworks has become
completely unstable for me with large or complex files on my Mac.
It works much better on my PC though. It has been my experience
that almost all releases of Macrodobe software works this way on a
mac until late in its product cycle.
This, sadly, seems to be the way Macrodobe works though. :(
This is a user to user forum, Brian. There's not much we can
do about
such issues here. Your best bet would be to contact Adobe
Customer Service.

Fireworks CS3 Program Switching Issue
In the office we have 3 machines using Fireworks CS3 (part of Studio CS3). All the machines are experiencing the issue I am about to describe. Each machine is an Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB ram. All 3 machines are using Windows Vista.
We all had the old Vista Aero problem with brushes, and we quickly overcame this by using the "disable desktop composition" fix.
However, one problem we have never been able to solve occurs when switching between ANY application and Fireworks. There is a delay of at least 20-30 seconds (sometimes more) when trying to swap back to Fireworks. We have being doing various Google & Adobe forum searches regularly over the past 2+ years, looking in vein for a fix, but as yet have still not managed to find a solution or even a record of someone else with the same issue (mainly because out searches are dominated with the old "disable desktop composition" fix). We assumed it was a problem fundemental to CS3 yet still hold out hope for a solution.
Normally it's not a problem, but when working on websites which involve a lot of graphics edits and/or switching in and out of Fireworks it can quickly add a very frustrating hour or more to a job.
Recently, I was forced to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 7, and transfered my old CS3 install to the new machine. I was surprised to find that I can switch in and out of Fireworks instantly, much to the frustration of the other guys in the office who are unfortunately stuck with Vista for the time being.
Is there a fix for this horrible switching delay on Vista and has anyone else here even sufered with the same issue?
TL:DR - This is not the desktop composition problem with brushes which seems to domnate results when we try to search for a fix, this is a very noticable delay when swapping in and out of Fireworks.I'm affraid that didn't help. It actually slowed down the inital launch of the program and it took around 5 minutes for Fireworks to finally start. Once started the program switching issue was still present

YOu need to export the files from Fireworks to your
Dreamweaver site,
then if you want to use the Fireworks HTML, use the
Dreamweaver Insert >
Image Objects > Fireworks HTml feature.

Fireworks CS3: How to call a background
Hello,
At work, I use Fireworks CS3. My job is to normalize our
products pictures to the group’s colors.
In fact I take a picture and retouch it, then I load a
standard background, I put the pic on it and I export all in jpg.
Instead of searching for the background file in my computer
and copy/paste the detoured pic on it, I would like to
“call” this background as a calque into my document,
and automatically resize my document.
Is it possible ?
Sorry for my English, I’m French. Please use easy words

I'm guessing there is a batch process you could do here...

I've never used batch processing, so....

Motion Trail in Fireworks CS3?
I have been using Fireworks on a PC for quite a while. I am
not transitioning to use Fireworks CS3 on mac and have noticed the
motion-trail effect is non existent? Is this still an available
effect? If so, where is it located? And, how do you use it?
thanks-Do you mean "motion blur"? That's in the Live Filters. Click
the plus sign in the property inspector next to the word "filters".
Go to "Blur" then "Motion Blur". -
i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?
rebel1568,
All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC. You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop. You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines. You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
Of course, you could run your Windows on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.
