Creating CSS text in Fireworks... or should I say not.

I am so frustrated with Fireworks. I have the latest update, and I am still having problems creating text and exporting as html/css. I've tried deleting elements I though might be causing issues, still no go. I get either no css styling, some styling or some variation in between. I've viewed a few tutorials online and it looks like it should be very easy.
I should state that I am importing a PSD & ILLIO file (tried playing around with both, and still nuttin. Do I need to recreate this fully in FW? Hope not. Will that even work?
I'm a college teacher and I hadn't planned on using Fireworks, but after opening the Overview DVD that came with the software it looked like a great solution for us designers that don't know much or anything about CSS/HTML, now I'm not so sure... and I need to have this ready for my class Wed! Thinking of abandoning FW entirely, which would be dissapointing, cause it seems like a great bridge between design and implementation.
Also when trying to export slices as PNG 24 I am still getting matting even though I have a transparent canvas and have deselected matting in the preview window. Seems really buggy.
Any GURUs that could take a look at my file to lend some help?
Help appreciated!
Matt

PNG 24 does not support transparency in Fireworks. For that you need to choose PNG 8 or PNG 32. Note that Fireworks is a bitmap and graphics editor with multi page prototyping capabilities.  Use it for creating mockups for clients, and images for for web pages. It's not a WYSIWYG HTML editor.  Use Dreamweaver to build the actual web pages.

  • How to create a text tag that shows up in a file but not on the sceen.

    I need some help, I'm a newbie with enough skill to be dangerous.  If someone can point me in the right direction has to how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible
    in a text editor but not the text file.  That would be great.  If you wish to show some code examples that's OK, but if not I can stumble through and learn while doing it from your directions on how to get it done.
    I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do; using the old desktop pub program Ventura.  They had (what I'm calling a tag) tags in from of ASCII text in a file to tell the program what it was and what to do with it, I. E.; "Title@this
    is the title text" the next line could be "Body@this is body text".  When loaded the "Title@" would not be there on the screen.
    I'm trying to create some text that uses a similar concept but not for formatting of text like Ventura. 
    I want to be able to highlight some text in an editor and then have it place some sort of tag for the highlighted text so that I could use it to do something upon that text and only that text; in concept the text "Bob Brush was a painter." I would
    highlight Bob Brush and somehow assign a tag that would be "name" and then highlight "painter" and be tagged with "job".
    The text file would then have something in it to distinguish "Bob Brush" and "painter" as what each is name and job.  (as a note I'm not trying to make a database or form just using this simplified concept to get my idea across
    because I get to wordy).
    Thanks in advance BK

    Hi bik,
    >> how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible in a text editor but not the text file. 
    It is unclear to me. Like you mentioned F keys, how does it work for?  And Could you show us some code with a simple sample or a capture? It could be better to help us understand more.
    In addition, I found a related thread

  • I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

    I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

    1) design for no wider than 600px (otherwise it may not fit in email clients).
    2) Slice up your newsletter design in segments for images and html areas with the slice tool.
    3) add the <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">my website</a> link in one of the html areas.
    4) export as generic html 4 code, and put the images in a separate folder.
    5) upload all the images to your website's server in a folder (you cannot embed images in an email newsletter - they must link to externally hosted images).
    6) change all the links in your html page to the ones that were loaded up on your server. For example, an image's source link would work out similar to this: <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newsletter/image1.jpg" alt="alternate description of your image">
    7) open the newsletter with working external images in Chrome or Firefox. Select the entire page content (ctrl-a), and copy it (ctrl-c).
    8) create a new email in your mail client. Place the cursor in the body. Paste the newsletter (ctrl-v).
    9) send your newsletter to hundreds of recipients, and get blacklisted by several email servers. Receive warning messages from your own hosting provider not to spam other users' email accounts.
    10) realize this is too much of a hassle, and instead opt for a service such as MailChimp.
    (The result in (9) depends on whether you sent out your newletter only to acquaintances, or not. But even then you might be warned off.)
    Btw, many email clients turn off images in an email by default. You must provide the most important content as html, not as images.

  • Keep text as text from Fireworks, and not as an image

    Hey all first time posting. Anyway I must say I'm simply love discovering roundtrip editing between Dreamweaver and Fireworks, but I've run into a minor problem.
    So I create my entire site in Fireworks, import it to Dreamweaver and use roundtrip editing to fix anything up. The problem is that when I create a text field in Fireworks and import it to Dreamweaver, the text becomes an image. This wouldn't make my site very search engine friendly.
    p.s. I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in Fireworks or Dreamweaver forum, sorry.

    CS5 or CS3... it makes little difference.  The procedure itself hasn't changed much in 8 years. Don't expect to learn everything from a single tutorial either.  You will need to learn HTML & CSS.  After you understand code basics, positioning with CSS will become clearer and DW will be much easier to learn.

    "Enjoy your visit" And then again after 1-2 seconds changes
    to
    "please e-mail" and then atter 1-2 seconds changes back to
    "WELCOME" and repeats

    Use Dreamweaver, of course.
    Fireworks is a graphics program. It is not designed to
    produce robust HTML, much less templates for Dreamweaver.
    Fireworks' HTML is for mockup/prototype use only. Use Fireworks to
    create your mockups, then your Web site graphics.
    Dreamweaver is a heavy-duty Web site design, development, and
    production program. Use Dreamweaver to build an HTML page based on
    your Fireworks image, then use Dreamweaver's Save as Template
    command, making sure to mark areas where you want to be able to
    enter/edit content. After that, you can create new pages using your
    template.
    Good luck!

  • Creating dynamic text in the picture

    I created a picture where the background has a gradient color

    try using firework to slice out as a HTML so in order for me to put
    the text but i will not have the background color..
    can anyone help me or teach what can i do? if anyone don't
    understand i have upload a picture so will understand what i'm
    trying to say:

    A picture doesn't help. We need to see the html to understand
    how you built the page. In any case, inserting the text into that
    space should be trivial. Please post a url to the site.

    My problem:
    1)
    I am not able to write to the file. I want to know, where i am going wrong.
    It is giving error message like
    "Canot resolve Symbol: temp,"
    But, FileWriter Constructor should accept a File type parameter.
    here temp is a file parameter.
    If i am not using file=new file();
    i can't delete the file after the use. i.e if i use
    PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
    how can i delete cute.txt after the use?
    2)
    I am not able to write to the text file. file is created but, a blank file.
    "Hello" is not written into the text file.
    can anyone help me in this regard
    Thanks in advance
    Ashvini

    Thank you Ram,
    But, i want to create a text file in Append mode.
    for that i used
    FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); But, it is not accepting FileWriter constructor in
    this format. if i use
    FileWriter fos = new
    FileWriter("c:/ash/cute.txt",true); it works fine. !!!!!Here's the javadoc
    public FileWriter(File file,
    boolean append)
    throws IOExceptionConstructs a FileWriter object given a File object. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning.
    Parameters:
    file - a File object to write to
    append - if true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning
    Throws:
    IOException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason
    Since:
    1.4
    Are you using jdk.13 or lower ?
    >
    ONe more doubt, Does flush method deletes a file?
    if not, then i need to use
    File temp=new File("c:/ash/cute.txt");
    FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); //which
    is again a problem
    if(temp.delete())
    out.println("File is deleted");
    }I don't know whether i am taking it wrong ! or
    anything wrong with my coding ! but, after creating
    and writing data into a text file. I must delete it
    as it contains confidential informations.
    Regards,
    Thanks.'flush' writes to a file immediately. Else you should explicitly call 'flush' to write contents from buffer to underlying source.
    javadoc again
    PrintWriter
    public PrintWriter(Writer out,
    boolean autoFlush)Create a new PrintWriter.
    Parameters:
    out - A character-output stream
    autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the println, printf, or format methods will flush the output buffer
    cheers,
    ram.
    Question; What do you gain by opening a file, writing to it and deleting it in the same program ?

  • How to create a text editor, the one like header text in PO

    Dear Ones,
    My requirement is that I want to create a text editor for storing terms and condition plant wise.
    The editor should be the one like header text in PO. It can take end number of lines.
    I created the text object ('TERMS') in table ttxob and text for it in table ttxot.
    Also created text id ('L000' and 'L001') in table ttxid and text for it in table ttxit.
    Now using FM read_text, save_text and edit_text, I have written a program but it does not save the data.
    When I run the program initially it displays me blank, then I enter some data into it. Again when I come back it displays the data and also saves the edition. But if I close my session the data is gone.
    It means it is not actually saving the data in database. My code is as below:

  • How to create a text prompt in Flex?

    I need to create a prompt box with a text field and OK/cancel
    buttons. I need to capture what the user enters into the text field
    an store it.
    I have done confirmation boxes before:
    Alert.show("Reset the Application?", "Alert", Alert.OK |
    Alert.CANCEL, this, alertListener, null, Alert.OK);
    But how do I get a text prompt?

    You should just create a separate component. You can use
    PopupManager to create the component like Alert is created.

  • I was given an assingment, but have no idea where to begin. The assingment is to create a text file using notepad with all of my digital inputs and some how make those imputs show up on my digital indicators on my control pannel

    I was given an assingment, but have no idea where to begin. The assingment is to create a text file using notepad with all of my digital inputs and some how make those imputs show up on my digital indicators on my control pannel.
    When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

    This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
    This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
    OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
    "...but have no idea where to begin".
    open notepad.
    decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
    type the document.
    close notepad.
    open LabVIEW.
    Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
    (are you still following?)
    look at the diagram.
    Who made the program?
    Does the code make sense so far?
    Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
    Where do you want to add the file read?
    How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
    See how far you get!

  • Using AppleScript to create a text file, based on an OCR'd file's content

    Hey guys, I've got an interesting situation.
    I was wondering if there would be anyway to use something like AppleScript (or the like) to create a text document and fill it with information based on what is found in an already OCR'd file?
    For example: I have a paycheck stub. The stub contains the words "Gross Pay" and the value "$xxxx.xx" on one line. Using Hazel to identify paychecks (based upon filenames), could I then use something like AppleScript, to create a new text file, and then pull the text from the line that contains the word's "Gross Pay" and insert it into the text file's next line?
    Ex:
    March 26,2012      
    Gross Pay                   $xxxx.xx
    April 6,2012
    Gross Pay                   $xxxx.xx
    Kind of how TurboTax's iPhone app pulls text from an image, then uses the values to insert it into the app's appropriate fields?
    I know this may be a lot to ask, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  • Trying to create a text item with a scroll bar in Indesign 5.5

    Is there a simple way to create a scrollable text article in Indesign 5.5? It will later be exported to a SWF as a mini-flash web portfolio.
    I would appreciate any help.
    I'm new to Indesign.

    Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
    entry) or one for displaying your content?
    If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
    appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
    textarea
    description at W3Schools.
    If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
    done with CSS. See these two pages:
    Dynamic
    text with scrollbar (Flash)
    Textbox
    with scrollbar (CSS)

  • Using Automator to create a text box of certain size

    I'm very new to using automator... in fact I haven't used it at all, but I am wondering if I can use it to create a text box of the same size each type to type in within preview (a PDF document).  Basically I want to click or push something and have a text box be generated that is the same size each time.
    Thanks!

    1. In the Finder actions you will need:
    - Get Specified Finder Items, and point it towards the folder that will contain the movie.
    - Get Folder Contents - to get what's inside the folder.
    - Filter Finder Items - set to filter by 'Name Extension' 'Is equal to' 'mov' and make sure all your video files have the right extension...
    - Open Finder Items - in QT Player - note that this might cause problems if there are multiple files in the folder...
    Then from the QT Player actions:
    - Play Movies.
    2. Save As... Application, then after saving, drag the app into the login items for the user account.
    3. That's going to need some AppleScript, but this thread should get you started:
