Firework elements pngs

Hello,
I purchased most of these png firework elements sets in the
past but would
be very interested in knowing any others sites that would
sell similar.
http://www.webberize.com/web_design/resources/templates/catalogue/fireworks-elements/
Please note they are not website templates but png images
that have all the
detail and info for me to slice and cut up and do what ever.
I found these
ones useful as regards the colours, and corner shapes, also
the fact that I
could cut the up and use only curtain parts in a website.
I would be very grateful if any one here knows of another
site that would
sell the similar, please note I know may sites out there give
away animated
gives etc but that is not what I am after, I am looking more
for the header,
button etc that gets included in the images from the site
above.
thanks
Kenny

Hey twocans -
Join Fwguru forum at
http://www.fireworksguruforum.com
- I've seen a few, but generally Fireworks users give this stuff
away for Free.
fireworkszone.com sells some commerically, also
rockettheme.com has a ton of templates created in Fireworks, but is
a subscription based service. Well worth it if you work with Joomla
or CMS's in general.
Also, just noticed these source PNGs was posted last week on
the exchange:

Saving Fireworks 8 png files

I am sure this is a well known problem, but I can't find a
solution that works. I am using Fireworks 8 on a PC with Windows
XP. For some unknown reason it has stopped saving png files,
although it will save as gif, jpeg etc.
When I try to save a file I get a message "Could not complete
the requested action. An internal error occurred". It is not a font
problem as it won't save a file which contains no fonts.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program,
deleting the preference file, but to no effect.
Can someone please point me to a solution that works.
Thanks for the help

Try deleting the Fireworks 8 preferences text. On my machine
it's located at
C:\Documents and Settings\Linda Rathgeber\Application

The file will rebuild itself when you reload the program,
resetting all
the defaults.

Fireworks 8 png image 160x400px

I created a button, used Alt and drag to create 5 vertical
buttons, yellow up, blue down. It's a png file that I will export
to Dreamweaver. In Properties, the Text option is greyed out. In my
'experimental' button, the Text option is available and I can
easily add text to the 5 buttons. Sadly my experimental one is not
the size or colors I actually want. What am I missing to get the
Text active?
thanks

Maybe you did something out of order. Go to this site and
view the tutorial called "button editor".

Good luck!

Corrupted Fireworks CS3 PNG file

I was half way through saving my huge PNG (15 pages worth)
when the power went out and now I can't even open it (could not
open the file, unknown file type).
Is there any way I can fix my it?
I did make a backup copy of it yesterday but I have several
hours of work done on it today...
Thanks for any info.
Lisa (desperate)

Lisa,
I don't know of anyway to recover your lost work this time.
Be greatful
you had a backup from yesterday.
As a consolation, for the future, there is an extension that
once
installed allows you to specify a period of time (hours/
minutes) to
auto save the file for you.

Fireworks element selection issue on mavericks

Hey all,
I've ran into multiple issues with the CC version of FW on OS X Mavericks for the past month (minimally). The biggest issue i'm having is with selecting layers. I am able to click and drag to select them, but simply clicking on them doesn't work. Also, importing images "cmd + r" doesn't add the image when selected without clicking and dragging to size it. Previously i was able to double click to add it in it's original size. There are a few other random issues, but those two are very consistent across all of my machines, and are really crippling my productivity. Is anyone experiencing this, or have any ideas for resolving it? I find it hard to believe i'm the only one with the problem since it's happening on all of my machines.
What i've tried so far:
- Completely removing all traces of FW and reinstalling it
- Restarting (obviously)
- Checking the console for errors that stand out.
There are a few console errors that might be related (but they mean nothing to me):
26/07/2014 13:15:45.837 WindowServer[86]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Adobe Fireworks CS6" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.

Please use `CGSFlushWindowContentRegion' instead.

Same issue here but with Premiere Pro.
Closing Spotify seems to work. Even if I have Quicktime open with an mp3 loaded up, it crashes. Also saving doesn't work. But that may be a separate issue.
This didn't happen before the new Mac Pro and Yosemite. Le sigh...

Bug in fireworks CS4 when exporting 24/32bit png with transparent alpha?

Hi there,
I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3 and am quite disappointed to find that the png export facility for 24 or 32 bit png's is next to useless on my installation of Fireworks (Vista). I have a colleage who has reported the same behanviour on his mac.
Please see this native fireworks CS4 png file and attempt to export it as 24 or 34 bit png, ensuring the canvas is transparent (it shuold be already)...
http://www.capitalh.net/demo-bug.png
Viewing in preview mode in CS3 would show the png with its alpha channel indicated by the chequered transparent pattern. Exporting it as such would produce the desired result > a png with a nice blended alpha channel.
Viewing in preview mode in CS4 shows a horrible render of the image on a white background. Exporting the image produces the same result. Please see this link for confirmation:
http://www.capitalh.net/demo-bug-export.png
Please also see this simpler image, this time using a simple ellipse shape:
http://www.capitalh.net/demo-bug-export-simpleshape.png
You'll notice that it is not transparent, and the ellipse has not been anti-aliased.
Can anyone shed some light on this behaviour?
Exporting png's as such is something that I do daily at work, and is a basic requirement of an image editting application targetted at web design.
Am I doing something wrong? I've been using Fireworks since 2003 so I'm inclined to think that I'm not.

That's a bit, um, oh never mind. Would've been a rubbish joke anyway.
Aww...pooh. I love "rubbish" jokes!
If fireworks is unable to export a transparent png at 24bit, then why have the option?
(granted the option is acutally implied, not given)
Also, why the horrible rendering on preview and export?
Transparency for 24-bit isn't an option and isn't implied. Create a FW document with a transparent canvas. Go to File>Image Preview. If you select PNG8 as your export option, then you have drop-downs for No Transparency, Index Transparency, or Alpha Transparency. PNG32 shows the checkerboard where the document is transparent. If you select PNG24, you do not have the transparency options. Transparent areas in your document are set to white, just as they are if you select the JPEG format. Try it.
I don't know why your rendering is horrible. I'd have to see your image.
And also, why all this confusion related to Photoshop, seems Adobe really aren't helping the issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/152434
Possibly Adobe thought it was less confusing, as they didn't have to go into the math. However, you do see Linda Rathgeber's answer, that the Photoshop convention is...well...misleading? (I'd call it wrong, but that's just me. ) It's just one other issue to bring into alignment as Adobe works to merge the Macromedia offerings into their line.

Fireworks PNG file format specification

Are there any documents on Adobe's PNG format? Is there an SDK? Someone I can contact to get my hands on some documentation for this format? I am particularly interested in Adobe's mkTS and mkBT PNG chunks. Any help or direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Seriously don't you have any idea of the end-goal ?
Fireworks uses PNG as native file format, which is really good, decorated with meta-data to store plots and layers information, still a good idea...
...but does not provide a clear specification of such metadata, which is really bad as it captures users to a proprietary format.
Remember that people use your software because they found it efficient, not because they're obliged to, for interoperabity issues.

How to add a button to background image in Fireworks

Hello!
I created recently a clickable button with a rollover effect. I made it iin FW CS5 as a symbol and exported. So I have now .html file and 2 images files (2 states of my button). The button itself works fine on a live site. Now, I want to learn a technique to be able to put that button with the effect and the link in it on an image (it would be like a background for the button).
Thanks in advance!

Two things.
First, when you save from Fireworks, you get a Fireworks document .png, complete with layers, vector objects, and all the other various complex definitions Fireworks can support. Fireworks is the only program that can interpret this information. Any other program (such as a browser) can display what the document looks like, but it's probably much larger than it needs to be for the Web. For Web use, you want to export an image (.gif, .jpg, or one of the bitmap .png variations). Be careful when you export an image to a bitmap .png format that you do not use the same name as your master FW document and overwrite your FW document.
Second, DW is not a layout program. In order to create HTML files, you probably ought to learn a bit about HTML. I recommend you work through one or both of these tutorials:
http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/html-css-beginners-guide
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
An HTML file defines blocks of content. The blocks can be stacked or can contain other blocks. The basic html file contains two blocks: the head section and the body section. The only thing in the head section that shows is the page title in the browser's address bar. Also, JavaScript code is often put in the head section. The body section contains all the visible content of your page. Within the body section, you add blocks of content that are HTML elements.
Content blocks can have properties., One of the properties is a background image. If you want to have a page background, then you need to create an image, export it from Fireworks, and then set it as the background for the body section of the page. That image is then behind all the content blocks you define within the body section: buttons, paragraphs, other images, tables, anything. Most of these other elements can also have background images defined, too.
Fireworks produces images that are defined by what's visible as well as any active slices (such as those created by buttons). When you exported your background image with a button, Fireworks gave you an HTML table (one of the many kind of content blocks) because the button defined slice regions. Fireworks can't "know" that you really wanted a background image and then the HTML to put a button in a certain location on a page. It created the images you defined (but not what you wanted).

Last element in string

Hello all
I am having a string like this:
55.000000; 10.000000; 0.100000; 1.000000; 1.000000; 0.100000; 0.000000; 0.000000; 1.000000; 1.000000; 22.000000; 0.100000; 6144.000000;
The length of the string is not always same. What i want is to have the last element. i.e in this case 6144
One way is to get the string length and using string subset to get the last element. But for this, the length must be always constant.
Is there any other way to get the last element independant of the string length
thanks

********************Kudos are alwayzz Welcome !! ******************
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since you have the extra semicolon at the end, I actually grabbed the second-to-last element of the array after the spreadsheet string to array.

Did Adobe drop Fireworks support from Flash Catalyst Beta?

Hi all,
I'm a UI designer and am naturally very excited about Thermo / Flast Catalyst. I just rushed to download the beta but was dismayed to see that Flash Catalyst does not properly import Fireworks (CS4) files -- i.e. they were imported as a giant image instead of pages/layers/objects. Was this functionality dropped in just the beta, or is this something that product will lose in production too.
Fireworks has always felt forgotten by the Adobe team (buggy, buggy, buggy) -- I hope this isn't another instance of that happening.

If Adobe finally decides to use part of Fireworks's ".PNG" engine, they shouldn't have to introduce .FXG into the Fireworks product line, since the onus is on Flash Catalyst to port Fireworks, not the other way around.
Using the Fireworks engine, features such as "Pages", or perhaps even Fireworks's "States", would allow for more seamless “.PNG” porting into Catalyst. Also, doing so, would eliminate all those steps one has to take to merely generate states within Catalyst—saving UI designers time by giving them the option to simply make adjustments to the Catalyst timeline. Not only is this faster, but it makes more logical sense!
Ahh...I am beginning to think Adobe’s in over their heads with this one.

Fireworks won't export as Illustrator

Hi, I need to export my Fireworks-8 .png designs as Adobe
Illustrator, but when I do it, the output file is very small (73kb
vs original png size of 9mb) and when opened has huge "X"s
thoughout and jumbled text. Does anyone know what I might be doing
wrong? Your suggestions would be very much apprciated!

You're not doing anything wrong. Fireworks only supports AI
version 8
for export, so chances are the things you have in the FW
document don't
translate to that incredibly old Illustrator version.
You will have better luck exporting as a Photoshop file, but
even that
in FW 8 was not particularly good.

How to name elements and create cluster of named elements

I wanted to detail the steps I found, so that others could more easily follow what I found going through these discussions. While there are numerous examples, they lack details such as function names and how to achieve the steps. Most of them seem to cover only arrays. I welcome corrections. I'm not saying this is the best way; it is, however, a simple detailed description of one way to do it.
I wanted to create a cluster of various data types that could then be manipulated by name. Unfortunately, simply wiring an existing cluster to a Bundle by Name.vi does not assign the existing labels of the elements to the name field of the cluster. I don't know why.
1. Create an input cluster with dummy constants of the proper data type for each element.
How do you create an input cluster? Searching functions finds no "Input Cluster" function.
The only way I found was to place a dummy Bundle by Name.vi , right-click at the top of the leftmost of the two rectangles and select Create, then Constant. The result looks like the attached Creating Input Cluster.PNG
You might as well delete the Bundle by Name.vi at this point, because the changes make to the input cluster will only be reflected when it is connected to a NEW Bundle by Name.vi
Next, for my purposes, I needed constants for DBL numeric, string, and array of strings. I started by placing one DBL and one string constant on the block diagram. I copied these to create the ones I needed. Make the labels visible and type in the names corresponding the Bundle Names desired.
Since there is no function called "String Array constant", it is necessary to place the "Array Constant" function on the Block Diagram, then drag a string constant into the empty right hand square of the Array Constant. It immediately changes color to show it is a string array.
Drag each of these constants into the input cluster so that they appear in the order desired. It is a bit of a pain because the square resizes tightly around the existing elements after each insertion. You have to keep expanding the box at the bottom by dragging its sizing handles, so you can be sure each item is added to the bottom of the list. When done, my input cluster looks like Completed Input Cluster.png attached.
2. Place a NEW Bundle by Name.vi on the Block Diagram. Wire the input cluster to the top of the left rectangle of the function. Drag the down sizing handle of the Bundle by Name.vi until all the elements of the cluster are visible. You will see the names and it will look like Bundle by Name with assigned names.png attached.
3. All that remains is to connect the data wires for the individual elements to the left side of each named block and wire the output cluster. The result is shown in Complete design producing cluster of named elements.PNG attached. (Since only three attachments seem to be allowed, this last will be in a follow-up post.)

I wanted to add a brief statement about EDITING cluster controls because newcomers to cluster usage (like myself). The HELP is good on creation but says nothing about modification. While it has been posted other places, I think a "newbie" might appreciate getting this info here.
To edit a cluster control, open the CTL file, then
Add a control by creating the control on the front panel, then save the control.
To remove a a control, delete the control, then save the control file.
(Simple enough)
To modify an existing control
1. Move the control out of the cluster into a blank VI.
2. SAVE the cluster control file (CTL).
3. Modify the control in the blank VI.
4. Drag the modified control back into the cluster control.
5. SAVE the cluster control file (CTL)
NOTE WELL: don't skip step 2.

Fireworks won't launch as DW editor

I have had a problem on two Mac OS X 10.4.8 systems where FW
will not launch as the image editor from DW. The error that is
thrown asks one to verify the application exists and has enough
memory to run. Well, it does and there is. Even the path is correct
that the error shows pointing to FW.
I can reset FW in DW prefs to launch all day long, but it
will not. HOWEVER, it will launch just fine to "optimize" an image.
Has anyone corrected this issue? As I said, it's happening on
two systems both running FW8 and OS X 10.4.8.

Dreamweaver edit with Fireworks

I have a website designed using Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I have upgraded to CS3 and now trying to make changes to Dreamweaver file using Fireworks original png file that created the html, is seemingly impossible. I have set the default editor to Fireworks and deleted all other editors showing.... cleared all temp files and restarted machine didn't help with this problem. I keep seeing a "pencil" icon for the editor in Dreamweaver and it wants to go to a program called "PhotoPad" that I didn't even know I had. I even changed the exe program name for photo pad and all I get now is an error that it can't find the program. I still only have Fireworks set as the default for the png file that created it. It seems it wants to change a .jpg slice and I want to go out to fireworks as I always did in the past, edit the png file, click "done" and have it update the html file. Why isn't this possible anymore? and what happened to change it? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your reply... I guess I thought I made myself so clear but somehow did not. I just got so used to going in Dreamweaver, clicking on a slice and pressing the Fireworks button that when I saw a pencil icon instead... I guess I just "over-thought" the problem.
I did not knowingly bring in PhotoPad, so I am not sure how it got into my system but I am getting rid of it. Here is what had happened. I have worked long enough on files that I do know you can't edit an .html file in Fireworks and that was what was so frustrating because I could not get to the png file even though it was the default editor. My mistake was that I had set the .png file to edit in Fireworks but forgot that the "slices" are .jpg and .gif. So.... when I went back to Dreamweaver and set the editor for those file types to Fireworks... it worked. I opened Fireworks... and then I could choose the .png file that created all those blasted slices, make my changes, and click the "done" button which took me back to Dreamweaver and updated my changes.
Thanks again!
