Fireworks and dreamweaver issue. How they work seamlessly?

Hi, I am new to these programs.
I am trying to make a website using fireworks and
dreamweaver. I've made my navigation area and headline in fireworks
(simple navigation on left side and header on top). When I export
this to dreamweaver, I am unable to make text etc in the blank area
(main body content area) because as soon as I start typing,
dreamweaver moves my navigation around because I think it is
somehow linked to the main body area?
I think I am missing a crucial step in this process.
How do I use fireworks and dreamweaver seamlessly to allow me
to edit body content of my pages, and not have it change anything
on my navigation area?

  • Isolate blending and knockout groups: how they work

    I have no idea, I`m not getting any visual changes when trying them as seen here.
    can someone show me whats supposed to happen when I tick those options? with a screen capture perhaps before and after with layers and transparency palette in the screen cap?
    to my reading, isolate blending should keep the interaction of blend modes to any overlapping objects in the group, ignoring anything under the group.
    knockout group should not show any interaction between objects with overlapping fills within the group, only interaction with underlying objects below the group.
    but I`m not getting either of these outcomes.

    When trying to understand a feature, work with the simplest objects to which you can apply the feature. Don't confuse matters with other effects (in this case, your Pattern fill).
    As the tooltips indicate:
    The Knockout Group checkbox "Prevents the elements of a Group from showing through each other." Think of it as "knockout within the group."
    1. Three squares with normal transparency overlaid on a cyan triangle:
    2. The three squares grouped:
    3. Group selected. Knockout Group turned on. Each square still has its own Opacity value, but it only affects objects outside the Group. Inside the Group, the squares knockout each other:
    The Isolate Blending checkbox "Prevents blending modes from being applied past the bottom of a Group." Think of the emphasis being on BLENDING MODES:
    1. Three squares with Multiply transparency overlaid on a cyan triangle:
    2. The three squares grouped:
    3. Group selected. Isolate Blending turned on. Transparency is "normal" outside the Group:
    4. Group selected. Knockout Group on. Each square still has its own Opacity value, but it only affects objects outside the Group. Inside the Group, the squares knockout each other. Outside the Group, Blending mode (Multiply) is in effect:
    5. Group selected. Both Knockout Group and Isolate Blending on. Each square still has its own Opacity value, but it only affects objects outside the Group. Inside the Group, the squares knockout each other. Blending mode (Multiply) is isolated to the Group; beyond the Group, Transparency is normal:

  • Better process for introducing new features and explaining how they work

    There are all kinds of new features being added to the Creative Cloud app but knowing what they are and learning about how they work isn't the most user friendly process. The current process is read the release notes after updating to a new version. The release notes should hyperlink to the related features in the product help. It would be great if there was a "What's New" section for the Creative Cloud app itself with new releases which included an introduction to new features just like there is for the desktop products.

    This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

  • Coupon Apps and How they work...

    I would like a coupon app, but am confused about how they work?  Do you scan the barcoad of an item at the store and see if it finds a coupon for you?  And if a coupon is found, does it display a coupon for you to use at the register when you pay?
    For those of you that are using a coupon app, could you explain how it works?  I would appreciate it.

    I have used the old MyCoups app. The bar code was not available then. To get coupons, what I did was I sent them to my email address. After they were on my email acccount I printed them out. I know the new app includes the bar code thing. You can scan a barcode and after you do that, it'll show you where you can buy it

  • I know this sounds ridiculous, but do you have to have Fireworks and Dreamweaver to create a website?

    Many years ago, I had a copy of fireworks and dreamweaver.  It seemed like I only worked with fireworks and created websites, links etc.  Do you have to have both and somehow they work in tandem?    

    My suggestion would be to forget about Fireworks, because the application's development was stopped in May 2013, and no updates are coming its way either. It is dead software, unfortunately. It is already experiencing compatibility problems on the latest Mac OS, for example, and it is only going to get worse.
    To create a simple website, you have two choices: you either learn basic html and css code (as Mylenium suggested), or you use a visual editor.
    I have a feeling you veer towards the visual editor solution, so here are some options:
    - http://www.softpress.com/freeway-express/
    - http://www.kompozer.net/
    - Web Design Software by Xara: Xara Web Designer
    - Adobe Muse
    ... or install WordPress through your host (most web hosts offer a one-click install option), choose a nice template from the tens of thousands available online, and start adding content.

  • Help With Fireworks and Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I am a graphic designer wanting to expend mt skillset. Mainly because I am currently at a job day to day that requires minimal amount of web stuff. It would benefit me greatly to have the web skills too. Anyway, I am having trouble in fireworks and dreamweaver. Sometimes something gets handed to me and I can open it DW and edit th text, send it back and it is fine. ready to go. More recently, I have been asked to change some marginal issues, plus create some things from scratch. I naturally went to Fireworks to do my layouts. I need to understand the best way to create something in FW and export it so that the code is as complete as possible fro DW. I know it is not that simple, but the web work that I am doing fro right now is VERY simple stuff. i just dont know the basics to get it done. Please help.
    Thanks

    Fireworks is not a coding environment. Use Fireworks to design your layout and export your graphics. Use Dreamweaver to write the code to implement the design. The code that Fireworks can export is for creating prototypes with; it isn't intended for live sites.
    If you want to expand your skill sets in the Web area, then that means learning HTML and CSS. You cannot get by on the exported code of a graphics program. Here are a couple of beginner tutorials:

    How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    in dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

    Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

  • Crop Marks – is this how they work?

    I haven't had to use crop marks before – my books have been printed on sheets the same size as the InDesign page. Now however, I am about to print a small book, 4-Up, on sheets larger than the page size, so I will need to add crop marks. I want to run my understanding of how to place crop marks on the page and how they will be used by the guillotine man, past some of the experts on this forum.
    And before anyone says: "Crop marks are the printer's job. Just let him do it", or somesuch comment – in this case it's not the printer's job, it's mine. I've chosen to do everything: the writing, the layout, purchase of the paper (910 x 650 sheets), the cutting of the paper, the imposition, the printing, arranging the cutting of the sheets, and then the binding. So, I need to know about crop marks. This is what I have discovered, or guessed (please correct me if I'm wrong):
    Assume a page size in InDesign of 100 x 200 mm. When you export to PDF and tick Crop Marks and set Offset to a certain dimension, two things happen:
    The page size is increased to (100 + 2 (Offset + 5.3)) in width, and (200 + 2 (Offset + 5.3)) in height. In the case of an offset of 5 mm, the page dimensions of the PDF become 120.6 x 220.6 mm.
    Crop marks of 5.3mm in length (5/12"), are placed at the four corners of the new page pointing inwards to the original page size. Thus, in this case, there is a gap of 5mm, the chosen offset, between the end of the crop marks and the original page. This offset allows for movement of the sheets during printing, so that when the crops are made the crop marks won't appear on any of the pages. i.e. the offset is greater than the expected sheet movement.
    The guillotine man, when he comes to cut the sheets, lines up the narrow beam of light from the guillotine with one of the crop marks – and cuts that edge. Now there are only two crop marks left because two have been cut off in this first cut.
    The guillotine man then rotates the sheets 90º and cuts again. Now there is only one crop mark left.
    The sheets are again rotated, the beam of light lined up with the remaining crop mark, and the third cut is made. There are no more crop marks left.
    For the final cut, the sheets are rotated 90º, but as there are no crop marks left, the appropriate dimension has to be entered into the guillotine (or marked out on the top sheet), and the cut is made.
    I have yet to confirm with my guillotine man that steps 3-6 describe how he will do it. That's simply how I imagine it would happen. And in the case of 4-Up, a couple of extra cuts will be needed in the centre, depending on how the imposed pages are positioned.
    Is the above an accurate description of how crop marks are inserted and how they are used?

    Thanks for the responses.
    Stix: Personally if adding Crop marks in InDesign (I prefer to use an imposition program) I like to make them even numbers, e.g. 3mm offset and 7mm long crop marks, whoch give a PDF size that is bigger by 10mm on each side.
    Yes, it would make it easier if numbers were whole integers. But how do you tell InDesign to make a certain-length crop mark? I assumed it was fixed at 30 point (5/24" = 5.292 mm).
    cdflash: I'm sure there are good answers to all of these questions but they are not in the opening post.
    I tried to keep my question as simple as possible, hence I didn't elaborate. But to answer some of your queries…
    Or is the OP going to impose each sheet with 24 pages to view?… I am imposing using only InDesign using a method I developed. It's a very flexible method and works beautifully for 2-Up and 4-Up. Some of the imposition software I trialled several years ago was highly sus and not capable, for example, of generating variable-length signatures. I suppose the up-market programs would be okay, but I can't justify spending thousands on a program I might only use a few times.
    Out of interest: can the software you suggested, Creo Preps, impose with these signature lengths: 6,6,4,4,4,8 (numbers of sheets per signature; total 128 pages)?
    How many pages are in the book? How many copies of the book are required?… Size of Coracina is 148.5mm x 191 mm, 128 pages, 50 copies. The figures I gave for page size were examples only.
    … and impose so that the pages get cut out as single pages and then hand-collated?… Printed sheets are 4-Up on SRA3. I chose SRA3 late in the piece when the printer told me that the click-charge was the same no matter what the paper size. Prior to that I was intending to print on A4. Printing costs are now halved.
    Why is the OP handling this and not the printer?… I like a challenge, I like to be in control of the process, I like to learn, and I like to save money.
    Tanksinker
    Check out the images at the bottom of https://sites.google.com/site/tanksinker/Home/max-burns-tanksinker if you'd like to see how I make a book. Doing it all myself results in huge savings. Tanksinker cost me about $10,000 all up, only half of which I got back in sales. It's a hobby. I don't expect or want to profit from it. To print 50 copies of Tanksinker commercially, judging by what a local offset printer told me, would have cost $50k-100k for the plates alone (2 proofs, 400x4 plates each proof, $20-30/plate).
    Coracina
    I have been to see the guillotine man after reading all the posts above, and he confirmed that the crop marks I was using would be suitable (I just drew them on a piece of paper; I didn't show him the real thing). He did make a useful suggestion: he would trim the SRA3 sheet along the top and bottom of each book-spread (4 horizontal trims), but not trim to the left and right crop marks (vertical trims) because that would be done anyway when trimming the fore-edge after the book was sewn and glued.
    A sample page of Coracina, with crop marks ready for printing, can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5eidx1c61o7jrjx
    Printing of the first three copies is tomorrow morning, Tasmania time. If the crop marks on the sample, or any other aspect of the layout looks in any way sus or likely to cause problems, please let me know.
    Oh, and I should add that Coracina is my partner's book. Way too girly for me. I'm just the technical consultant, shall I say.

  • Phonegap and Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't work

    Phonegap and Dreamweaver have never worked together for me.  With CS5.5 I was never able to build anything with Phonegap and Dreamweaver.  I was hoping that with CS6 and Adobe's aquistion that Phonegap might acually work with Dreamweaver, not so.  Any time I try and build Phonegap with Dreamweaver CS6 I get the following error:

    >After a long Time (more than 1 minute) i have the same message as Colorado saying "trouble with ours servers...".
    I was selecting "create new project" from the select dropdown menu and then pressing next.
    >After the error message i cant try a second Time because the dropdown select and the continue button are disabled.

    - and then working on my PC after dreamwaever ask my phonegap login/password.

  • PDF forms and how they work with different Reader versions

    I'll start this off by giving a little background information and describing a workflow scenario. I work as an InHouse designer for a company that keeps the majority of the employee population always a few versions behind. Fortunately, for us designers they keep us updated, but it doesn't always play nicely when you're saving your PDFs for older versions of Acrobat Reader.
    What happens is that I create a form in InDesign, export a PDF, and then create my form fields in Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac. After saving for version 9 I then take the PDF and test within the Windows environment which our IT is enforcing Acrobat Reader 7. The PDF opens ok and I can fill out the form, but I cannot save. I then open in Acrobat Pro 7 for Windows and then it gives the option to save or make modifications.
    My questions really come down to whether or not Reader 7 is doing this because of how old the technology is, or if that would change if our IT would allow Acrobat Reader 8 or 9? Now I've looked at the Acrobat Pro 9 comparison chart and it states "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Does this mean that we just need version 8 or 9 and then people can save the form? What in version 7 is causing us not to be able to save? Did that change the technology in some way? I'm trying to figure out if we get IT to upgrade users to Reader 9 if this will solve the issue or will they have to install Acrobat Standard/Pro 9 to save a PDF form?
    What other selling points could we make to our IT department that using Reader 9 is a lot better than using Reader 7? Any technology benefits, security or functions?
    Thanks

    No version of Reader can save a filled in form unless it has been enabled first.
    To enable, open the file in Acrobat then go to Advanced>Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader...
    And for my standard disclaimer, if you are going to use the forms in a corporate environment, be sure to study and understand the usage limits for enabled forms (the limit is 500 uses, but there are caveats to that) in the EULA. Mostly the enabled forms are meant for very small time users. If you do not meet that requirement, Adobe sells another product that can enable files for unlimited uses but it costs in the tens of thousands of dollars and is a server side solution.
    Hey Graffii,
    I enabled the usage rights and that did help with saving in Reader 7. I am a little concerned about the limit of 500 uses. Let me try and understand you a little better. I have a PDF that has a couple form fields and you're saying that the PDF can only be opened 500 times? I've never heard of restrictions on PDFs before. Does this happen after you place just 1 form field? How do I find out more information? I looked in the EULA, but found nothing.
    Also, what does Adobe mean here "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Are they saying that you need Reader 8 or later to read a form or that you need Acrobat Pro 8 or later to enable the form feature?
    It's all very confusing because one of the features they tout in version 9 is the ability to save forms locally, but once I enable the form I could save it with Reader 7. It's hard to tell if they are referring to Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro 9.
    Thanks

  • The link Adobe sent me for downloading CS5 didn't work- and this is how they suggest I fix it

    I just bought an iMac and wanted to transfer my CS5 to it. The new iMacs do not have disk drives. So, I'm trying to do it over the enternet. I called Adobe, and they sent me a link to download and told me to follow the instructions. I did. Nothing happened. I called again, they sent me the same link, told me to download a different file. I did. Nothing happened... well after 5 hours of downloading, it wouldn't install because it's from an "unidentified developer." Great. I called again. They said they couldn't help because they no longer support CS5. Even better. I was directed to the forum to fix my problem. So, could anyone please help me figure out how to download the product already own? I've been trying to get this to work for 3 day, and all I'm getting is the run around.
    Please help me.

  • Mail and OS: how they works with dns

    Hi to all.
    I need an help to understand.
    I have a domain, "pippo.it"; this domain has an MX set in this way:
    pippo.it MX mail.pippo.it
    mail.pippo.it A 151.99.0.100 ; Wan 1
    mail.pippo.it A 91.45.98.76 ; Wan 2
    With this setting I'm sure that if one line does down, my email server is always available for the other line.
    I made this setting and I watched the server and all seems to be running fine; with Wan 1 down, I always receive emails.
    The problem I have is when I try to download emails from a client.
    IF my mac, during resolving of mail.pippo.it, receives the IP that belongs to the line down, it's not able to try the second one.
    Can anyone explain to me HOW the OS and Apple mail works in this situation?
    Any suggestion is welcome!

    Pls save XServe!

    No problem with Calendar but Mail keeps syncing with the server.  The activity window is full all the time - apparently re-syncing though no new mail is downloaded.  Rang in but they have no idea what's causing it and have sent diagnostic to engineers.  In 10.8, just a quick burst of activity when mail was checked for but now it's constant.  As a result, emptying the Deleted Items mailbox is very slow.  Am worried about the amount of bandwidth being eaten up.

    Do NOT move files then change iTunes prefs to a new location as this will not work.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy your entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (and everything inside it) on your C: drive to the E: drive.
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
