Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 (Menu problems)

I am trying to develop buttons in fireworks, import them into Dreamweaver, but for some reason it it cause my menu at the top of the page to expand outward. Take a look here. http://www.gcfa.org/episcopal-revision.html Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I figured it out. It was really stupid and to tell you the truth I am not sure what happened. But I fixed it by taken out all of the menu and redoing it.Weird huh! Thanks anyway.

Using Windows XP and working with Fireworks CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6.

I'm a student and only have Windows XP. I'm working with Fireworks CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6. Can I just get the two of them or do I need to subscribe to the Creative Cloud? Also, can I get Dreamweaver CS6 on the Cloud? I know I can't use Dreamweaver CC with XP.

Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
Afec1707 I am sorry but you must have Windows 7 or later for your operating system. You can find the system requirements to utilize Creative Cloud applications at System requirements | Creative Cloud.

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.
Thanks

Fireworks cs6 and dreamweaver cc

After long time I'm gonna go back to fireworks. Please, let me know what significant tools should not be used if I am going to use also Dreamweaver CC 2014-regular html pages. I see that the Spry menus are not available anymore in dreamweaver for example. Now there are other tools for UI, right? The link buttons in Fireworks as well as the spry menu bars, when exported to html in DW (a couple of years ago) generated me a lot of confusing html files, codings and... I think it was a problem, right? Orientations, please.

In my opinion you should avoid using ANY tool in Fireworks that generates html and/or css. Use Fireworks to prepare you images and designs, and use it for prototyping.
Firework's code never was great to begin with (very old-fashioned), and since Adobe quit development two years ago it's only become worse. Therefore, do not use any of the generated code from Fireworks for real production.
Fireworks still generates buttons with text as images - which is just a bad idea. This should be solved with html and css, with perhaps background images for specific visual properties. The text should remain text.
For button, menus, and other interactive features learn CSS and jQuery, jQuery mobile, and simple javascript. Or re-use pre-built jQuery scripts which you can find online - many are freely available.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but that is the current situation.

Fireworks 9 and Dreamweaver 8

I am using Dreamweaver 8 or CS2 and thought it might be
helpful for me to use Fireworks along with it. Can the new
Fireworks 9 work with Dreamweaver 8 (cs2)
Should I look for Fireworks 8?
curious

I'm still investigating things, too. I already have DW8 and
FW8, and I'm finding that FW8 has some limitations with some larger
.psd files. FW8 has this "not enough memory" issue that has me
kinda wizzed. I'm thinking of spending the agonizing dough to get
PhotoShop (which seems to also have an excellent image optimizing
system for web images), but then again I'm not sure how well it
coordinates with DW8 (if that's critical for you)
I like FW, but for me the question of whether to go with FW
or Photoshop is still open

PHP and Dreamweaver Spry Menu

I have been searching for help with this - I have been getting an "internal error" message when I submit the form. I was having an issue with it working but not receiving anything... so I changed the php code and now it's taking me to an error page. Need this fixed soon.... I just went to a networking meeting... please help.
I've been reading other people's posts and I just don't know enough about php to know what to change. I know how to write HTML/XHTML and CSS but with the form, obviously that's going to be harder.
I've pasted both pages below - if anyone can take a look and let me know. Thank you!

Javascript missing when insert Fireworks html to Dreamweaver

I tried to insert fireworks html in a Dreamweaver file. After importing the fireworks html in the Dreamweaver document, the associated Javascript code was missing.
Of course, the Fireworks html file includes the Javascript code and works properly. It is just that when I insert the Fireworks html into the Dreamweaver file, the associated Javascript code gets lost although the manual clearly says that fireworks html is inserted "along with its associated images, slices, and JavaScript".
I use Fireworks CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5, but I also tried it using FW CS4 and DW CS4 which did not solve the problem.
I tried two ways to insert the html code (both with the same negative result):
1.) using the DW menu: Insert > Image Objects > Fireworks HTML
2.) Copying the HTML to the clipboard in Fireworks, and then pasting it into the Dreamweaver document
Of course, I could insert the Javascript code manually, but then I would have to detach the associated template from the DW doc, and I would rather not do that because then later updates to the site will become more complicated.
BTW, I also tried to insert the fireworks html in another Dreamweaver document not using any template, but the JavaScript code got lost though.
I would be very grateful if somebody had an idea how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Thank you for your answer.
"Is the javascript inline with the HTML or does it point to an external resource (like and external JavaScript file)? "
inline.
"Does using code view differ from design view as you insert the Fireworks material?"
No
"are you trying to paste this Fireworks code into a non-editable region of a Dreamweaver template?"
No

Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver 8

I own Dreamweaver 8 but not Fireworks 8, and I don't
particularly want to upgrade Dreamweaver to build decent websites
using Fireworks CS3. So has anyone imported Fireworks PNGs,
particularly of the sliced variety, into Dreamweaver 8? Any
problems?

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.

Problems with Fireworks CS3 in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro from Windows XP Pro. My Fireworks CS3 is having a problem. I cannot select items in the left side menu bar if I minimize or move the Fireworks CS3 window. If I have just opened the window it works, but minimize the window or move it and the toolbar stops working.
This problem is not unique to my machine. 2 other people are having the exact same problem. Here is the link to the Windows 7 forum:
http://www.sevenforums.com/software/26957-adobe-fireworks-cs3-issue.html
We sure could use some help. This is one of my bread and butter programs.

I'm happy to hear you have other work-around alternatives!
Businesses with mission-critical software usually are very careful to research that their software will run on any proposed new system or that alternative software is available. This is the main reason that Microsoft had to continue supporting XP longer than they intended. Too much business-critical software ran on XP but did not run under Vista and would take some time before it would be upgraded to do so...if at all.
If you have "bread and butter" apps, then it was your responsibility to make sure that you could run them once you upgraded. Adobe's software worked more or less as advertised for the operating systems that were available at the time the versions were released. That's reasonable. Expecting indefinite support into the future is not.
Fireworks isn't a $2000 product. Adobe continues product development, yes. They've moved on to CS4 and its patches. You can upgrade to FW CS4 for about $150. The system requirements for FW CS4 do not include Windows 7; note that Fireworks is only certified for 32-bit operating systems:
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/fireworks4/systemreqs.html
However, there's a statement about CS4 applications (in general) working with Windows 7:
http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/faq/?anonymous_element_1=4
And you'd want to get the recent updater:
http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/downloads_updaters.html

... It is probably not a huge problem to fix for an Adobe engineer.
If the feature worked under Vista but does not work under Windows 7, then that means that the problem probably lies somewhere in how the program communicates with the OS. The problem is not isolated to the tens - possibly hundreds - of thousands of lines of Fireworks code, but in how that code interacts with the Windows 7 APIs. To solve this problem is not the work of "an Adobe engineer." It's the work of a project team. It's the work of a project team which would have to be pulled off development of Fireworks CS5 for a few months to resurrect the old CS3 code, get familiar with it, and try to track down and solve the problem, then package up, test, and release a patch . By pulling resources off CS5 development, CS5 would be delayed or quality inversely impacted. Since CS3 is not a current product for sale, I can't see Adobe making this investment. There's no return on it, where there would be a return on getting a quality FW CS5 out the door on time.

Import fireworks cs3 slideshow into Dreamweaver 8

Hello, Im trying to get a slideshow created in Fireworks cs3 to work in Dreamweaver 8. I cant seem to get the html file it generates to slot into a Dreamweaver page. When I double click on the slideshow html file in Dreamweaver it opens a page that looks as though nothing is on it, just a lot of shading and a missing image, but tappin F12 to view in browser shows the slideshow works, but how do I get it into a page in Dreamweaver? Thanks in advance

Hello again Pziecina, just wanted to say a very quick thank you. I think I can get the slideshow to work if I remake parts of my site, but I have 5 assignments on the go and thats not really feasible right now, but what really interested me was the links you posted yesterday regarding CSS. As mentioned I have 5 live assignments and have been spending my mornings/afternoons/evenings whittling them down, and when I posted here yesterday I was a little worn out, and my focus was not what it could, or should be. But late last night I took an hours break and had a proper look at the CSS tutorials you posted, and would like to say a very big THANKYOU, although its a bit off topic, I was a little apprehensive of CSS, but one hour into the first tutorial and Im hooked, thats not to say Im anywhere near proficient, but really enjoyed myself following the tutorial, (even though it was at the expense of assignment time ), so, very glad I came here with my slideshow problem, and thanks again

Fireworks CS3 - Internal error when save as JPEG and batch mode

Dears,
I am being in trouble for all along these 7 days due to this
error. I hope that someone may help me.
After upgrading to CS3 from Fireworks 8, I am having this
"internal error message" both when the preview for a JPEG export
format is chosen (it works OK when the export format is either GIF
or PNG) and when I work with batch operation.
Everything is OK if I run Fireworks either as "root" user or
as "adminplus" user ("adminplus" is the username of an extra user
with administration privileges I created for testing).
My operating system is MacOsX 10.5.4 and my computer is a
MacBook2,1 (MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz with 2GB RAM and a
brand new 186,31 GB Hitachi Journaled HFS+ HD with 100GB free).
I tried in many way to get the valuable differences in the
Library files and privileges (looking to many forums, it seems this
may be the cause, also confirmed by the fact that other users works
fine) but I didn't get any special differences.
I tried to trash the preferences but still the error is
present.
I tried with the master temporary file in MacOsX with
terminal command "stat -x $TMPDIR" checked against command "id".
User and privileges were OK but still the "internal error" was
there.
I tried with a simple reinstall for Fireworks CS3 and with a
full reinstall of the full CS3 web standard suite and, moreover,
uninstalling and reinstalling everything.
I also tried with Fireworks 8 which was not removed by the
upgrade and it has the same problems.
May I receive a competent suggestion about how to diagnosis
and solve the problem?
Many thanks,
Carmine

OK. I solved it!
Whoever will have the same problem may ask how I solved. It
is not complicated but it is a long story. I succeed without any
reinstall of operating system as suggested by the ADOBE support, in
case any of the suggestions found everywhere, will give no result.
I will be happy to explain what to do to whoever will need
it.
My very best wishes,
Carmine

Fireworks CS3 and Win 7

I just upgraded to Win7 and everything in Fireworks CS3 seems to be working except the brush tool. When trying to paint the cursor is irratic, moves slowing across the picture and I can't control the speed of the brush tool. Is anybody else having this problem and if so do you have a work around?

This was a problem in Vista and the workaround there is to turn off the Aero theme for Fireworks. (CS3 Bitmap tools and Aero are not happy together.)
Not sure if Win7 has the same settings, but it should. Try this: go to the Fireworks folder, right-click on Fireworks.exe, and select Properties. If there's a Compatibility tab, first try setting it to "Disable desktop composition." (Mine's also set to run in XP compatibility mode, but maybe I did that first, it wasn't the ticket, and I added the "Disable desktop composition" checkbox.)
When you start or close Fireworks, your screen might flicker to black as Aero is turned off and on, but otherwise, everything should work okay.

Windows 7 and Fireworks CS3

Was anyone here able to run Fireworks CS3 flawlessly on
Windows 7? It has very strange behavior. I was able to get it run
for the first time after I have waited for more than hour to start
it. Then I activated it and was able to work with it without
problems. After restart it takes again forever to start. It looks
to me like there is no problem with fireworks but with some code
which is checking if the copy is legal and this is causing the
delay. I used FW very occasionally just to create some web
graphics, i bought FW8 and then i bought upgrade just to be able to
run it on windows vista. i really dont want to buy upgrade again to
use it on windows 7 just once a month. Any help appreciated.
update
Now it stopped working and I have got this message
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
help.

On Windows 7? That's a beta product. If you want to use
Windows 7 you can expect problems as the purpose of the beta test
is to
find problems. CS3 works well on Vista. If you need to work
productively, use a released product, not a beta.
That said, I had the same error on Vista a couple of weeks
ago. Something hung in Fireworks and not only would Fireworks not
start, none of my other CS3 apps (on Vista) would start. I got the
same error message in each. It is something in the licensing
product that Adobe uses. I searched Google for the text of the
error message and found a KB article that eventually got things
working.

I had to run the utility all three times, and then keep on
going through the other steps of moving off file folders before my
apps started working again. It was frustrating for the to stop
working, like that, and I kept being disappointed at having to move
on to the next "if that didn't work, do this." But at least they're
working again!
