Fireworks CS3 and unicode

I am experiencing some annoying problems that might be
feature requests. I do not have a large community around me using
Fireworks and those few who do, does not use it for complex
operations (prototyping of large websites and applications). I
therefore hope someone here might confirm that some of the "bugs"
might be feature requests
1. Common Library items - Label: Does not support unicode and
I experience problems using Norwegian national characters
2. Similar to above: Cut&paste unicode characters, I get
the usual non standardised crap of e.g. "≈rsm¯te"
3. Pages - should be able to select multiple pages to give
them the same settings, Guide (Grid), Optimize settings etc
4. Better support for drawing a straight line, Shift will
only take you so far. I am thinking of e.g. changing the gradient
line, it is a precision job to just change the line from being
horizontal to vertical and vs.
5. On OS X Leopard, using Rooms, for all Adobe applications
you loose your toolbars when switching, similar to pressing Tab
Anyone with similar challenges?
Btw: Does anyone know where I submit feature wishes to Adobe,
other than here?

I bet there are others with these problems, so I'll quote my
action plan as a reference.

I've submitted a bug report on this, as it is clearly a bug
and not a feature wish.

2. Similar to above: Cut&paste unicode characters, I get

This is an strange problem and I found out that cut&paste
from a lot of applications work with unicode, it is Safari that is
the perpetrator. Even though it is such a narrow issue, I have
reported it to Apple.

3. Pages - should be able to select multiple pages to give

I've sent this as a feature wish to Adobe.

I have solved this issue by using Grant Hinkson's excellent
Gradient panel. Se his
article.
Although this should be default Fireworks, he has done such a good
job and deserves all the credit.

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.

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.

InDesign CS3 and Unicode

From BabelMap (character map application for Windows), I have pasted in InDesign CS3 the 818 characters of OT Adobe Garamond Pro. Something is strange : for exemple the digit nine have the Unicode number U+E097 in the Info Panel but U+0039, in the Glyphs panel. I don't understand why this difference. Someone can explain me ? Thanks

Adobe Garamond Pro has several nines: lining nine, oldstyle figures
nine, superscript nine, subscript nine. If you pasted every glyph, you
should have gotten at least four nines, probably more. Although U+E097
and U+0039 may look the same, U+E097 is an oldstyle figures nine. U+0039
is a regular lining nine.
I think.

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.

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

Creating a web page in Fireworks CS3

When I create a web page in Fireworks CS3 and export it the
page apears on the left side of the screan. I want it to be in the
center of the screan. How do I make it centered? I know that if I
open it in MS Front Page I can select page properties and center
the page in that program but how do I do it in Fireworks?

Look at NVu which is free and does a very decent job. I tried
it when it
was only in beta and it was promising although it couldn't
get me to
switch from Dreamweaver. I haven't used the final version but
I'm
certain it will give you better results than using Fireworks'
rigid and
easily breakable exported HTML and certainly a lot better
than FrontPage.

This is because, despite its flaws (and they are severe),
Fireworks'
exported code is less proprietary and more cross browser
compatible than
FrontPage's. I believed that later versions of FrontPage
created better
code but your story proves once again that no visual Web
"design"
application that falsely promise WYSIWYG is a substitute for
learning
the basics of Web design and development and getting your
hands dirty in
HTML and CSS code to understand how things work. Web design
is certainly
not only about the visuals and any designer who thinks he can
get away
with only creating Web sites visually without the need for a
working
knowledge of the underlying code is seriously delusional (not
saying
this is your case).
I do not mean you need to create your sites' code in NotePad
(which is
completely inefficient IMO). But you do need to understand
how things
work under the hood to make the right decisions in your
editor and be
able to fix problems. WYSIWYG is a pipe dream. Don't buy into
it.
Until you can afford something like Dreamweaver, NVu could
serve your
needs as it offers a source code view and apparently creates
decent code
out of the box. Learning to code HTML and CSS in a more text
based
application may be better for you in the long run if you are
serious
about learning this craft properly though. I'm sorry that I
cannot point
you to specific learning resources as it's been years since I
was a
beginner in this field and learned from too many sources. If
there is
one book I could recommend that I wish had been around when I
started
out in early 1996, it would be Zeldman's "Designing with Web
Standards".
This could be one of the smartest investment you make right
now:

Adobe Illustrator CS3 and FrameMaker 8 - Are interactive rollovers possible?

Hello,
I recently read an article (see URL below) that talked about using InDesign to create rollover effects on graphics, that would carry forward
as the graphic was brought into FrameMaker and then saved out as a PDF.
http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/make_a_pdf_portfolio_with_interactive_rollovers.html
Can Illustrator CS3 allow me to take a drawing, screen capture or photograph (graphic with callouts drawn on top of the photo)and add interactive rollover effects? Or, is Illustrator CS3 limited in what it can provide for interactivity, compared with InDesign CS3, Fireworks CS3 and Flash CS3 and Photoshop CS3. I would prefer to work in Illustrator CS3.
Also, I would prefer to either place the .ai file format right into FrameMaker (linked to file) as that seems to work very well. Note, I am trying to stay away from SVGs at this time.
Can I create an interactive drawing or graphic and save it (e.g. ai, png format) so that the end result is an interactive PDF, as shown in the samples on the website above?
Thanks for your responses. It is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Yes.
Select the object. Choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Tick the Reflect box. Set the 9 point origin indicator to the reflect origin you want. Set the "copies" box to 1. Click OK.
You should then be able to alter the original object and see changes in the reflection.

Fireworks CS3 hangs on opening

Since a couple of days ago when I start Fireworks CS3 it gets
hanged for
some minutes. On the application title appears "Not
responding". If I wait
for some minutes it wakes up and then works normally.
I things this is related to the update intalled by Adobe
Updater.
Has somebody had similar issues with FW CS3?
Regards,
Angel.

I know that corrupt fonts can cause problems, too. Have you
checked
that? HOW you check, I am not sure, though.

Fireworks CS3 & Illustrator CS3

I'm not sure if this is more an Illustrator problem or a
Fireworks issue, but since I can post here but can't log into the
Illustrator forum, I'll start here.
I have illustrations created in Illustrator. Black and white
images, and I want the white to be transparent, or rather see-thru
since I don't mean transparency as in opacity. What I want is for
the background to show through the "white" portions of the black
and white illustrations. So, if you have a black circle with a
white triangle in the middle, and put it on a green background, the
black circle will be black and the "white" triangle will be green.
Hopefully, that clarifies what I am trying to do.
So, in Illustrator CS3, I take that illustration and use
"exclude" and "expand" to apply it to the illustration. Seems to
work fine there. If I create a solid-colored square and move it
behind the illustration, the "white" areas show the square's color
instead of white.
Now, when I open that illustration in Fireworks CS3, I get a
black solid image. No paths where the "white" areas should be. Just
a solid black area.
Now, if I take that original illustration, open it in
Illustrator 5.5(!), use "exclude," save and then open that modified
file in Fireworks 1.0(!), it works just fine. I can also open that
Illustrator 5.5 file in Fireworks CS3 and it works fine.
Mind you, the illustrations are more complex than a white
triangle in a black circle. But, if Illustrator 5.5 and Fireworks
1.0 can handle them, the CS3 versions ought to be able to handle
them as well.
Since I would expect that the CS3 versions should be able to
do the same things that the much older versions can do, I can only
assume (and hope!) that I must be doing something wrong. I would
hate to have to save all my Illustrator CS3 files down to
Illustrator 3 files (since CS3 can't save to Illustrator 5), open
them in Illustrator 5.5 and "exclude," then resave them and then
finally open them in Fireworks CS3, especially since that involves
using two Macs, since the Intel Macs don't run Classic. Seems like
I should be able to go direct from Illustrator CS3 to Fireworks
CS3.
So, what am I doing wrong?

Found it! Compound Path instead of Exclude.

Round tripping with Fireworks CS3

I am using Dreamweaver/Fireworks CS3 and editing images
between Dreamweaver and Fireworks by round-tripping via the
Property Inspector is a very cool feature. However, I can't seem to
use this same feature with background images linked to the page in
a CSS style sheet, because there is not way to "select" the image
in Design View.
Is there a way to "select" a background image linked to the
page in a CSS style sheet, so it will show up in the property
inspector where I can edit the source file? There has to be a way!
Can anyone help me out?

not directly from the design view window-
But find out the image's name and folder location from
whatever code it's
called in, and then go to the Files Panel and right-click on
the file to
edit or optimize it in fireworks. If it's a background, it's
a single image.
If it's part of an inserted .png table or similar, select an
adjacent real
image that's part of the same .png and pick the round trip
option.

Lost Fireworks cs3 due to computer crash

I have the serial number for Fireworks cs3. I lost my software when my computer crashed. Is there a way to download this software to a new computer without having to pay for it again?
Thanks, Mike

OK I did some reading and found out maybe the .exe extention got dropped off when downloading. I clicked on properties for the file and found out it still had the .exe. I noticed that the a block and unblock key. I unblocked the fill and it downloaded the fireworks cs3 and everything worked ok. At the end it said to restart my pc. When it restarted the screen was black but I could see the mouse pointer. The screen is ok because when I shut the pc down manually my wall paper and desk top icons appeared for a second before shuting down.
Do you think I got a virus from that download?

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.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
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!
