I don't do animations in PS or IR, but if you like, send me
the file
and I'll see if I can figure something out.

How do I get Fireworks CS3 to work in Windows 7? After installation my internet would not function.

I installed
Fireworks CS3 in the new Windows 7. It seemed to function well. After a reboot I noticed my internet would not work. I attempted to resolve the matter but was unsuccessful. Has anybody had this problem? If so what is the fix.

Is Windows 64bit or 32bit?
I've heard that 64bit Win7 will not play well with Fireworks CS3. Try to run Fireworks CS3 in some WinXP Compatibility Mode in Win7 -- I think this mode is available in Win7 Pro and Ultimate...
Hope this helps...
Cheers!

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:

And you'd want to get the recent updater:

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.

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:

Creating webpage in fireworks CS3. Is text searchable by search engines?

Hello all,
I started using fireworks cs3 to design webpages. I've been
using Dreamweaver cs3. I'm new to the whole flash designing. When
you put text and images to design your whole layout, is the text
searchable by search engines?
I noticed that once you save your file as a swf when you open
it you can't highlight any text to copy? I was wondering how I
would go about putting the meta tag info in and make the text so
the search engines would be able to scan the pages to pull up in
search results?
Thank you all!

FW can be used to create prototype HTML pages, but those
should never be
used for real production work. The code is fragile and
sub-optimal (as is
any wizard-based HTML). Your graphics application should be
used to produce
the images used on the page, which is created in Dreamweaver.

Text measurement in Fireworks CS3

Hi all,
I'm designing a phone app, and a styleguide for the design,
which require all the elements to be pixel perfect and add up to
the screen dimension. There are 2 problems I run into is how to
measure text in Fireworks CS3:
1) Fireworks CS3 measure text in point, not pixel. I use an
online converter but it doesn't quite work. (For example, 17point =
22.666 pixel. Should I just round it up to 23?)
2) Web text is measured based on the em square, not the size
of the character itself. Is there a way to find out the em square
size in Fireworks? (I thought the blue bounding box when the text
is selected is the em square, but I tried taking screenshot and
measure it, and it turned out that it's not the case).
So, to sum it up, what procedure should I follow to measure
text in a pixel perfect design in Fireworks CS3? Thanks.

But what about the tutorial you did for Lynda.com where you inserted the google map within an i-frame? I am in a similar situation where I am trying to just insert a scrolling text box within my layout done within FWCS4 using similar layout. Just simple scrolling text box that's it.
I see what you are saying though. DW is the true HTML dev tool but I'm just having too much damn fun in FW and don't want to leave. :]

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

Fonts NOT showing up in Illustrator but are in Fireworks (CS3)

Hi,
I have the CS3 package and it works great. However, I have a load of fonts on my system that are not appearing in the fonts menu in Illustrator CS3. I checked if Fireworks CS3 was picking them up and it is...this is great, but why not in Illustrator??
I also checked Photoshop, and they don't show there either. This is really weird. These are only basic fonts like "Helvetica" etc.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated on how to resolve this.
I am using Vista 64 and the CS3 suite.
Thanks again,
Mikey

Along with Mikey, I have a large number of fonts loaded but, when looking at them in the font list (with 'Preview' turned on), only about half of them actually display a font...the rest are blank. When I apply the 'blank' fonts to text, nothing appears. When I apply a functioning font that does show a preview, it looks fine. Maybe these are related issues?

Blurry Text using Fireworks CS3 version

I'm creating an ad for use in our local phone book yellow
pages using CS3 Fireworks. When I save it in .png or .jpg and print
it out it is very blurry and unacceptable. I made the mistake of
submitting an ad for something else thinking that the pros would be
able to print it out and it would be clear - and it printed
horrible. Why am I unable to print a clear .jpg file?

that this would happen in such a high end software such as
Fireworks CS3 version. How can anyone design anything using fonts
if this happens.
Yep, it's a tiny image. At 1200 dpi a 300-pixel image would
look good at about 1/4 inch. Maybe 1/2 inch, but it'll start to
look kinda blurry. Your printer may not have the same resolution as
the printer the phone book will be printed on, so you need to know
the print shop's recommendations. Then, do some math. If you know
the size in inches you want your advertisement to be, multiply
those dimensions by the dpi to get the dimensions in pixels to make
your Fireworks document. (Ignore the dpi settings in Fireworks.)
You could possibly get by with something half as big, but you
should ask the print shop for recommendations.
Better still is to use Illustrator or another vector drawing
program and submit scalable art in .ai or .eps format. But, again,
check with the print shop for guidelines.

Fireworks CS3 Error on Set-up

Running installation on Win XP and getting to setup when I
receive an error that IE needs to be shut down. I disabled IE
several times, rebooted again and no success. IE is not running and
the software given me an fatal error to contact support. Please I
need to test Fireworks for future Joomla web work.

A Huge thanks to nedsbeds for finding out that his
issue was the DW sites registry. I tried the same thing and
Fireworks launched properly. The down side is that I have 26 sites
defined in DW so I spent another half hour importing the sites back
into DW. After each site was imported I tried to start Fireworks
until I found the site definition that was causing Fireworks to
crash.
Cause: When I upgraded to CS3 Web Suite I exported my
Deamweaver 8 sites and then imported them in Dreamweaver CS3.
Obviously for me Fireworks CS3 didn't like one of my site
definitions. I would never have made a connection between Firworks
and Dreamweaver sites except for NedsBeds previous post.
Problem (read bug): Fireworks will unexpectedly quit if
Dreamweaver has a site definition that it doesn't like. In my case
the site in question used a dot in the site URL (
http://site.local/).
Solution (read work-around): For me I needed to change the
site url in the Dreamweaver site definition so it didn't have a dot
in the URL (
http://local_site/).
Steps to solve without having to re-create all your sites in
Dreamweaver:
1. Export all your sites from the Deamweaver site manager.
2. Start Fireworks and see if launches normally. If it
doesn't this isn't a solution to your specific problem. If it does
continue with the next steps.
3. Import your sites into the site manager one at a time,
starting (then quitting) Fireworks after each import.
4. When you find that the site you just imported causes
Fireworks to crash delete it and continue with the next site.
5. After importing all your sites and verifying that
Fireworks will run re-create the site(s) that cause Fireworks to
crash.
This has been plaging me for months and I have spent
countless hours tring to get Fireworks CS3 to run. Now thanks to
nedsbeds pointing me in the right direction I am finally happy with
my purchase again!
I hope this helps some other people in this topic that have
been frustrated by this bug.

After installing Fireworks CS3, IE shows the download dialog instead of opening PNG images

After installing Fireworks CS3, when clicking a link to a PNG
image, IE displays a download dialog instead of opening the image.
I am not sure why Fireworks becomes the default file handlers of
PNG and GIF without asking or notifying the user during
installation, but I think this is the cause.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
Franklin Tse

Fireworks uses a form of .png as its native file format
(which many people find unfortuante) The Fireworks format includes
some additional information, allowed by the specification, so you
want to make sure that, if you want a .png for the Web, you
export from you Fireworks image, not just
save.
In any case you can re-associate the file types. Exactly how
you re-associate file types depends on your OS.
In Vista, right click on a .gif and select 'Properties.'
Under 'Type of file', click on the 'Change'
button and change the associate application. Make sure the
checkbox next to 'Always use the selected program to open this kind
of file' is checked.

Fireworks CS3 in Windows 7

Hi
My Firworks CS3 installed all great and its mainly fine, but when I go to use any tool such as eraser and blurr etc where the cursor is not the standard mouse it is laggy, I believe this is due to the way fireworks is rendering the mouse cursor.
My photoshop CS2 is ok and other CS3 products are OK its just fireworks CS3. My old Firworks 8 was fine. I believe that it is something to do with the desktop composition as when I turn areo off, its perfect, but I need areo on.
Does anyone have any iedas?

Thank you pixlor, your solution has worked for me.
Exact same experience, Fireworks worked great until I used any of the bitmap tools and then the cursor was slow slow slow.
Running Windows 7 64-bit with Aero Theme
Fireworks CS3
I didn't change the compatibility mode, I just checked Disable desktop composition.
Now when I start Fireworks, I can see the Aero theme is turned off (it takes a second, both monitors go black and then come back on).
A minor inconvenience, and it saves me from having to upgrade to CS4. Sorry, I really can't see why other people are complaining about this. I'm also running Chrome and it restored to the aero theme perfectly fine.
Thanks again!
