Fireworks CS4 slideshow

Is there an easy way to get a Fireworks CS4 generated slideshow into an existing web site (my home page). I've got a div all ready for the slideshow I built.
Did a search and couldn't come up with any answers. Lots of other folks asking the same thing ...... but zip on responses.
Huh?

HI, I have the same "issue" about embedding the slideshow into existing webpage. I've tried it with Lightroom and some other stand alone versions on the internet but have failed to find actual solution. I use DW4 to build my site (I'm a photographer not a web master) and after total frustration trying to get the lightroom gallery embedded gave up for a few months and now have downloaded a trial verision of FW4 just for the slideshow as I heard it was real easy..it's easy to create a slideshow in it and upload that to another page on it's own but clearly it doesn't make it any simpler to embed it as the Lightroom galleries version. It is amazing to me that Adobe hasn't addressed this. Why do they not make this a simple click and insert solution? Surely, or perhpas not, but it seems to me that people use DW, FW, Photoshop etc, etc...to create websites, photo galleries, just for this purpose but it is like it just is left out on purpose. I'm willing to even pay someone to just give me the html language for this. I went to my local Community college and yes I can become a certified DW professional...but frankly I don't want or need to know every detail of how to use DW or FW and don't plan on becoming a website builder..just want to embed a gallery into my web page...
So, has anyone out there have any suggestions? Tutorials? Books? Web Guru's? Adobe? How about posting a real simple and clear tutorial..someone at Adobe must know how to do this don't you? I just don't get it. I've purchased a few thousand dollars worth of Adobe stuff and I do love photoshop and DW but it seems to me that this embedding deal, which I see many people on the web that have the same issue, would be a simple few clicks and make us all happy..
thanks for listening...

Fireworks CS4 Slide Show in IE ??

I created a slide show using Fireworks CS4 and the non-Flash
option. Works just fine in IE7, Firefox and Safari out of
Dreamweaver.
After uploading to the web, it works just fine in Firefox,
Opera and Safari, but the slide show doesn't function in IE7.
I uploaded the bare html exported by Fireworks, but that
didn't work in IE7 either (OK in Firefox, Opera and Safari).
Bare page is at
http://www.farnhamdfas.org.uk/SlideShows/YoungArtsOct08/index.html
Is this a Spry/Fireworks CS4 bug, or am I missing something?
CS4 Master Collection Win XP SP3

I have now tried uploading a test page to an alternate host,
from where IE plays the Fireworks slide show just fine.
So there is something about the ISP/host server (I guess)
that is interfering with the operation of the Spry modules used by
the slideshow. Spry drop-down menus work just fine throughout.
Can anyone give a hint about what is going on here?

Adobe Fireworks CS4 freez on create album

Hi,
I'm trying to use Adobe Fireworks CS4 with all the latest update on a Macbook Pro computer with OSX 10.5.8.
Everything works fine, except for the following.
I use commands - create slideshow.
Then I create an album and add pictures.
When I issue the command create, everything works fine.
But ....
From the moment that I choose to rotate a picture, the create process freezes when it reaches that specific picture and I can only cancel this.
Is there anyone who can tell me a solution or workaround?
Next to that, I also have an issue with multiple albums. When I use multiple albums and use the album properties to add a description and a thumbnail to a specific album, I always see that this is removed as soon as I click another album.
It would be very helpfull if anyone knows a solution to both these problems.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Vincent

> Now the things that I am unsure how to do are based on the above description are:
1) How can I make the name of the site section only, to the left of the banner as a link to a url when the user hovers over the name part only, the mouse hand turns into a pointer and gets redirected to url <
That needs to be a seperate slice. As a general rule, each link needs to be on a seperate slice.
> 2) The same goes for the two buttons that I have created as two individual symbols? <
The same. Since each button symbol is a seperate slice you can add different URLs to them.
> 3) How can I slice the above two queries, so that I can export into Dreamweaver, so that all the required code comes across with all the desired effects, that is, when previewing in Firefox, all hovering on site name and two buttons work as requried? <
What I would do, instead of exporting code from Fireworks, is export images only, and add the code in Dreamweaver. If you must do iy from Fireworks, remember to put each element in a seperate slice. It would be easier to advise you if you could upload a copy of your file.
> I am just undure how to slice it? Unsure if I have to assign hotspots to the sections? <
No need for hotspots unless you are creating an image map. Any coding, behaviors, etc will be exported with the HTML attached to the slices.

Fireworks cs4 - animated gif

ok.
Haven't had to do this since cs3.
I have my images collected for each frame of the animation in Fireworks CS4 on separate layers.
I am under the impressions that "States" has replace "Frames".
I create a new state and make layer one visible.
I duplicate the state and make layer two visible.
When I go back to state one layer two is visible instead of just layer one.
It looks like layer visibility is changing across all states.
What's the trick?
Thanks.

Hi Linda,
I'm wondering if you can explain in a bit more detail how to actually place graphics on states as opposed to layers.
If I select the contents of a layer and copy them, then go to the states panel, select the specific state i want the content on, and paste... it doesn't seem to do anything but create a new layer in my layers panel. If I turn off layers from one state to the next, it turns them off for all states.
I made many layers in Photoshop, expecting to be able to open the file in Fireworks, make states, and just turn on and off layers to create my animation. This worked with earlier versions of Fireworks (back when GIF banners were the standard format for online ads... I know, I'm a dinosaur).
I've been trying to get this to work for hours, and finding this very unintuitive and frustrating.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

Hello,
I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
I operate Mac 10.6.7
Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Linda, I thought I would post here since other users may have had a similar experience. My next step will be to reinstall the software since I'd rather not pay for their technical support if it's a simple fix - thus the posting here.

How can I turn off the "open in tabs" in Fireworks CS4?

I found out how to do it in Phoroshop CS4 ( preferences> interface, uncheck "open documents in tabs) but I can't find an option to turn off the "open in tabs" for Fireworks. I realize that I can open documents in tabs and then drag them apart, but it would be much preferable to have each document open in it's own window as they have in previous versions of Fireworks. I frequently need to compare documents side by side and tabbing back and forth is doesn't work for me.
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you on Windows or MacOS X?
For Windows version, not sure this can be done.
On Windows XP, see this example path:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\English\Fireworks CS4 Preferences.txt
Close Fireworks CS4, then open this file Fireworks CS4 Preferences.txt with Notepad and find key:
<key>OpenNewDocumentAsTabs</key>
<bool>true</bool>
Change the "true" to "false", save the file. Open Fireworks CS4, and see if there's any difference...
On Windows XP, I do not see any difference. But I see that once I have floated one of the files open, all the next files I open, become floated too (not opened as tabs!). So this may help you maybe?
If you are on Mac OS X, search for a similar preferences file for Fireworks CS4 and see if it helps you edit "OpenNewDocumentAsTabs" key from "true" to "false".
Not sure if this helps you much but at least I tried...
If nothing helps, this is my suggestion:
1) Open Fireworks.
2) Open a file, "float" it away from the tabs area and it will be un-docked and then, all other files you open later, will be not opened as tabs...

Error 2 when installing Fireworks CS4 Trial?

Hey, I keep getting the Error: Error 2 when ever I try to install Fireworks CS4 Trial, downloaded from Adobe.
Installing: Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Exstention Manager CS4
After its pretty much done, it say's finished but with Error's, hit view info, and I keep getting Error 2.
Tried dowloading the trial from other sites, and that still doesnt work.
All my Adobe products of CS3 have been uninstalled.
Problem help?

Fixed it! Yay
I've got to say - I owe it all to a guy called Justducky on macosx.com. Still, here's the story. After search around I found his post about a similar problem with Dreamweaver. He dug, and delved and worked on permissions etc but nothing worked.
Finally he got down to the solution:
Uninstall everything Adobe. I mean everything. AIR, flashplayers if you can. Everything. Delete .plist and .pref files that have adobe in the name (carefully).
Create a new account that has admin privileges (not convinced this was necessary but don't know Macs enough to confirm)
Safe Boot and log into the new account
Install Fireworks.
And there you go, it works. Simple eh? As an extra precaution when installing Fireworks I only did the bear minimum. I didn't install Air, Media Player, Bridge etc. I have done now and they work.
You can read the full account of JustDucky's journey here
Hope this works for you too!

Fireworks CS4 will not open multiple images in tabs

Run into a problem with CS4. I frequently open 10+ images at the same time using Fireworks CS4. My problems is, whenever I highlight and click the 10+ images from desktop, they all open in Fireworks, but only 2 are tabbed. The rest of the images are in a floating window. How do I fix this? This is really frustrating.
Here's a screenshot of my problem: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5766/327201180331pm.jpg

Things have now become significantly worse!
Now when I try to open anything from Bridge, or try to open PhotoShop at all, I receive a popup that gives me 2 options: 1) License PS CC, or 2) continue with my trial of PS CC.
So far as I know, I have not downloaded any trial of anything from Adobe in many months. In fact, I have no interest in PS CC. I wish simply to use PS CS6.
I have uninstalled my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, of which my PS CS is a part, and reinstalled it but I still am blocked from using my properly licensed programs.
Please advise.

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.

Drag and drop in Fireworks CS4?

Fireworks cs4 batch change color in jpegs?

Is it possible to use fireworks cs4 batch command to change the same background color on multiple jpegs?
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Hey... solved it! Changed the background color in almost 2,000 jpegs. Heres how:
Photoshop CS4, first define a color in an AXT file:
Open test image, image, adjustments, replace color. use eye dropper to sample the background color, bring hue, saturation, and lightness bars all the way to the right (background color now turnd white), click save (save the definition AXT file, you will need to reference it later).
Now create a new action called "replace color", have test image open (with original background that you want to change), start record and do this to record the action:
Image, adjustments, replace color. Click load and select the AXT file, click load (the background color now turns white with the loaded AXT definition). Click ok. save file. Stop record action.
Now run a batch command and use that action you just recorded: File, automate, batch, select your new action in the play section, select the folder of files to process and the destination... click ok to run the batch.
I changed the "background" color in 2,000 estore product images of various sizes (thumbnail, medium, and large sizes) in about 15 minutes. Wow! I knew there had to be a way.
Hope it helps lots of people, 'cause it sure is a common need.
Cheers,
Carl

Font Agent Pro 4.0.3 font library doesn't show up in Fireworks CS4

My extensive Font Age Pro 4.0.3 library of fonts does not show up in Fireworks CS4. Does anyone know why? The only fonts
Fireworks sees are those controlled by Font Manager. I do not recall this problem with Tiger and Fireworks CS3.
Photoshop CS4 has no problem (yes there is an Auto-Activation Plug-in for Font Agent Pro 4), however did not have a problem not having it when was
running CS3 Fireworks.
Fireworks Version: 10.0.3.11
Mac OS X: 10.5.8 (Leopard)
Font Agent Pro: 4.0.3
Thanks
