Fireworks CS6 Drag and Drop?

I recently got the Fireworks CS6 trial to just well...try it out. I was unable to drag and drop images on to the program, instead when I try to the cursor changes to an icon with a circle and a line going diagonally across it..Any solutions?

Are you dragging and dropping an image onto the canvas of an open document? Or are you dragging an image onto the application icon (e.g. in the dock) in order to open the file in Fireworks? I'm able to do both on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
However, there's other ways to accomplish both of those tasks—for example, using File > Import or File > Open.

ID CS6 drag and drop anchored object - unable to get blue square

Hi,
I am a long time and intensive user of CS.
A week ago or so, the blue square for dragging an anchored object disappeared.
I have to do it manually. Troublesome since I am in the process of producing a number of ebooks.
Any ideas? Thanks (I tried restarting the preferences, to no avail)
(I publish in the pdf section, I cannot see any epub section )

Hi has anyone an idea on this blue square question please? an adobe expert maybe? thanks a lot

CC or CS6 - Drag and drop files into local view files window?

Having come from the excellent Golive, I've always had to compromise with issues like this in DW CS5. Did they add this functionality to the latest versions?
TIA

After a little forum/google-fu, it appears Nancy is right, and what you're seeing is the "correct" behavior for the Mac.
You may want to let Adobe know you'd like this feature on the Mac version here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I'm sure others have, but adding your voice to the chorus can't hurt. Before you ask, Adobe does actually read those feature request/bug reports pretty regularly, you should at least see a response when they get it, a date for implementation, or whether it will make it onto an upcoming release, not so much.

Drag and drop not working in CS6?

Hey guys, we recently updated to Fireworks CS6 (from CS5) @ work and while I do love the speed upgrade, there is one thing different that I cannot get past, I cannot drag and drop a document onto the Fireworks menu bar, I need to Open > File every time, its time consuming and frustrating... why would you drop this feature in CS6? :| Am I missing something?

Ah, so it does work in Fireworks CS6—just not on your setup at work. Again, is this a Mac or Windows OS?
After re-reading your initial post, I realized I'm not clear on what you mean by dragging and dropping a document "onto the Fireworks menu bar". I was initally picturing dragging a document onto the Fireworks application icon in the Mac OS dock (or the Windows equivalent to this, if there is one).
Are you actually talking about the command menu that appears across the top of the application interface? If so, I can't open a document using this method in either CS5 or CS6.

Drag and drop in Fireworks CS4?

Drag and drop CS6

FOr some reason I can't drag and drop files into carious CS6 applications from Windows Explorer. Not even from Bridge.
I get the circle with line through it dragging to open Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects.
The only way to get items in is to file>open...
Is drag and drop off, bugged, other?

Another quirky deal is that some of the icos for the various CS6 Suite programs went to a default Windows icon.
I had to restore the icons manually on about four programs. Goofy newness has to wear off oe something...
I have had the same problem occasionally and this is easily solved by rebuilding the Windows icon cache.
See http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista/

Firefox Drag and Drop Image to AI CS6 - displaces art on art board...

When dragging and dropping an image from FF 20/21 into AI CS6, it forces elements on the art board to be displaced.
The image dragged into the app will plop into the middle of the art board, and anything in the file just gets moved.
Where it gets moved to is inconsistent- but it appears to always move on a diagonal.
Probably one of the weirdest things I've ever seen AI do, in 10+ years...

It turns out that this doesn't only happen in Firefox, but the results appear (at this point) to be completely random.
It happens in some instances in Chrome, but less frequently.
Also, I have some examples where it is not happening at all in Firefox.
Can't find a common thread for the problem- it's not a browser version or AI version thing, it's not a file version thing, it's not even, seemingly, the results of the objects being dragged out of the browser.

I am getting a "Internal error occurred" message when I try to drag and drop common library items on to my canvas.

Hi,
I am getting a "Internal error occurred" message when I try to drag and drop common library items on to my canvas.
I have noticed that there are a number of these error messages and tried one solution of renaming a couple of files, I tried this and no joy.
Has any one go a solution for this before I purchase Fireworks please?
Kind regards,
Dave G

I can no longer get Firework CS6 to run - The program loads but without any toolbars/properties etc. It just has an 'AN INTERNAL ERROR OCCURRED' message that cannot be dismissed. The only way to close the program is via Task Manager (this is on a Window 8 PC). I have uninstalled the program, rebooted the PC and re-installed (several times) but it has not resolved the problem.
Fireworks is part of my Creative Cloud subscription and when reporting this via the live chat I was given the telephone number for Seagate Drives ??
Anybody got a solution?
Or, does anybody know how to open native Fireworks CS6 png files in Photoshop *but* with all the Fireworks layers preserved.
Think I'll also post this as a new topic as the problem is slightly different to SirBasher's issue.

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:

Drag and Drop in a Creative Suite Extension

Hi,
One of the reports we've had about using the Creative Suite SDK is that native drag and drop doesn't work when dragging from an extension to the host application (for example, dragging an image from an extension to be placed in InDesign).
This is something we're very keen to make as easy as possible, to which end I've posted a write-up on the CS SDK blog of how you can achieve this. It works by using the Flash (rather than Flex) manager for dragging, and you can find more detail and a sample extension here.
Happy coding!
James

James, thanks for the great article!
After implementing all your techniques I have a couple of questions, and it will be cool, if you can find a time to answer just some of them!
1) Is there a way to force a drop? I mean, without mouse, just like copy and paste an object into current host, without dragging it?
2) Is there a universal way for all hosts to catch a moment just before the drop happened? (Harbs suggested to use a before_place event, but as I can see it only works for InDesign).
3) When I dragged an image of BITMAP_FORMAT type, I even was able to drop it to Fireworks - but not into Flash Pro document. Flash just crashes! Is this is a known issue and maybe some workaround exists?
Thank you!

I can't seem to drag and drop more than one video on my timeline ? Only the audio will appear ?

Hello, I've been working on Premiere for a year now
I installed 2014 a week ago, and until today I haven't had any problems.
When I drag and drop the first video, everything works fine, until I try to drop another video.
The second video won't appear on the timeline, except for it's audio
Which is weird to me because everything worked well on the CS6
My sequence settings are
Custom
30 frames/second
16/9
sample rate : 44100Hz
quickTime
+H.264
The first video's properties:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 576,0 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 30,00
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Mono
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:04:41:28
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
The second video's properties:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 583,1 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29,97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:04:45:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
(it's a .MTS)
What is weird, too, is that when I added the first video, I couldn't add it "Again", the same thing happened
Any help? I need to finish the project by tonight :/

My QuickTime version is the 10.4 (no idea if it's the latest one)
What do you mean by my system properties ? My mac ? If so then its a 16Gb 1600MHz DDR3 + Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 1024MB, an OS X Yosemite version 10.10
"What happens when you import the files onto a non-quicktime sequence?", well I don't know how to create a sequence before dragging a file on the timeline on this premiere, so I dragged the "Second video" first and it created a sequence with AVC Intra 100 1080i
29,97 frames/second
preview file format AVC-intra class100 1080i
what's weird is that I could add the second video once, but not twice, and I can add the "first" video several times (it's weird because the sequence was created from the second video's properties)
To answer your last question, the same thing happens too. I can create another sequence with the "Second video", add the "First video" 10 times but I won't be able to add the second video a second time.
On the other hand, when i created another sequence with the "first video", I will be able to add the first video as much as I want, but I won't even be able to add the "second" video once.

Drag and drop images in Dreamweaver

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Cannot drag images into live view in Dreamweaver Cs6. Windows 7. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This happens randomly on all three machines. What's causing this. This is one of those that you see countless people saying the exact same thing same thing, but no answers. Aggravating. Any help?

Well this is from the link you posted. I've been dragging and dropping in Dreamweaver for years, and I'm doing it now so I'm not sure what you mean. These are three of the options (from the article) for insert image. I restarted Dreamweaver and now I'm able to drag and drop...for now. It seems to be intermittent and I'm wondering what's causing it. All of my machines do this.
Drag an image from the Assets panel (Window > Assets) to the desired location in the Document window; then skip to step 3.
Drag an image from the Files panel to the desired location in the Document window; then skip to step 3.
Drag an image from the desktop to the desired location in the Document window; then skip to step 3.

Drag and drop to illustrator

Hi All,
Using CS6 Mac, I am un successful in dragging and dropping a scanned image from PS to Illustrator.
In the past i was able to do this with CS3 PC.
Is this task possible?
Mike

Well, try it the way I suggested in post #1:
with both documents open, drag the layer of the Photoshop scan onto the open Adobe Illustrator document.
(...and I promise not even to ask why you're doing that. )

AS3 drag and drop masked bitmaps - not working

I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted into movie clips.
PROBLEM
All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.
ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's.
Is this problem because the objects were masked or for any other reason?
Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.
// ACTION SCRIPT

var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;

Drag and Drop Photos in Design View?

Hey all,
I feel like I'm going insane! I've used Dreamweaver for probably a decade now and the latest CC won't allow me to drop pictures into design view? I'm using MAC OSX Mavericks. Has this been disabled somehow?

Hi,
quoting from http://forums.adobe.com/message/5445040#5445040 (5. webdevandy): "drag and drop has always been available in Code View AND Design View. This ability was removed in Code View from a later build of CS6 CC. Design View still has drag and drop."
In my view it is to add:
1. You have to store/save your file first. (see screenshot of my German DW) > click OK.
2. You have to store/save your image into your rootfolder, DW "invites you to do this (see screenshot of my German DW). Click OK.
and behold, now your image appears.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I can work with two screens I can store my images on my desktop too.
