Fireworks Pop Up Menu Issue in Dreamweaver

Hi I have built a pop up/dropdown menu in Fireworks. This menu bar is for a site that I built using dreamweaver. I exported the menu bar in fireworks and then inserted it into dreamweaver but when I do this the button images are missing. Instead of images (of the menu bar categories), there are gray boxes in the shape of the picture (category/button image).
I had this issue before and was able to correct it. I am not sure what I did though. Nothing seems to be working, since I am unaware of how I actually fixed it, I can't figure out how to fix it again.
When I preview the file in fireworks, it looks fine and everything seems to work. When I insert the html file into dreamweaver, I have this issue with the menu bar images. The weird thing is that it is only the button images. I do have this site published and I have uploaded all of the files but the pictures still do not show. The link to this site is www.pariswyattllansoart.com. (the site is still under construction obviously).
The menu bar works fine otherwise. The only issue is that the up and over images for the buttons of the menu bar do not show in dreamweaver or on the published site. Even the images that make up the rest of the menu bar show. If you check the site out, you will see what I mean.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Here is the code for the file:

Thanks you!!! Your advice was so helpful. First of all thank you for pointing out how I should be saving my files. Because of your advice, I thought I would watch the tutorial again and pay attention to exactly how he was saving his document. I was saving the doc like this: Menu Bar, now I know that I need to save this file like this: menuBar_file and it works wonderfully. The files have to be saved in a folder in the local directory. Also because of how I was saving things, I realized that I had a few other problems with DW. I fixed those issues and DW works wonderfully.
Also here is something else that I learned from this. Once I got the images working, the dropdown/popup menus where no longer working. The issue was that I was trying to insert the FW dropdown menu into a document that had already been saved as a template. If you do this, there is not enough room for all of the code, so the remedy is to insert the menu bar into an html doc. and then save it as a template.
Thanks so much again. I have learned so much.

Fireworks pop up menu and flash

hi,
I want to have a page layout like adobe.com. Fireworks Pop up
menu on top and flash swf file beneth it, but my Fireworks css pop
up menu is hidden by flash swf file embeded when I bring it all
together in Dreamweaver.
I guess this is because embeded files superceed the css
z-indexing but how do I overcome this isue. As I can see it can be
done at adobe.com.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter.

Help inserting Fireworks pop-up menu into Dreamweaver

I wonder if anyone can help me with pop-up menu insertion
process. I create the menu in Fireworks and export it to
Dreamweaver. I place the menu in a fresh test document and it works
perfectly every time, but when I go through the exact same series
of steps in my real page, I get a broken image icon. I just can't
understand why the path is fine one way, yet gets lost in the
shuffle the other way. The only two differences I can think of are
where in the site folder the test page is saved, as opposed to
where the real (archive) page is stored, and the fact that the
archive page already has rows and columns and cells, where the
fresh test page has just one basic table and nothing else at all. I
even tried manipulating the code directly to make the sections in
question identical, and even that doesn't do it. As far as I could
see, my actual working site page (which won't accept the insertion)
had one extra bit of code, namely
<td colspan="4"
Everything else seems to be the same.
I am losing my sanity over this!

Would it be too late to direct you to another menu approach
altogether? The
FW pop-up menus are not the sharpest knife in the drawer -

Pop-Up Menu Issues

I am using CS3 Fireworks and CS3 Dreamweaver to edit a pop-up
menu originally made in Fireworks. I have not altered the pop-up
menu code whatsoever, and when I preview the index file that the
pop-up menu is in from Dreamweaver, the menu appears to run just
fine. There are no numbers within any of the file names or menu
items. For some reason, once the index file is loaded onto my
server, certain menu items do not show up and the ones that do are
out of order. There are multiple pop up menu's within the index
file, but those two are single tiered and work fine. The pop-up
menu in question has 2 sub-groups. Could this be the
problem?

pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

Help with Fireworks pop-up menu

Hi All,
I created a vertical pop-up menu from Fireworks MX 2004. I
inserted it into my Dreamweaver file and it works great. However, I
want the white background of the pop-up menu to be have a 40%
opacity. I know I have to add a bit of coding to the mm_menu.js
file and I've tried every conceivable bit of coding I can think of
but still no luck. Does anyone know what to write and where to
write in the code? Thanks in advance for any help!
Below is the section of code that I've been working with. I
assumed the opacity coding would go here some where.

Fireworks pop-up menu question

when i use fireworks mx to create pop-up menus, the second level menus don't show on the iphone
when i use cs5 and export as external css, the second levels do appear on the iphone but i'm having a different problem - i'm centering the main image but the submenus don't follow to the trigger point they stay put, on the left of where they should be

The FW pop up menus are - quite possibly - the worst thing to use for a production-level site. And this is coming from a guy who LOVES Fireworks.
They code is bloated, difficult to customize outside of FW and no longer supported by Dreamweaver. Avoid them for anything but prototyping.
The other point worth raising though, is the usability of the site on a smart phone. You may want ot reconsider how the site is navigated when users are on a small-screen device, just for usability's sake, if nothing else. Always remember, big clumsy fingers have to tap the right menu item and if you have navigation with pop up sub-menus, that may be difficult. If you're relying on the user to pinch and zoom (like my stupid bank does) then you will frustrate the user, or possibly even give themt he impression that the company doens't understand mobile browsing.
Consider simplyfiying your navigation to larger, easy to tap buttons. Create style sheets that optimize the screen space for different screen sizes. If you're new to this, it will take some trial and error, but Dreamweaver offers several features to make it easier to design for multiple screen sizes, such as jQuery Mobile templates, and multi-screen preview.
And last - but not least - remember that FW is a GRAPHICS program, with some html capabilities, not a web authoring environment. Just as you don't expect to do complex imaging in Dreamweaver, you should not rely on Fireworks to do any complicated HTML/CSS web site authoring.

Problem with Fireworks pop up menu in DW

(I already posted this on the DW forum, but it's also about
FW, so may be someone here knows about this as well.)
Hi,
I am working on a page whose layout was created in Fireworks
and transferred to DW. After I transferred the page to DW and
created new ones from the template, I went back to edit my page in
FW. I created a couple of rollovers and pop up menus. After I made
these edits, I went back to DW and everything worked fine on the
template page, but my pop up menus did not transfer correctly to
the other pages. They appear in weird places (bottom of the page!)
and the styles pretty much disappeared as well.
Does someone know what could be the problem and how to fix
it? One of the things I noticed is that the menus' CSS file is only
completely visible on the template but not on the other pages. In
the template I can see all the styles applied in the file, but on
the other pages only the CSS title appears, not the styles applied
to the pages.
I am using FW and DW 8.
I need HELP!!!
Thanks for any information you can provide.
MS

> Does someone know what could be the problem and how to
fix it?
The general problem is that fly-out menus created in FW or DW
both suck.
Really bad. Inaccessible, poor usability, a pain to update,
and bloated
scripts.
The specific problem is that the FW menu uses layers. Meaning
that it
specifically positions the menus on the screen relative to
the FW file...not
your DW file, which may have moved the contents around the
page.
Best solution? Don't use these crappy menus. Here are some
better options:

Rollover Pop Up Menu Issue

I have 16 buttons with pop up sub menus that appear when
rolled over. I am using 16 different 2 frame movie clips with the
collapsed version in frame 1 and the expanded version in frame 2.
When the user either rolls off the submenu or enters the area
between the buttons there is a script telling all the movie clips
to go to frame 1. My issue is that the expanded images stick on the
screen if the user quickly goes from one button to the other. If
the user rollovers over one of the stuck images it goes away. Is
there a way for Flash to redraw the stage to avoid this or keep
checking if the stage needs to be updated?

1. Include an "on mouse out" event to handle the event of
exiting the menu area
2. and/or create an invisible button that surrounds the
outside of the menu area to triger the menu to close.

Fireworks pop up menu

How do I make the top menu tab stay hovered on when a mouse
goes over its submenus, right now it goes back to original image
after the mouse leaves the hotspot of the tab. I'd like to have it
like adobe.com.

Do not use the standard Simple Rollover behavior. Use the
Swap image
behavior instead, and uncheck restore onMouseOut in the Swap
image
editor. You'll find that it's more complicated even than that
however.
Here are some tutorials you'll find very useful in building
your own
menu systems from scratch.

The Adobe menu is done with Flash.

Adobe Fireworks cs5 pop up menu stile benutzerdefiniert

Hallo,
habe alles gemacht was in der Hilfe geschildert wird doch ich kann trotzdem nicht im pop up menu editor meinen eigen stil auswählen und habe nur die standard schwartweißen zur verfügung
vielleicht könntet Ihr mir weiter helfen
DANKE im Voraus
Hinzufügen benutzerdefinierter Menüstile zum Popupmenü-Editor
Legen Sie fest, welcher Zellenstil verwendet werden soll, wenn „Grafik“ als Zellenstil ausgewählt ist. Weitere Informationen zu Stilen finden Sie unter Erstellen und Löschen von Stilen.
Hinweis: Der genaue Speicherort des Ordners „Menu Bars“ ist abhängig vom jeweiligen Betriebssystem. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Arbeiten mit Konfigurationsdateien.
Wenden Sie eine beliebige Kombination aus Strich, Füllung, Textur und Live-Filtern auf ein Objekt an und speichern Sie es im Bedienfeld „Stile“ als neuen Stil.
Wählen Sie den neuen Stil im Bedienfeld „Stile“ aus und wählen Sie dann in demselben Bedienfeld im Optionsmenü die Option „Stilbibliothek speichern“ aus.
Suchen Sie den Ordner „Menu Bars“ auf Ihrer Festplatte, geben Sie der Stildatei, falls gewünscht, einen anderen Namen und klicken Sie auf „Speichern“.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter.

Help with transparent background for the pop up menu!

Hello everyone,
I am working on a Web site which has a pop up menu created in Dreamweaver 8. The pop up is over a picture and I'm thinking about to make its background transparent. I'm not really a programmer to be able to do it manually but I'm familiar with JS. Would anybody be able to help me with this? I truly appreciate it.
I could find the code but don't know where to place it! The JS file is about 700 lines!!! I'm so confused...Below is the source file for the JS that you could download...

Thanks so much.

Sure.

Dreamweaver, Fireworks pop menu and Flash banner issue

For some unknown reasons I am not getting my Fireworks
pop-menu to show over a flash banner. It looks like it's working,
but hidden behind the flash banner

>>but hidden behind the flash banner
That's because Flash content rises to the top, so to speak.
There is a
kludge/hack using the wmode parameter but I believe it only
works in IE.
Your best bet is to redesign the page so the Flash is
separated from the
menu.

Pop-up menue created by Fireworks 8 does not work well in Dreamweaver 8

Hi there,
I have experienced some strange behaviour of Dreamweaver 8
with respect to am enuebar with pop-up-Menue-HTML created by
Fireworks 8. Having designed the pop-up menue in Fireworks 8 all
works fine if you view it through Firewoks. After having exported
the XHTML-Code for Dreamweaver in a file all continues to work fine
if you view it with IE 7.
When imported to Dreamweaver as Fireworks-HTML blue boxes
were shown around the bar and the pop-menue appears with blue boxes
around. Viewing this stuff by pressing F12 in Dreamweaver shows up
the page in the browser with the menue bar and all the submenues (I
cant stand it anymore). I tried a lot of things but I failed. Help
would be appreciated very much.
Wolfgang

Have a read of this article - may convince you why it's not a
good idea to
use these menus:

Dreamweaver MX - troubles with a pop-up menu/navbar combo

Hi all,
I'm attempting to create a 4-button navigation bar, where
three of the buttons produce a popup menu with links to other pages
within the site onMouseOver. The navbar itself works great, but I
put all of that in a template, which of course is automatically
placed in a template folder. I have 6 or 7 other pages that all use
that template, and when I preview the template, the drop-down box
links work fine and I can get to an actual page from the template.
However once I'm at an actual page, every time I try to use the
navbar dropdown links again to get to another page, the browser
can't find the page! I tried moving the template to the same folder
as the pages, which solves the actual problem, but then prevents
the pages that are using the template from being automatically
updated, and therefore creates a new problem.
Should I just not use a template at all, and copy/paste the
template code into each page? Or is there another way to fix this
issue?
Thanks!

I'm presuming you are using the DW pop up menus... may I
suggest that you
read this article first before going any further:
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
There are better ways to create your menu, without all the
hassles of these
DW generic ones. Another article:
http://apptools.com/rants/menus.php
Anyway, you should not move the template file out of the
Template folder-
because as you say, it won't progate any changes to the child
pages.
The problem with the popups and the use of templates is in
the links. The
dwt file cannot read the actual links that are written in the
javascript
file the popups generate. There is a technote at the Adobe
site, but I
can't find it right now (seems to be a linking problem on the
site) do a
search for: "Using site root-relative paths with Fireworks
Pop-up Menus in
Dreamweaver templates", it may explain the issue further for
you
