Is Fireworks buggy or is this just the way it usually is?...

Im new to Fireworks CS4 so I dont know what to expect.
But:
Is there supposed to be nothing in the behavior pallette?
It's blank.
For the 25 years I have been using every other Adobe app there is, usually the palettes I want to use have something inside them.
Makes it way easier to actually do something with them...
When you select on object on the page, isnt it supposed to move when you click and drag it?
Call me crazy, but that's a little convention Ive gotten used to.
Is there some secret trick that makes objects actually editable in Fireworks?
I have noticed that if I give up and go away for about a half an hour and come back, that same object will suddenly have changed to being movable.
Weird.
Is this an issue with non Intel machines or something?
Im trying to wrap my head around FW, but these two very basic snags are making it hard to find the love.

Update on this one:
I discovered that the frozen objects issue is really a problem with using a Wacom tablet.
Looks like maybe Fireworks does not support the use of pen tablets (Wacom tablets)
Is that possible?
I use the Wacom with just about every other app I use.
When I use a regular mouse, everything moves as expected.
When I use the Wacom, its all completely hit or miss.
Sometimes it works, most times it doesnt.
Any way to fix this problem?

  • Is this just the way it is or am I doing it wrong.

    Hi all.
    While everything works just fine, whenever I have a dynamic link to AE the render times can be, well, painful. So today I tried something. I rendered the same opening sequence out, as a lossless best setting (AVI 1920X1080) in AE and it took 59 seconds. I imported it into my PPro sequence and rendered it out as .264 and that took 27 seconds.
    If I have a dynamic link to the same sequence in AE from PPro the render is around 17 minutes.
    Am I doing sometihng wrong ? Or is that the price you pay for convenience ?
    System Setup
    AMD 955BE Phenom II Quad Core
    16GB of 1600 Ram
    EVGA GTX560
    HDD are 3 X 1 TB, OS, Source and Target.

    Hi, yes, I have GPU active but I have noticed that when I render the dynamic link to AE, the GPU is only used very lightly, 2-5%. I don't have Max Render Quality checked.
    So you see the same render times, for a dynamic link and a straight up AE render, that gives me hope, I'll scratch around a little more. I typically run with all defaults and have not set many preferences outside of that.
    Should have added this in the first post, this is CS5.5

  • The pinned app tabs work like they're supposed to until I quit Firefox. Then, when I open Firefox again, the pinned app tabs aren't there. Is this just the way the Mac version of Firefox works, or am I doing something wrong?

    Mac OS X 10.6.7, Firefox 4.0.1, using a MacBook Pro.

    >When you use the includeIn command, by default the object will only be created when it is needed. Hence, you will execute a creationComplete
    >event, and therefore atleast 100 million (sometimes 400 million) loops, when each required Button state is needed. Obviously, once each button
    >state has been created the creationComplete handler (invalidateDisplayList) will not usually be called again.
    So are you saying there is a better way or another way to do that? Or are you just telling me that's how it works? Because I know that the includeIn isn't creating the other buttons untill they are needed. I need them created when the button is created. That is my question, how do I get the other states to be created when the button is created so that I don't see the button flash black?

    hi i just wanna ask about the volume down button in the ipad 2 ,it was mute the device when hold it at once but before 2days i noticed that the device did not mute when i hold it ,why? and how i fix this by the way it is still volume down

    Have you tried restarting or rebooting the iPad and then see if the volume control will work again?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

    How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

    Select a Photo in the iPhoto Window and click on the 'i' button lower right. This uncovers the Info Panel, and you can assign a Place there. Search on the name of the place and then move the pin to where you want it. This is all covered in the Help and in the tutorials.

  • 24 hours so far downloading Lion and no end in sight. Is this really the way forward?

    Here in the UK a lot of us have fairly pathetic download speeds, so I ask Apple is this really the way forward?

    Same for me - started 20.July about 7pm in germany with VDSL capable of 2.5MB/s
    Download Started well soon but dropped to about 300KB/s. Stopped and went to bed at about 10pm.
    Resumed at 21. July at 7am - between 100KB/s and 300 KB/s for about 90min. Stopped and got to work.
    Resumed now at about 2:30p.m. lying between 50KB/s and 100KB/s :-(

  • Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor?

    Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor? edit

    Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
    In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
    Does that help?

  • External TTF Font Embedding, is this still the way?

    Hey all,
    I'm a typical embedder. I just embed the fonts, register them from another file and be done with it. Though I'm starting to desire to embed some ranges and also use test loading external .ttf files.
    What is the best practice for embedding an external TTF at runtime? Is it still basically like this? Anything more modern? I find most blog posts on the subject range in the 2007 area.

    Thanks I was just curious if it was such an old topic on the net because it never changed syntax. So it remains the same way to this day a few years later.
    I also know you can embed ranges using the font manager in  CS5 or CS5.5 and that's what I'm doing now. I'm just wondering if there's any advantage to embedding external .ttf files. One of which could be naming the font something generic both in the code and the filename itself like font.ttf and being able to change the font externally without recompiling the SWF. I was considering options such as that.
    Thanks for the tip!

  • Url used to show in the url box when opening from a shortcut or email, but now it's not there. If I refresh the page it is. How do I get this back the way I like it?

    The url of the website that I'm visiting used to show in the url box when I opened from a shortcut or email. But not it's not there unless I refresh the page. I've looked and haven't found a way to set this so that it works like it used to. I liked being able to click in the address bar and copy the link, or even to look there and see where I am.

    I'm unable to check it in safe mode because the only time it happens is when I click a link and have not firefox open. For example if I would click a link in my email right now, it would open in another tab and show the address of the link I clicked. But if I didn't not have this window open and clicked alink, it would open a new window and I wouldn't be able to see the url.
    Here's a screen shot.

  • When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

    I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

    That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
    To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
    1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
    2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
    3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.
