About Dreamweaver behaviors
If a single, unsliced Fireworks graphic is inserted into a Dreamweaver document and a
Dreamweaver behavior is applied, that graphic will have a slice on top of it when it is opened
and edited in Fireworks. The slice is not visible initially, because slices are automatically
turned off when you open and edit single, unsliced graphics to which Dreamweaver behaviors
are applied. You can view the slice by turning on its visibility from the Web Layer of the
Layers panel.
When you view properties for a slice in Fireworks that has a Dreamweaver behavior attached,
the Link text box in the Property inspector might display
javascript:;
. Deleting this text is
harmless. You can type over it to enter a URL if desired, and the behavior will still be intact
when you return to Dreamweaver.
When you work with Roundtrip HTML from Dreamweaver, Fireworks supports server-side
file formats such as CFM and PHP.
Dreamweaver supports all behaviors applied in Fireworks, including those required for
rollovers and buttons. The following Dreamweaver behaviors are supported by Fireworks
during a launch-and-edit session:
■
Simple Rollover
■
Swap Image
■
Swap Image Restore
■
Set Text of Status Bar
■
Set Nav Bar Image
■
Pop-up Menu
Optimizing Fireworks images and animations placed
in Dreamweaver
You can start Fireworks from Dreamweaver to make quick export changes, such as resampling
or changing the file type, to placed Fireworks images and animations. Fireworks lets you make
changes to optimization settings, animation settings, and the size and area of the exported
image.
