This is an awesome post. I didn’t have time to work along in Fireworks, but I did read through everything and I certainly can’t wait to try it out. I really can’t believe I’ve never used it. I’m gonna have to leave this post sitting in my Firefox browser until I get some time on the weekend

I’ve used FW since several versions back… the latest version (no longer beta) CS4 is pretty painful to use… creating pop-up menus is so slow. Would be nice if there was a text editor for the behind code. To do a pop-up, the only way I can get it to work is to do one or two things, and click done. If I try to do more than 2 processes (especially related to link creation) it doens’t crash, but the changes don’t ‘take’ and I’ve got to do them over and over.

[...] Fireworks CS4 Beta for Web Design This tutorial from Layers Magazine gives you an in-depth overview into web design prototyping with Fireworks CS4. The author of this tutorial is convinced that after reading his tutorial and trying Fireworks you will never go back. He is probably right, so, if you love your current graphic editor or protoyping tool don’t read this tutorial! [...]

All very exiting just a shame Adobe messed up Fireworks CS4. It’s crashed on me over 8 times today… I thought I left this sort of unstable software with Windows 98 and MacOS8… my advice don’t DOWNgrade (sic) to this from CS3 – you’ll regret it – wait for Adobe to sort it’s house out or at least offer some substantial Bug fixes… yes I’ve updated to the latest version and all SP3 fixes etc.

This seem to be a nice tutorial but since I am still very green in this design thingy, everything looks like gibberish to me. I have a simple question though, in fireworks 2004 MX I was able to create a bitmap, marquee a section, copy or cut that section and paste in a new window as a separate bitmap but I am not able to do that here with fireworks CS4. I used that handily to prepare images for my rounded conner divs. Can someone please let me know how that is done with fireworks CS4? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if anyone is monitoring these, but I’m grasping at straws here.
I created a site with Fireworks CS2 on a Mac, using rollovers and pop-up menus. Got it to work, no problem
Last week I installed CS4 suite, with new Fireworks, and suddenly my old sites, upgraded to FW4, no longer show rollovers or the pop-up menus in either preview or when pushed to the server.
What was done when the CS4 suite was installed that made my rollovers and pop-ups disappear!?! Does anyone know?

I realise this question will made me look like an idiot but I would like to make the heading on my home page move in and out of focus, changing alternately between two sets of words, any ideas? Many thanks

I’m trying to attach text to path but can’t figure out how to activate Attach to pathon text on menu bar. I am clicking pointer tool, Press and hold down shift, and clicking the text and the path. Then going to menu-text but attach to path is now highlighted to be selected. What am I missing? Please help!

I always use fireworks for web designing and some image composition with Photoshop, I don’t think it changed that much when it comes to design but I loved some new features like exporting entire layouts into a PDF file. It saves loads of time when sending projects for my clients.
