FIREWORKS QUestion, Laides And Gents
Eh its me again...
I'm done with flash, now moving onto to Fireworks. An issue arose when I wanted to import a button onto my stage. The button imported fine, the thing is I had to set the length and width for it. Is there a tool where you can import a button onto the stage without having to set the height manually and what not?
Maybe I wasn't paying attention or something but, is there an radio button or a click somewhere, whereby my site will be centered when exported through the Wizard?
BTW I'm using StudioMX 2003.
I'll post my spiffy html site... in like week or so.
Thx for taking a minute to answer my crappy questions.

Dreamweaver too .. . can't you just make pages in
Fireworks and link them or is there some sort of problem that comes up or what ? Why does everyone
say . . .
FIREWORKS>>>>>>$$$$$$$4
There is one problem. I have fireworks4. The problem is that my screen is not that big and you know when you start fireworks that you see the main menu? Such as: Tutorials help all that? If you dont here is a screen shot. How can I take it out? If my screen is smaller than that? And I don't see the X to close it
See 4 your self and you will need to maximize your window~

Fireworks MX ?
This is a real stupid question probaly for most of you, but to be honest, I think I am just missing something or am I? this is the first time I have done this so bear with me on this one.
On my html version of my site, when you click the buttons they go to a frame it the top left. Simple enough. Everytime I go to create a button or a link in any other frame besides frame 1 the button will shift back to frame 1. There are 7 frames, one for each button. It is driving me crazy and I know I am missing something? I apoligize if this is posted in the wrong spot, is there any help for my stupid problem?
Please let me know, I know I am missing something, thanks

hi
not sure where to post this so i will try here.
Basically i want to know how to cut an image from it's background.
The only tools i have found so far is the wand tool and the polygon select.
coming from a PS background these seem very limited.
Does fireworks have a pen tool to build clipping paths or channels or colour select options to help build advanced masks?
Fireworks...
Not sure what graphics programs you use, but I know that you can create this effect in Macromedia Fireworks, but drawing a shape and choosing this pattern as a fill, instead of a solid color.
Other programs may have this feature as well - hope this helps.

More fun with the BitmapData class.
This is a really clean.. in my opinion really slick, Fireworks effect using nothing more than BitmapData.
The Code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;import flash.geom.Point;var GRAVITY:Number = 0.98;var bgcolor:Number = 0x000000000;var fadecolor:Number = 0x22000000;var width:Number = 400;var height:Number = 300;var x:Number = Stage.width/2;var y:Number = Stage.height/2;000var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 10);var canvas:BitmapData = new BitmapData(width, height, true, bgcolor);var white:BitmapData = new BitmapData(width, height, true, fadecolor);var background:BitmapData = new BitmapData(Stage.width, Stage.height, false, 0xFF333333);var shadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(1, 45, 0x444444, 100, 5, 5, 3, 3, false, false, false);attachBitmap( background, 99 );container.attachBitmap( canvas, 100 );container._x = x - width/2;container._y = y - height/2;container.swapDepths( 100 );container.filters = [shadow];var mortar : Point = new Point();var mortarVY : Number = 2;var mortarVX : Number = 0;moveMortar();var blowUpIntervalID = setInterval(this, "blowUp", 3000);function blowUp(){ var particles:Number = Math.round((Math.random() * 180) + 20); trace(particles); for (var i:Number=0; i<particles; i++) { var x:Number = mortar.x;// - container._x; var y:Number = mortar.y;// - container._y; generateParticle(x, y); } moveMortar(); }function moveMortar() : Void{ mortar.x = (Math.random() * container._width); mortar.y = container._height; mortarVY = Math.round( Math.random() * (4-1) ) + 1; mortarVX = (Math.random() * 2)- 1;}function onEnterFrame(){ canvas.draw( white ); mortar.x += mortarVX; mortar.y -= mortarVY; mortarVY *= GRAVITY; canvas.setPixel( mortar.x, mortar.y, 0xFFFFFF );}function generateParticle(startX:Number, startY:Number) : Void{ var point : Object = new Object(); point.x = startX; point.y = startY; point.vy = -Math.random() * 10 - 5; point.vx = Math.random() * 10 - 5; point.color = Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF; point.animID = setInterval(point, "move", 40); point.move = function() { canvas.setPixel( this.x, this.y, this.color ); this.x += this.vx; this.y += this.vy; this.vy += GRAVITY; if (this.y > Stage.height) { clearInterval( point.animID ); delete this; } }}

Can someone please tell me how I can make fireworks in Flash 8 using actionscript? Thanks in advance.
Fireworks
Im trying to duplicate a mc called "substar" 5 times for every "star" mc there is. So far I failed miserably. Also does anybody know why my "star"s disappear. GRRRRR, I'm so frustrated.
I have a frame named "Init" with this code on it:
ActionScript Code:
var mc:MovieClip
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
name = "star"+i
duplicateMovieClip("star", name, i);
mc = eval(name)
mc.explodeX = random(3)-1;
mc.explodeY = 5;
trace(mc.explodeY)
if (mc.explodeX>0) {
mc.explodeX -= ((random(99)+1)/ 100);
} else {
mc.explodeX += ((random(99)+1)/ 100);
}
}
var gravity:Number = 0.045 // times 100;
var overthemark:Boolean = false;
Next I have a frame called "Fire" with this code on it:
ActionScript Code:
var mc:MovieClip;
var mc2:MovieClip;
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
name = "star"+i;
mc = eval(name);
mc.explodeY -= gravity;
mc._x -= mc.explodeX;
mc._y -= mc.explodeY;
if (mc._y<spread._y) {
for (k=1; k<6; k++) {
name2 = "substar"+k;
duplicateMovieClip("substar", name2, k);
mc2 = eval(name2);
mc2._x = mc._x;
mc2._y = mc._y;
}
}
}
Next I have a frame after that with this code on it:
ActionScript Code:
gotoAndPlay("Fire")
Anyone know the solution please reply ASAP. Thank You!!

This is a lengthy explanation so be ready.
First i have a mc named Star0 which is a component and I have these parameters on it:
1) name: gravity///variable:grav/// value:10/// type:Number
2) name: launch/// variable:launch/// value:30/// type:Number
3) name: numspark/// variable:numspark/// value:5/// type:Number
4) name: numstar///variable:numstar/// value:10/// type:Number
I have another mc named Spark0
On a frame named Init i have:
ActionScript Code:
var gravity:Number = Star0.grav;
var launches:Number = Star0.launch;
var numspark:Number = Star0.numspark;
var speed:Number = launches-gravity;
var numstar:Number = Star0.numstar;
var gravup:Number = 0.01;
var drop:Number = gravity/2;
var dropup:Number = ((gravity/10)+1);
for (i=1; i<numstar; i++) {
var heading1:String = "Star"+i;
duplicateMovieClip("Star0", heading1, i);
}
for (i=1; i<numspark; i++) {
var heading2:String = "Spark"+i;
duplicateMovieClip("Spark0", heading2, i);
}
Next in a frame named Fire I have:
ActionScript Code:
var mc:MovieClip;
if (speed>0) {
for (i=0; i<numstar; i++) {
speed -= 0.1;
var role = "Star"+i;
mc = eval(role);
mc._y -= speed;
mc._x += random(40)-20;
}
}
if (speed<=0) {
gotoAndPlay("Falling");
}
on the frame after Fire I have:
ActionScript Code:
gotoAndPlay("Fire");
After that I have a frame named Falling
The problem is if you put this into flash and play it mc Star0 and all its duplicated stars shoot into the sky and move around randomly, I want it to choose one random value and keep on adding that to star's x.

In fireworks, I'm trying to set up frame by frame animation. I looked in help but it didn't really help. So I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas or just a tip to kinda direct me into the twilight. heh.
In addition, I'm trying to make an effect with light coming from the text. I dont know a good reference, but I hope you guys kinda know where I'm heading. Is there a good tutorial for that or should I just play around with it.

Flash Vs Fireworks
Hey, ive pretty much taught myself flash and i've just started with fireworks. i've noticed theres quite a bit of crossover between the two. what i wanna know tho is which is the industry standard for creating an entire website?. i do know xhtml so i can just embed each thing into a site anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Fireworks Slices?
This may be a silly question. I created my very first page in Photoshop and Fireworks 3; it has a nice rollover effect on the buttons. In order to create the rollover I had to use slices. Okay, now do I have to reassemble the slices into Dreamweaver 3 in order to publish the page (rollover intact?) How do I do this? I sincerely appreciate any help on this subject. Thank you.
Fireworks Og Photoshop?
Hello,
a question regarding imported graphics in flash.
I've used Photoshop for 2+ years now, but I've seen most examples around refering to fireworks when it comes to design etc.
Are most examples using Fireworks only because both are Macromedia?
What are if any, the advantages of using Fireworks instead of Photoshop?
Fireworks ---> Flash 5
I can't figure this out...i hope it's possible tho. I have a Web site i'm working on and i've got a top frame and a main frame. The top frame will have the buttons. I made an amazing little 3D thing in Fireworks as the Menu. It is something that is impossible to do in Flash 5. I want to export it and import it into Flash 5 as VECTORS. The only way i can think to do it is export it as a .gif and that is too big! i am big on having small files that load quickly. that is why i prefer to work with Vectors. I tried to export it as a .swf but when i import it, it loses ALL of the quality 3D things i did to it. It's just plain. Is it possible to do this? or will i need to export it from Fireworks as a .gif?
Transparency In Fireworks
Anyone know how to make a semi-transparent box in fireworks the same as you can in Flash by messing with the alpha.
Thx
Fireworks And Flash MX
Does anyone else here use Fireworks? I have Fireworks MX, and it worked great with making graphics for my work with Flash 5, but in the last couple of days i got Flash MX and Firworks wont work with it. Everytime I try to copy something from Fireworks MX to Flash MX, it crashes Flash. But Flash MX works fine with other programs such as Photoshop or Paint.
Could this mean there is a problem with my Flash MX and .PNG files?
If anyone else has experienced this, or a similar problem, and might know what the answer could be, please reply to this message.
Cheers guyz.

Does anyone know a tutorial on adding effects to images (*.jpg) using Fireworks? I have noticed some nice flash sites that have added effects to *.jpg. (I.e. lights turning on and off). I am guessing they used fireworks to do this.

Flash To Fireworks
Hi y'all,
I have made some pictures on Flash. From the .fla file, i save them as a jpeg or jpg.
However, when i look at them in Flash all is crystal clear. But when i open the picture save as Jpg...all is blurry and it all looks like a painting where some water has been spilled on.
Wot is my solution?

Fireworks Buttons
OK here's the thing.
I wanna make some buttons for my flash page, but I want to use fireworks to design them, but when I import to flash they look like ****...any good way of doing this?
In case anyone wanna help further, I'm gonna explain the effect I'm going for.
I'm using FW's Glow effect on text, and making an animation with several frames, and in each frame I increase the glow, starting at 0 and going up in steps of 2 until it reaches 10, and then reducing it again back to 0. Creates a nice glowing effect, but I can't do it inside flash...I'm open to suggestion, if there's a way to do it only with flash, even better. I'm a little pissed off at Fireworks for not opening its own PNG files.
