Working with Director
You can combine the power of Fireworks and Director. Fireworks lets you export graphics and interactive content
into Director. The export process preserves the behaviors and slices of the graphic. You can safely export sliced
images with rollovers and even layered images. This lets Director users take advantage of the optimization and
graphic design tools of Fireworks without compromising quality.
Note: The Director HTML style does not support pop-up menu code.
Placing Fireworks files in Director
Director can import flattened images from Fireworks, such as JPEG and GIF images. It can also import 32-bit PNG
images with transparency. For sliced, interactive, and animated content, Director can import Fireworks HTML.
For information on exporting flattened Fireworks images such as JPEG and GIF images, see Fireworks Help.
