USING FIREWORKS CS4
Slices, rollovers, and hotspots
Resizing multiple slice objects by dragging a single guide
If you drag one guide along a given coordinate, all other guides on that coordinate move with it.
Resize one or more slices
1 Position the Pointer or Subselection tool over a slice guide.
The pointer changes to the guide movement pointer
Drag the slice guide to the desired location.
2
The slices and all adjacent slices are resized.
Reposition a slice guide to the far edge of the canvas
❖
Use the Pointer or Subselection tool to drag the slice guide beyond the edge of the canvas.
Move adjacent slice guides
Shift-drag a slice guide across adjacent slices guides.
1
2 Release the slice guide in the desired location.
All slice guides that you dragged across are moved to this location.
To cancel this operation and return all slice guides to their original positions, release the Shift key before you release
the mouse button.
Edit slices with tools
Use the Pointer, Subselection, and Transform tools to reshape or resize a slice.
Note: Only polygon slices can be skewed or distorted.
Because the size of adjacent slice objects is not automatically adjusted, resizing and reshaping slices can create
overlapping slices. When slices overlap, the topmost slice takes precedence if interactivity is involved. To avoid
overlapping slices, use slice guides to edit slices.
❖
To edit the shaped of a selected slice, do one of the following:
• Select the Pointer or Subselection tool and drag the slice's corner points to modify its shape.
• Use a transformation tool to perform the transformation. Transforming a rectangular slice can change its shape,
position, or dimensions, but the slice itself remains rectangular.
• Use the Property inspector to change a slice object's position and size numerically.
Remove a slice
1 In the Layers panel, select the slice in the Web Layer.
2 At the bottom of the panel, click the trash icon.
