save the PNG.

image.
Change animation settings
If you are opening and optimizing an Animated GIF file, you can also edit the animation settings. The animation
options in the Export Preview dialog box are similar to those available in the Fireworks States panel.
Note: To edit individual graphic elements within a Fireworks animation, you must open and edit the Fireworks
animation.
Set launch-and-edit options
To use Roundtrip HTML effectively, you should perform some preliminary tasks, such as setting Fireworks as your
primary image editor in Dreamweaver, specifying launch-and-edit preferences in Fireworks, and defining a local site
in Dreamweaver.
Set Fireworks as the primary external image editor for Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver provides preferences for automatically starting specific applications to edit specific file types. To use the
Fireworks launch-and-edit features, make sure that Fireworks is set as the primary editor for GIF, JPEG, and PNG files
in Dreamweaver.
Note: Setting this preference is necessary only if you're having trouble starting Fireworks from within Dreamweaver.
In Dreamweaver, choose Edit > Preferences and then choose File Types/Editors.
