Specifying Export Settings For Slice Objects; Naming Slices - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 2-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Choose an HTML output format, select a
5
destination folder, and click Export.
Each region is exported as a separate graphic using
the name entered in the Object inspector. If no
name is entered, then the slice is named according to
settings in the File > Document Properties dialog
box. See "Setting slice auto-naming." for more
information on how slice names are generated.
Specifying export settings for slice
objects
Each slice object can use different export settings when
the image is exported. To specify an export setting for a
slice object, select the slice object and then choose a
setting from the Export Settings pop-up on the Object
inspector. The settings listed in this pop-up are presets
saved from the Export Preview, including any presets
that you create.
Choose Export Defaults to export the slice using the
document's export settings.
Choose an export preset for exporting the slice.
Choose Custom to open the Export Preview and set
specific settings for the selected slice.
Choose Text (No Image) and enter text to export
text or HTML code for the slice object and not the
underlying image.
To apply a custom export setting to a slice, click the
button to the right of the Export Settings pop-up to
open the Export Preview and enter specific settings for
the selected slice object.

Naming slices

Enter a slice name to define the file name of the slice
when it is exported and to label the slice when targeting
it from a rollover behavior.
To enter a custom name for a slice, select the slice,
uncheck Auto-Name Slices on the Object inspector,
and enter a name in the slice name field below the
checkbox. Unnamed slices default to the naming
conventions set in the File > Document Properties
dialog box.
Setting slice auto-naming
Slices that are not custom named are automatically
named by Fireworks. However, you can control how
Fireworks auto-names slices. To change auto-naming
settings, choose File > Document Properties. Then, in
the Document Properties dialog box, choose a different
setting from the Auto-naming pop-up.
The basename of the slice is the name you enter when
exporting the document. The following table illustrates
the auto-naming options if you enter a basename of
MyFile.
Choose
Basename_Row#_Col#
BaseName_Numeric
BaseName_Alphabetical
Row#_Col#_BaseName
Numeric_BaseName
Alphabetical_BaseName
