About scripting with JavaScript
You can reduce the tedium of some repetitive tasks by writing your own JavaScript in a text
editor to run within Fireworks. You can control nearly every command or setting in Fireworks
through JavaScript.
Macromedia Dreamweaver also uses JavaScript. You can write scripts that control Fireworks from
within Dreamweaver.
For documentation on the JavaScript API, see Extending Fireworks.
