Working With Other Vector Graphics Applications; Unsupported Features; Working With Macromedia Director Mx - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Working with other vector graphics applications

Fireworks can share vector graphics with other vector graphics applications, such as Adobe
Illustrator. In Fireworks, you export and import vector graphics from these applications in the
same way that you export and import graphics from Macromedia FreeHand. For more
information, see "Working with Macromedia FreeHand MX" on page

Unsupported features

Because Fireworks and other vector graphic editors do not always share the same features, the
appearance of objects will differ between applications.
Most other vector graphic editors, including Macromedia FreeHand, do not support the
following Fireworks features:
Live Filters
Blending modes
Textures, pattern fills, web dither fills, and gradient fills
Slice objects and image maps
Many text-formatting options
Guides, grids, and canvas color
Bitmap images
Some strokes

Working with Macromedia Director MX

You can combine the power of Fireworks and Macromedia Director MX. 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.
The Director HTML style does not support pop-up menu code.
