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.

About scripting with Flash SWF files

With Flash, you can create SWF movies that contain JavaScript code. These movies can be
used as Fireworks commands, accessible from the Commands menu in Fireworks.
You can even create a SWF movie and use it as a Fireworks panel, accessible from the Window
menu. The Align panel in Fireworks is an example of a Flash movie imported as a panel.
