ADOBE FIREWORKS CS3 9 User Guide Add multiple pages to a single document In a never-ending effort to improve web-design workflows, Fireworks CS3 makes it easy to build complex multipage web prototypes using a single PNG file. Each page contains its own settings for canvas document, size, color, image resolution, and guides. These settings can be set on a per-page basis, or globally across all pages in the document. Taking the multi-page concept one step further, Fireworks layers can apply to a single page or be shared across pages. Once shared, the layers are shaded yellow to differentiate them from unshared layers. For rapid prototyping, you can create workflows with hyperlinks and hotspot behaviors on multiple pages. You can also preview all of your pages in a browser or export them all at once as multiple HTML pages. Prototype without complexity New Pages panel A new Pages panel gives easy access to all of the pages in your PNG file. Apply layers across pages Layers can apply to a single page, or can be shared across multiple pages. Once shared, the layers are displayed in yellow to differentiate from unshared Layers. Use a master page for common elements An optional master page can be used to hold elements that are common to all pages. For more information, see "Working with pages" on page 155. Create Flash-based slideshows Automatically create an image slideshow. The Create Slideshow command allows you to create a Flash slideshow without knowing how to use Flash. You simply select a folder with images, add slideshow options (such as slide transitions), select a Fireworks album player (a Flash template) for the final output, and automatically batch-process the required thumbnail and full-size images that are optimized for the web. Create a Flash slideshow without learning Flash Create Slideshow feature Choose Create Slideshow from the Commands menu to launch the new tool. For more information, see "Creating Slideshows" on page 250. Hierarchical layers In Fireworks CS3 the structure of layers in a document can be as simple or as complex as required and all hierarchical layers are preserved. When creating a new file, all items are organized at the same level, in a non-hierarchical manner. You can create new sub layers as needed and move items into them, or move elements from one layer to another at any time. You can also create multiple sub layers and group them. Use layers for greater design flexibility Hierarchical layers Use the Layers panel to create and organize layers as you need them. For more information, see "Working with layers" on page 159.
