Open workflow features You need not be confined by someone else’s workflow. Using Fireworks MX, you can integrate graphic production into your development process with an open, efficient workflow that recognizes and supports the file formats, applications, and standards you use. JavaScript commands with SWF interface take JavaScript command creation to a higher level. Developers can create and execute complex commands to extend and automate Fireworks MX by combining Fireworks JavaScript extensibility API with interfaces developed in Flash MX using components and ActionScript. For more information, see Extending Fireworks MX, available as a PDF on the installation CD and at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fireworks/extend.html. Macromedia Exchange support means that users—even those who are not interested in creating JavaScript commands—can download user-created commands from the Exchange. The commands appear in the Fireworks MX workspace as easy-to-use panels or dialog boxes. Fireworks MX ships with several user-created commands in the Commands menu, as well as a user-created Align panel in the Window menu. Slice table layout controls let you define and optimize slice table layouts by dragging slice guides. Fireworks automatically resizes attached slices, adding and deleting slices as needed. For more information, see “Moving slice guides to edit slices” on page 271. The Reconstitute Tables feature instantly builds a new Fireworks PNG source file when you point to any HTML file containing tables with image slices. Macromedia Fireworks and Dreamweaver behaviors such as image rollovers and pop-up menus are imported and attached to the appropriate slices. This comes in handy when you are working on existing website projects and the only available files are the posted HTML pages. You can bring the HTML files into Fireworks and create PNG source files from them. For more information, see “Creating Fireworks PNG files from HTML files” on page 76. Roundtrip Photoshop 6 text allows you to open a Photoshop 6 or 7 file with editable text intact, so the graphic can be edited and then exported back to the Photoshop format, while maintaining
