Overview:
Macromedia Fireworks
4 is an integrated, all-in-one tool for producing graphics and
animations for the World Wide Web.
You
can create buttons, animations, and page comps. Save
production time with the History panel, step-by-step button
maker, and the Library. Everything remains editable (including
files from other leading graphics applications) and Fireworks
code integrates seamlessly into Macromedia Dreamweaver and
other leading HTML editors.
Upon successful completion of this course,
students will be able to:
 | Create and edit vector paths precisely
and efficiently using the Pen and Subselection tools.
|
 | Wrap text on a path and convert text to
paths. |
 | Sharpen images and improve their contrast
precisely. |
 | Create image effects such as cloning,
masking, and patterns. |
 | Create and edit complex rollover
behaviors, including multi-state navigation bars and
drop-down lists. |
 | Use instances of symbols throughout a
Website, and modify the original symbol to update all
instances. |
 | Create animation and buttons using
symbols. |
 | Modify HTML export settings to create
files that match the format of the HTML editor application
you use. |
