Combining Images in Fireworks
Inserting Rollovers
The rollover is a fairly common but effective Web technique to indicate interactivity. Named after the user
action of rolling the mouse pointer over the graphic, this technique uses from two to four different images
per button. With Fireworks, you can both create the graphics and output the necessary HTML and
JavaScript code from the same program. Moreover, Fireworks adds some sophisticated twists to the standard
on/off rollovers to enable you to easily enhance your Web page.
Rollovers created in Fireworks can be inserted into Dreamweaver using several methods. First, you can use
Fireworks to build the images, and then you just export them and attach the behaviors in Dreamweaver.
This technique works well for graphics going into AP elements or images with other attached behaviors.
The second method of integrating Fireworks-created rollovers involves transferring the actual code generated
by Fireworks into Dreamweaver??”a procedure that can be handled with one command: Insert
Fireworks HTML??”Insert ??? Image Objects ??? Fireworks HTML.
Using Dreamweaver??™s behaviors
With its full-spectrum editability, Fireworks excels at building consistent rollover graphics simply. The possible
states of an image in a rollover??”up, over, down, and over while down??”are handled in Fireworks as
separate frames.
