Hotspots can be rectangular, elliptical, or polygonal
??”just like those created by Dreamweaver with the Image Map tools. Because Fireworks is an object-oriented
graphics program, any selected image (or part of an image) can be automatically converted to a
hotspot. Like slices, hotspots can have both URLs and behaviors assigned to them.
In addition to the technique outlined in the text that follows, you can also use Fireworks??™
Button Editor (available by choosing Insert ??? New Button) to create your rollover images and
behaviors.

To include Fireworks-generated code in your Dreamweaver document, follow these steps in Fireworks:
1. Create your graphics in Fireworks, placing the image for each interactive rollover state??”up,
over, down (optional), and over while down (optional)??”in its own frame.
2. With the object in its first frame selected, create the hotspot(s) or slice(s).
To do so automatically, choose Edit ??? Insert ??? Hotspot or Edit ??? Insert ??? Rectangular Slice. To
do so manually, use the Hotspot or Slice tools in the Fireworks toolbox.
3. Where appropriate, use the Fireworks??™ Property inspector to assign URLs to hotspots or slices.
4. Click the target symbol displayed in the center of the hotspot or slice to display a menu of available
behaviors.
