Specify launch-and-edit preferences for Fireworks source files
When you use Fireworks to edit images, the images in your web pages are normally exported by Fireworks from a
source PNG file. When you open an image file in Dreamweaver to edit it, Fireworks automatically opens the source
PNG file, prompting you to locate the PNG file if it cannot be found. If you prefer, you can set preferences in Fireworks
to have Dreamweaver open the inserted image, or you can have Fireworks give you the option of using the inserted
image file or the Fireworks source file every time you open an image in Dreamweaver.
Note: Dreamweaver recognizes the Fireworks launch-and-edit preferences only in certain cases. Specifically, you must be
opening and optimizing an image that is not part of a Fireworks table and contains a correct Design Notes path to a source
PNG file.
1 In Fireworks, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Fireworks > Preferences (Macintosh) and then click the
Launch And Edit tab (Windows) or select Launch And Edit from the pop-up menu (Macintosh).
2 Specify the preference options to use when editing or optimizing Fireworks images placed in an external
application:
Always Use Source PNG Automatically opens the Fireworks PNG file that is defined in the Design Note as the source
of the placed image. Updates are made to the source PNG file and its corresponding placed image.
Never Use Source PNG Automatically opens the placed Fireworks image, whether or not a source PNG file exists.
Updates are made to the placed image only.
Ask When Launching Displays a message asking whether to open the source PNG file. You can also specify global
launch-and-edit preferences from this message.
Insert Fireworks HTML code in a Dreamweaver document
From Fireworks, you can use the Export command to export and save optimized images and HTML files to a location
inside a Dreamweaver site folder. You can then insert the file in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver lets you insert Fireworks-
generated HTML code, complete with associated images, slices, and JavaScript, into a document.
1 In Dreamweaver document, place the insertion point where you want to insert the Fireworks HTML code.
2 Do one of the following:
• Select Insert > Image Objects > Fireworks HTML.
