To copy Smart Objects
When you copy a Smart Object to a different location, the copy uses the same source and target files as the original.
If you want to independently resize and optimize a copy, you can later create a unique target file.
1 Copy a Smart Object to a different location.
2 If desired, create auniquetargetfilefor thecopy: In theBasic tabofthe ImageInspector,click thefoldericon
to the right of the Target text box.
Note: If a copied Smart Object shares a target file, GoLive displays a warning icon in the upper-left corner of the
image. This warning doesn’t indicate a problem with the site; it simply informs you that resizing or reoptimizing the copy
will change allrelated SmartObj
ects.Tolocaterelated copies throughout asite, see“To find thesourceofSmart Object

To change the matte color of Smart Objects
To create the illusion of transparency on a page, you can change the matte color of a Smart Object to match the
background color of the page. (In the target file, the matte color replaces transparency found in the source file.)
1 In the Layout Editor, select the Smart Object.
2 In the Basic tab of the Smart Image Inspector, specify a color in the Matte color box.
3 Click Apply.
Note: Smart Illustrator objects that use SVG or SWF format do not support matte color.
To configure GoLive to open source files in a separate application
1 Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 In the list on the left, select General.
3 Select Launch Other Applications To Edit Media Files.
