Flash SWF movies used as Fireworks
panels
Some panels in Fireworks, such as the Align panel, are actually Flash SWF movies.
If you know JavaScript or ActionScript, you can create your own Fireworks panel by designing
and coding it in Flash and exporting it as a SWF movie. If dropped into the Command Panels
folder on your hard disk, the movie will appear as a panel in the Fireworks Window menu.
For more information about using Flash SWFs as Fireworks panels, see Extending Fireworks.
NOTE
The exact location of this folder varies from system to system and depends on whether
you want the panel to be available just to your user profile or to all users. Command
Panels folders are located in the Configuration folder in the Fireworks application folder
and also in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For more information, see
“Working with configuration files” on page 451.
