Tutorial,
Tips and Tricks for semi-automated button creation,
editing, and exporting using Macromedia's Fireworks
graphics program.
All of the Fireworks books that are out there, have never talked
about these time saving tips and tricks. While a lot of experts take these
tips
and tricks
for granted and assume that you know them, we are going to show you some
tips on working with groups of buttons for navigation bars. |

A FEW POINTS to CONSIDER:
Ok, part of the problem is making all of these buttons. If you have Fireworks,
it will only take a couple of clicks and it's done.
Plus you get the full range and editing capabilities of a Graphic and Image Editor.
This means you can change the fonts to all the buttons at once. That also means
both, UP and DOWN button states.
You can change the color, the background, add a image to a single button and
keep the other text, resize the buttons, etc.
Plus, you can name AND save that same file name to be exported over and over
again with each change.
Sure it's a few clicks, but as you will see in the button tours above, it's only
a minute or two to get that custom button that you want. |
