Macromedia
Fireworks 4
A Powerful Web Tool
by Rick Smith (February 23, 2001)
Version 4 is the latest rendition of Macromedia Fireworks, first introduced in March 1998. Nearly three years later, this current version provides a powerful tool to create, edit and enhance Web graphics, while maintaining a seamless workflow. Fireworks provides the necessary features for the entire range of users from professional web designers and HTML coders to novice designers.
Fireworks' evolution has concentrated on improving workflow by allowing HTML and JavaScript code to be moved seamlessly to other applications. Instead of inventing yet another "macro" language, Fireworks 4 can be completely controlled using JavaScript, enhancing workflow even further.
Macromedia Fireworks 4 also:
supports vector and bit-map graphics
allows selective JPEG compression
can create pop-up menus
creates JavaScript rollovers
imports and exports Photoshop format
imports and exports Wireless bit-maps
has an Macromedia style interface
can be launched and used from within Flash
interfaces well with other Macromedia tools
