Fireworks CS4 Layout Tools

[...] Fireworks CS4 Layout Tools (video) [...]

Whatever Happened to written tutorials… Video’s are cumbersom, and hard to follow, let alone grasp at anything!

@ Phil:

Different people learn in different ways. Check out adobe.com or communitymx.com or http://www.fireworkszone.com/ for many written tutorials. I have many written tutorials at adobe’s site and at Community MX, if you prefer to read.

That was very well illustrated. IMO, tutorial videos are not cumbersom – they challenge you to create what’s needed.

Thanks for being so Incredibly Helpful !
I find this particular Video to be fundamentally helpful. From here I can get up some little bit of speed while creating. (the new guy)
Wow, what a great piece of work FireWorks is. Literally, I did not know what I bought. I am impressed 1000 times over with the work that Adobe does. Can’t wait till I become fluent with the whole set of Premium CS4 programs.

@Tamara: Thanks very much! Feel free to suggest other tutorials you’d like to see.

@Terry: You’re very welcome. I’m glad you find the tutorials helpful! And yeah, Fireworks is pretty cool.

Jim, I really enjoy your tutorials. What option did you use for your background image to show through the grey rectangles?
Thank you,
Nat

If you have a complex layout with boxes partially overlapping then the export does not position relatively, its only for basic designs. Shit!

@ Nat: Thanks very much. I set the rectangles to 32 or 8 bit PNG with alpha transparency.

@ Crap: That’s just one of the limitations to the software, unfortunately. With complex layouts I prefer to build them myself anyway, for better control over the design.
