BIG Problem when exporting/Previewing

[daviddooley]

I'm using Fireworks MX. Everytime I go to Preview in browser or export after I have all the slices completed, something is going wrong. It exports the slices as a html file, but when I open that file in IE or Dreamweaver, the images for the slices are missing. I've got the images going to the same folder as the file, but there are no images being exported like it's suppose to. I don't have this problem on my MAC, but I'm trying to resolve this problem on my PC at work. Any suggestions on what my be causing this? I've check all settings and they seem to be right. Please help

a) possible answer ...
Sounds like maybe you expect the preview function to operate as an export, it is not, it is simply for a quick view of your work in the browser. Are you expecting "preview" to be your export function? Note that the Preview typically creates a large GIF for viewing only (to see what I mean, watch your html title when you preview .... it will say gif01 or similar)

b) possible other answer ...
You are exporting correctly, but the images, as you thought, have gone astray.
Carefully check the process of where the images go when you walk through the export wizard (or use the wizard if youa re not ...). The best way to a foolproof non-loss of sliced images is to CREATE the folder, name it, then choose it via the wizard.


Answer B) is the only one that actually explains why this would happen on one o/s and not another, UNLESS your settings / option choices in various versions are different.
