How do I export changes to menu from FW to DW w/o overwriting all?

[keano]

I have made a design and navigation in Fireworks with button that fly out. I went back to the design to add links to the menu in Fireworks but don't know how to export it without overwriting my template?

You can use the UPDATE HTML function to update only images or both HTML and images.

Dear Keano

One way to Export Firework Files (in your case 'a button that fly out' - I believe this to be a popup menu) is to export it as a HTML file.

The second step is to open this HTML file in Dreamweaver. This file is separate from you Template file.

You'll need to know how to read JavaScript for the next step. See

In your Template File insert a Layer
(Insert>Layout Objects>Layer)

In code format (in dreamweaver), the layer should read read as follows.

<div id="Layer1"></div>

Simply seperate the javascript code, it should look like this:

<div id="Layer1">

</div>

Now go to the other Dreamweaver file (the one you exported as a HTML file from Fireworks) and select the the java script code for the popup menu. If your unsure just copy all the scripts between and including the codes below:

<script language ="JavaScript">
(lots of code should be here- lines and lines of it
</script>

Now Paste it in the Layer you inserted in your Template.
It should look something like:

<div id="Layer1">
<script language ="JavaScript">
(lots of code should be here- lines and lines of it
</script>
</div>

Go back to the design view in Dreamweaver and adjust where you want the popup menu to be.

Hope this helps
