Wanna know the compatibility

[Guest_imported]

Hi

Just wanna know if image made from Fireworks verion 3.0 are compatible with Flash version 5.0. I am troubled with image mappings done in fireworks as they doesn't seem to be hyperrlinked if imported into a flash file.
Please lemme know some solution for this

thanx

Sush,

Image mapping would only be carried over to an HTML editor or application. Flash is not based on HTML and even though there are a few tags it understands within certain parameters, It would not be sensible or even possible to do this.

You could create the image if you liked in Fireworks and then copy-paste it into Flash where you could assign hit states to the various areas. This would, in the long run, be simpler than a image map in my opinion.

I am not aware of how knowledgeable you are in Flash but if you are wanting to use Flash, you would be better off creating the vector objects within the Flash application rather than importing bitmaps in from Fireworks.

A rather long way of saying no. To my knowledge this is not a possibility and definitely was not the intentional relationship between Fireworks and Flash.

There is a Flash forum here at tek-tips with a pretty good cast of professionals and up-and-coming professionals eager to answer your questions in that arena should the need arise.
