Fireworks
Fireworks 4 (FW4) is bundled with DW4 in the Dreamweaver 4 Fireworks 4 Studio. This section covers integration between FW4 and DW4 (earlier versions of Fireworks offer more limited integration).

See Fireworks’ Help → Welcome option for tutorials and lessons on creating animations, rollover effects, and pop-up menus in Fireworks. Also see Macromedia’s Using Fireworks manual and Chapter 12 in Macromedia’s Using Dreamweaver manual.

When slicing your table, start with the complete image. Segment it into as simple a grid as possible, and block out the areas that will become rollover images and animated GIFs. To slice the image in Fireworks, use the Slice tool to draw the slice area on the image. (You can also select an object with Fireworks’ pointer tool or select an area with its marquee tool, and then choose Insert → Slice.)
