Fireworks MX
2 days
In this comprehensive 2 day course you'll learn how to use Fireworks
to create graphics with both vector and bitmap images, apply special
effects, build buttons, add rollovers, and create an animated GIF.
You'll learn to optimize your images and to use the Export preview
to compare formats and palette choices before making the final output
decision. You'll create two types of image maps: a conventional
image map where areas of a graphic become hotspots for linking to
Web pages, and a disjointed image map where another portion of the
graphic is swapped out when the user rolls over a hotspot.
In addition, you'll create pop-up menus for navigating to other
HTML pages in your site.
