New to CS3

Hello, im fairly new to any scene of CS3, but I bought web premium and I've seen almost all of the video in the video workshop for all the products that I use, including the lights of fireworks and Photoshop.

So far from what im seeing, looks like everything in it is easier to do in photoshop and fireworks. Ive been using Photoshop for years so im not too bad with her.

My problem here is that after watching the video of fireworks, it looked like I can pretty much create my website in photoshop, then open it with the same layers all intact in fireworks and add interactivity on my site, then convert into a web format and make my Web site. But the problem is I'm not too certain that you can do more.

Ive done a little site, and I put in some boxes come in and a "submit" button and everything works except the input boxes. They are always under the JPG image.

If I choose to register as a flash file, all my layers become visible and the thing looks really really really bad!

Apparently the im doing something wrong or bad im on the functions of fireworks and I should use something else instead.

Comments and any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

In fact, for most of us here it is exactly the opposite. Everything is
easier and more flexible in Fireworks :-) The first thing you can do
forget Photoshop when you work in Fireworks. They are
very different types of applications and workflow of Fireworks is a lot
closer to the Illustrator than Photoshop.

You can, but why go through Photoshop first when has most of the Fireworks
the same tools and its toolset of all vector, which makes it very
best layout and design application as any vector application would be.

You lost me there. You'll have to be more specific about the procedure
you have used. In addition, Fireworks is a graphical application, not a Web site
creating app. It can model the look of the form widgets, but you will have to
Use Dreamweaver or another application of creation to create the actual shape
the controls that appear in the HTML code. Do not use Fireworks to the
create the code, it is not its primary purpose and will give you more
trouble than it is worth. Use Firworks to create your graphs and
Dreamweaver to actually build your pages.

Cannot help you with export Flash because I never use it. But again, you'll have
you have to be more specific about what you want to achieve and how you
went on it for anyone to be able to help.

No. I think that you should just take the time to really learn what Fireworks
is and how to work with it. You should leave a lot of your Photoshop
State of mind at the door because Firworks works differently, and many of them
do the differences for a more efficient workflow and graphs that can be
updated the and re-edited more easily later.

You should probably also learn more about effective Web design a Web site
development and best practices. Export an entire page or site of
Fires of artifice (or Photoshop/ImageReady) is really not the ideal way to go
on this subject as there are many technical problems you cannot deal with
effectively in a graphics application. Any software can tell sellers
you, there is no such thing as WYSIWYG Web...

    My suggestion to you: do not reinvent the wheel.  There are many applications showcase that you can install that will do all this for you.  All you need to know at this point is the server model.

    What type of database? MySQL, ms sql, etc.

    What language aside server, you can use the server? PHP, asp, etc.

  • I have CS3 installed on my laptop.  I just got a new laptop.

    I want to take my suite CS3 out the old laptop and put it on the NEW one.  Is this going to be a problem when I try to delete off the coast of the old and put on the new, as CS3 is no longer supported?

    Make sure to turn on the old laptop before uninstalling (help > deactivate)

    But you don't need to uninstall until you are sure it works on the new. CS3 is old enough, and you may or may not encounter problems.

  • CS3 Flash swf not visible on the Web page

    Hello
    I'm working in Dreamweaver and Flash CS3. For some strange reason, swf Flash files are not displayed on my Web page. I never had this problem with MX2004.
    I downloaded the java script (new in CS3), but it still shows an empty area - the dimensions of swf - on the page. It has previewed fine locally, but not from the server.

    Help, please.

  • Return to Flash Professional 8 after Flash CS3

    I've tested the Flash CS3 and worked with a FLA document and it forced me to save in the new CS3 format. I didn't like the new Flash CS3 and returned and installed 8 Studio which includes Flash 8 Professional. Now I can't open the .fla file at all and it says: "unexpected file format", and it's a .fla file! Help, please. How can I cancel this works on my .fla files. Thank g-d only, I have done this with three files, but the three files are very important.

    I want to stay with Flash Professional 8, but now, after living in Flash CS3 and it forced me to save in the new format, I can not re - open my FLA files in Flash 8. Remedies? It is urgent and important.

    You cannot reinstall the trial - it expires after 30 days and you will need to buy to
    continue to use it.
    You have never ti uninstall Flash 8 to record up to 8 Flash with CS3 - you can have multiple
    version of Flash installed on the same machine.

  • Rounded corners using the rectangular selection tool

    Hello

    Being new Photosop CS3, I used the tool of rectangle Rect (RMT) and saw that my corners are rounded (round/nets) and the bottom of the box is mixed. Is there a way to reset the RMT while I have square corners and no mixing. Also, in time, I would like to have my RMT do so, how can I have rounded corners. (Of course, I did something)

    Thank you

    Steve

    In the Options bar at the top, set the feather to zero.

    You can always add feathers to the time where you want.

    Or use the form if you want more control. Draw a path with it and convert the path to a selection.

  • How to disable the "hint" cursor?

    Is it possible to disable this little 'trick' (I don't know what to call it) which apperas insite cursor when Im using for example Clone Stamp Tool or Healing Brush tool? I mean inside the cursor appars that you are healing or stamping. It was new in CS3. In CS2, it is that thing.

    It really bothers me. Can I disable this function?

    Do you mean the Clone Overlaytool? It was not in CS3, it happened with CS4. You can disable it in the Panel Source of duplication .

  • create the towers in rectangle ellipse mask... aaarrrrggghhh

    I'm new to CS3 and I am doing fine with Flash.  However, my recent meeting with Illustrator (13.0.2) is irritating to say the least.

    Simple task:

    (1) I start Illustrator, choose 'New' and set the size of 175 by 175 pix pix

    (2) in the layer window, I create two sublayers (2 and 3)

    (3) I drag my jpg (157 x 157) image in the background layer (2)

    (4) I hide layer 2 and layer 3 (that exceeds the 2 underlayment in the layer window) can create a rectangle (90 x 120).

    (5) I have "effect-> convert-> ellipse shape ' my rectangle with the pix 0 related for the two dimensions." I see my ellipse. WOW!

    (6) I "fix-> bring forward" the ellipse.

    (7) I view underlay 2

    (7) in the layer window, I click on layer 1, and then click Create/cancel clipping mask.

    VOILA, my mask works, but it is the rectangle. WHERE IS MY ELLIPSE?

    I search the web and wasted four hours trying solutions and advice.  Still no mask elliptical, rectangular only.

    How it became SO difficult?

    Expand the appearance of the effect for the converted Rectangle as the original form has not been changed it is always a rectangle.

    If you select the ellipse, you will see the selected rectangle, not a choice of form of an ellipse.

    If you want a true ellipse then use the ellipse tool if you want to enter the digital dimension just takes the ellipse tool and click on the canvas and ellipse dialog box appears, enter the dimensions click Ok and Voila and ellipse of this dimension.

    Now make your mask.

    If you are already happy with the ellipse you have as I wrote extend the appearance of one you have or use that I would come out the mask first and then develop more redo the mask.

    The ellipse tool is the tool of Marquis.

  • How to tag images locked position

    In Indesign CS 3 and CS 4, when a picture was locked, position I couldn't use the service tag on the image Frame.

    Could not change the position of the element in the structure the locked position images window...

    Was this something new in CS3 and CS4? How disable/overcome this restriction?

    Can someone please advise... Thanks a lot.

    Hi eboda_snaf,

    It is not clear from your posts, it is a question of script, but I will respond as if it was. Review the Scripting Guide MarkingUpGraphics.jsx script. We can show your problem by making a few changes to the script. Find the line (in the function of mySnippet):

    var myGraphic = myDocument.pages.item (0).pageItems.item (0).graphics.item (0);

    Now add this line following the line above:

    myGraphic.parent.locked = true;

    Run the script, and you'll see the error message indicates that InDesign cannot mark the chart because it is locked.

    Now, add the following lines below the threshold of what we just added:

    var myRestoreLock = false;

    if(myGraphic.parent.Locked == true) {}
    myGraphic.parent.locked = false;
    myRestoreLock = true;
    }

    Then, find the line:

    var myXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item (0).xmlElements.add (myXMLTag, myGraphic);

    .. .and add the following lines below:

    if(myRestoreLock == true) {}
    myGraphic.parent.locked = true;
    }

    Run the script again. You will see that the script unlocks the graph (or its parent rectangle, really). The script will not change the location of the chart.

    Thank you

  • Setting AutoFormat breaks the code, it's in CS4

    I found a reference to the automatic formatting of CS3 Flash break code AS3 on Jacques in May 2007 but was surprised to discover that it breaks yet code by removing the parentheses.
    Front
    truescale = Math.Pow (8, (1 - i) * scaleit);
    After
    truescale = Math.Pow (8.1 - i * scaleit);

    Of course, the results are catastrophic. Would someone like to check to see if CS4 Flash auto-format always causes the same error when editing .as files? May be worth the price of an upgrade if it NOT to spoil the format.

    The original code was: truescale = Math.pow (8,-(i-1) * scaleit) to reflect the real logic of the statement, but has now been rewritten to: truescale = Math.pow (8, scaleit - i * scaleit) that works, but does not reflect the intention of mathematics either.

    BTW: I think that others have probably run on this problem and that the subject would surely include the words "AutoFormat" but my search revealed nothing appropriate to this issue. I find this slightly disconcerting. Please do not hesitate to put my expectations.

    thinkingresearcher,

    I do not remember this reference in particular, but I knew the AutoFormat
    to reorganize my code in ways that I wasn't expecting.

    Interesting. For what it's worth, I just pasted this exact line of code
    in a pair of new Flash CS3 AS3 and AS2 - documents - and ran the
    autoformatter. In no case the Flash has removed parentheses. I tried
    the same in Flash CS4 and the results are the same: the original
    parenthesis structure remains unchanged.
