fireworks

A collection of free productivity-enhancing extensions that I've built for Adobe Fireworks using JavaScript, ActionScript and Flex. The most recent ones include:

  • FWXHR (2010-07-26)

    Since Fireworks is used so heavily for web graphics production, it's quite likely that there'll be times when you developers out there would like your JSF commands to interact with a web service. Unlike a browser's JS environment, unfortunately, Fireworks doesn't offer any XmlHttpRequest functionality. Flash panels can make HTTP calls, but there hasn't been easy way to integrate Flash with JSF commands. Until now.

    This extension will be of interest only to developers of Fireworks extensions. more...

  • Translate Text (2010-07-23)

    When designing interfaces that will be localized, it's sometimes useful to do a quick translation to see how long the UI strings will be in other languages, so that you can ensure they'll fit within the layout. Although, it's nowhere near as good as a human translator, the Translate Text extension lets you quickly preview strings in another language using Google's translator API. more...

  • Commands (2010-07-19)

    The Commands panel provides quick access to your favorite Fireworks commands, panels, symbols, and auto shapes. While keyboard shortcuts are useful, you may not want to create a shortcut for every command you use frequently, and the Common Library and Shapes panels don't provide any shortcuts at all. With the Commands panel, you can create a set of toolbar buttons for your frequently used commands and assets so that they're always right at hand.
