Adobe Fireworks Extensions from johndunning.com/fireworks http://johndunning.com/fireworks These Adobe Fireworks extensions are mainly productivity enhancement tools. They won't help you make better-looking pictures; rather, they'll help you use Fireworks more efficiently. And if you're an extension developer yourself, some of them will help you build your own commands and Flash panels. Download them all for free!

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...

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...

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.

Then use the Scale tool to freely resize the rectangle, or use the Info panel to change the size numerically. Finally, run the Fix Rounded Rect Corners command to fix the corner distortion introduced by the Scale tool. more...

These commands let you nudge the selection by custom amounts, rather than just 1 or 10 pixels. You can even nudge elements by less than a whole pixel, like .25, in order to tweak an element's anti-aliasing. more...

And other actions, like hiding a layer on every frame, aren't supported at all by Fireworks' built-in tools. The scripts in this extension are intended to remedy this situation. They've been updated to support the layer changes in Fireworks CS3. more...

If you have a complicated document and want to export individual elements from it, using slices often doesn't work. The elements you want to export may overlap, or you may want to prevent the background pixels from appearing in the exported images. Your only choice is to either hide every other element and then export the document, or else copy each element to its own document, and then export that. The Export Selection commands make this process much more convenient. more...

The Fireworks Console simplifies the process of learning the JavaScript API considerably. Instead of writing and running an entire command, you can simply type code snippets into a panel and immediately see the output. It's a little like having a command line prompt for Fireworks. You can also use the console to debug your own .jsf commands and Flash panels.

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

Using multiple pages, the favicon can also include a 32px or 64px version of the icon. From Fireworks CS5 onwards, the command now works on both Windows and Mac. more...

This makes it easy to quickly resize a mock up of a dialog box, for instance. Just drag the shape's yellow handles to move the grouped elements around to match the shape's size. See the screencast for an example of how the auto shape works. more...

It even copies the objects on locked layers, without affecting their locked state. "Copy Merged into New Document" does the same thing but pastes the flattened image into a new document. "Copy Merged into Selection" copies the merged pixels into the selected objects while respecting their alpha channels. more...

The "Distribute Frames to Pages" command moves the content from each frame in a document to a new page. The "Import Files into Pages" command is useful for combining several existing files as pages in a new document. The "Apply Export Settings to All Pages" command takes the export settings on the current page and applies them to all pages in the document. more...

If you want to make the fill color of an element darker, you can select it, open the Mixer panel, switch to HSB mode, and then drag the brightness slider. But what if you have two differently colored elements and want to make them both slightly darker? You can't use the Mixer panel because it will set both elements to the same color. The Adjustments panel makes this and other tasks easier. more...

This extension makes it easy to resize selected elements in any direction using just the keyboard, which can be much more convenient than dragging the Scale tool with the mouse. And unlike the Scale tool, text blocks are resized without being distorted. more...
