I only just read the post about what we should include.

I'm using DW MX. and PHP/MYSQL and editing with Fireworks from inside DW.



i;m pretty new to Fireworks and so far self taught. I was doing ok and figuring out step by step what to do, but I've come up against a brick wall. You can see what happens if you click on the first pigeon at www.joekilroy.co.uk
Im gave it a Swap Image behaviour, and the box comes up where it's supposed to, but there's no image. What I did originally was import the image into Fireworks and change it's alpha properties, so when the first pigeon (a button also linking to a page) was rolled over, it would bring up the big image in the slice below. But when I tried to save this image in Fireworks by cutting and pasting it into a New File, it lost all the alpha properties.. Anyway, ive since tried Opening the File from photoshop, saving it in every format unde the sun, and it still won't show up on my page. I'm not a technical type, but usually I can figure something out if i stick with it long enough, but here i feel im stuck and going around in cirlces and getting nowhere. You probably hear this a lot, but i appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks, Joe.

I treid it using Firefox 1.5.0.9 on 20 Dec and the pigeons produced different images inside the frame. It might be the browser that you are using. In general I work in Firefox all the time and test in Opera and IE. I also check out Safari, IE and Firefox on Mac too.

There's nothing to indicate that the pigeons are hot-spots, or the other things on that page, so your visitors might not find them. I know that when I visit sites I'm not really looking for puzzles just answers or information and I expect it to jump off the page at me <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
