If you are using Fireworks MX to create your cast members for Director MX, your job is now much easier. If you haven't been using Fireworks MX, now is the time. The Fireworks Import Xtra for Director MX adds options in Fireworks for exporting your layers, slices, and rollovers as fully functional cast members that can then be easily inserted into Director. Rollover behaviors from Fireworks MX are converted to Lingo, and layers are converted to individual cast members.
