Editing Director cast members in Fireworks

Using launch-and-edit integration, you can make changes to Director cast members by starting Fireworks and editing them from inside Director. You can also start Fireworks from inside Director to optimize cast members.

To start Fireworks and edit a Director cast member:

1. In Director, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the graphic in the Cast window.
2. Select Launch External Editor from the context menu.

   Note: If Fireworks does not start as your external image editor, select Edit > Preferences > Editors in Director, and set Fireworks as the external editor for bitmap graphic file types. (If you are using a Macintosh OS X operating system, select the Director menu, instead of the Edit menu, to access Preferences.)

   The file opens in Fireworks, and the document window indicates that you are editing a file from Director.

   
   
   

3. Make changes to the image, and click Done when you finish.

   Fireworks exports the new graphic to Director.
