Export fireworks files to the Dreamweaver library

Dreamweaver

The Dreamweaver Library project is located in the assets panel of Dreamweaver, as shown in Figure 14, which is part of the HTML file in a folder named "Library" on the root site. Library projects simplify the process of editing and updating common web site components, such as corporate identities or navigation bars that appear on each page of a site. You can drag a copy from the library to any page in the Web site, but you can edit only the main library items, not the library items directly in the Dreamweaver document. You can then let Dreamweaver update each copy of the master library item when it is placed throughout the site. Similar to fireworks components, changes made to library documents in Dreamweaver are reflected in all library instances throughout the site.

If you want to export the fireworks file to the Dreamweaver library, select the "Export" option under the "File" menu, select "Dreamweaver Library" from the Save Type Drop-down list, and a dialog box like Figure 15 pops up. Prompts to create a library folder.

Click on the "OK" button, the Selection Folder dialog box appears, select the Library folder where the file is located, as shown in Figure 16. Select "Open" and return to the "Export" dialog box to name the library file, and if the image contains slices, we can also select the slice option. Select put images in subfolder (place the image in a subfolder) to select a separate folder to save the image. Finally, click Save. As shown in Figure 17.
