"Fireworks question"

In fireworks you can fill a box with a linear fade.

Does anyone know how to make one of the end colours on the fade transparent?

You should still save the file as both a png and a gif. Use the gif for your web site and keep the png if you need to edit the picture.

That's much better, the file size is down by about 16k on each button :D definatly worth doing.

cool, thanks, nice one sonny, i'll try that. :)

You can do this in fireworks. Just go to

file>export preview

When you export it, it will be a gif.

You are using fireworks aren't you?

What programme can I use to change the images from .png to .gif? thankyou.

One more thing, how do you create this fade on an image?

:D

This is agreat programme, I need to know how to use it though, so I guess i'll use the rest of tonight to work on it, any other hints of genius would be gratefully recieved though :)

Top banana, mate! Cheers!

Do I need any programmes to run/edit this? it says when you've finished your fireworks thing export it to Dreamweaver or another HTML editing programme, do you need this? I thought you'd be able to make it a .gif file and load it staright onto your website.

Voila. Just tried it and it works perfectly, but does convert your vecotrs to bitmap graphics.
