"Macromedia Fireworks?"

Anyone use this?
Good with it?

I started using it a few weeks ago to make some banners and logos for web design. Yesterday I tried some animated stuff and they looked ok (just basic stuff) but when I try to use the images (saved as Gifs and png's) neither of them appear animated, just a still image.

Anyone know why this is? Am I doing something wrong?

Also is there anyone around who has been using it for a while and would be around to give help and advice?
Thanks

Fireworks is fantastic hen you get the hang of it, and use it to it's full potential.

... gif + Png are still.

cept animated gifs.

if your using flash save it as .swf for exports.

Cheers. I was just exporting them as gifs as there was no selection for animated gifs under export.
Have to go to export preview to get that which seemed a little odd but thanks anyway.

Read the Turtorials, and then you will soon be adding slices, popup menus and making full use of your copy of Fireworks.

Mmm you need to select "Animated GIF".

When you save it, go the to "Export Preview" window or something to that effect, and select the "Save as" file as an "animated gif".

It's too expensive.
