Where’d those Fireworks Extensions go? Jul 06. 052
People (Alan) keep asking where all my Macromedia Fireworks Extensions vanished to. Well, they were victims of my re-design. However plans are afoot to bring them back. In the meantime I’ve linked them all in here for your enjoyment.
- Auto Save (AutoSave.mxp)
- Calculator (Calculator.mxp)
- Duplicate Offset & Rotate (DOR_1_1.mxp)
- Filler Text (FillerText.mxp)
- Insert Browser Cursor (InsertBrowserCursor.mxp)
- Main Toolbar (Main Toolbar.mxp Toolbar.mxp)
- New from Template (NewFromTemplate.mxp)
Right now I don’t have any plans to develop further Fireworks Extensions, most of my free time is consumed by a mad toddler right now. ;)
