Very exciting news for Fireworks fans, Adobe have made an official statement in the Adobe forums which suggests we’ll see another version yet.
Fireworks continues to be an important product to the combined Macromedia/Adobe portfolio and is actively under product development for a yet-to-be announced product release. I’m incredibly excited to lead that front as the Product Manager.
If you’re interested in participating in the beta cycle then add your name to the list. :)
Trevor McCauley has written a fantastic little (actually it’s 10 pages) tutorial on creating advanced custom Fireworks Panels using Flash.
It’s well worth a read, includes tutorial and sample files and covers;
- Advanced panel development
- Interface design
- Exchange of information between a custom panel and Fireworks
- Taking advantage of Fireworks events
Nice work Trevor. :)
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.
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. ;)
