EXTENDING FIREWORKS: DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE WORKFLOW USING JAVASCRIPT AND FLASH
Where is the command stored?
Fireworks commands that are saved from the History panel are stored in your user profile folder.
These commands will be available only to you when logged in and not to other users. Commands can
be copied to a common location so that they are available to all accounts if you are using a shared
machine or if you log in with different accounts. Unlike command panels, when commands are added,
Fireworks does not have to be restarted to recognize them. You can add new commands to either
your user profile folder or the common folder at any time while Fireworks is running, and those com-
mands will be available immediately via the
Commands menu. The following details the location of the
Commands and Command Panels folders on Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X.
Commands vs. command panels
Commands can either be pure JSF or SWF based. When executed, the command is run modally, mean-
ing it has focus in the application for its entire life cycle. You cannot interact with anything else while
the command is running. SWF- based commands are authored in the same way as command panels,
but they cannot be persisted in Fireworks. Use commands for wizard- like operations.
Command panels use JSF to talk to Fireworks but must be SWF based. Command panels can be per-
sisted in the UI and docked with other panels just like native Fireworks panels.
Note: There are some slight authoring differences between SWF- based commands and command
panels not covered in this chapter.
