Create a working folder

Before you begin, create a working folder that includes the sample files used in the tutorials in Getting Started. This task consists of creating the working folder on your hard disk and copying the sample files from the Fireworks application folder to the working folder.

1. Create a new folder called local_sites somewhere on your hard disk. For example, create a folder called local_sites in either of the following locations:
   • (Windows) C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\ My Documents\local_sites
   • (Macintosh) /Users/your_user_name/Documents/local_sites

   On the Macintosh, there's a folder called Sites already in your user folder. Don't use that Sites folder as your local folder; the Sites folder is where you place your pages to make them publicly accessible when you're using the Macintosh as a web server.

2. Locate the cafe_townsend and global folders in the Fireworks application folder on your hard disk. If you installed Fireworks to its default location, the path to the folders is as follows:
   • (Windows) C:\Program Files\Adobe\ Fireworks 8\Tutorial_assets\
   • (Macintosh) /Applications/Adobe FireWorks/Tutorial_assets/
3. Copy the cafe_townsend and global folders to your local_sites folder.
