Extending Fireworks

Extending Fireworks has never been easier. Fireworks offers a variety of different ways you can create custom commands that enhance its capabilities.

With the Extension Manager, you can install and manage extensions that augment the functionality of Fireworks. Or you can write custom JavaScript code and use it as a custom command in Fireworks. You can also use Flash SWF movies as custom commands in Fireworks. You can paste color values directly from Flash actionscript into Fireworks color boxes. In addition, the Fireworks History panel provides an easy-to-use interface that allows you to create custom commands from a series of recorded tasks.

After you install an extension or create a custom command, Fireworks places it in the Commands menu.
