Some panels in Fireworks, such as the Align panel, are actually Flash SWF movies.

If you know JavaScript or ActionScript, you can create your own Fireworks panel by designing and coding it in Flash and exporting it as a SWF movie. If dropped into the Command Panels folder on your hard disk, the movie will appear as a panel in the Fireworks Window menu.

NOTE

The exact location of this folder varies from system to system and depends on whether you want the panel to be available just to your user profile or to all users. Command Panels folders are located in the Configuration folder in the Fireworks application folder and also in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For more information, see Working with configuration files.
