Creating an Instance of the Menu Button

When you use Library elements in your image you are actually creating instances of them that can be modified without affecting the original in the Library. If you change the object in the Library all instances of it will also be changed.

  1. Click and drag the Menu button from the Library window onto your GIZMO screen.
    Don't worry about the green rectangle and red lines that appear.
  2. Position the Menu button instance so it's bottom edge is just touching the Screen Divider.

  3. Choose File > Save.
  4. Choose File > Preveiw in Browser > Preview in iexplorer.exe.
    You can only see the effects of buttons live in a browser. Move your cursor over the Menu button in the browser window.

    You have just created an interactive button in Fireworks that can now be used to trigger a pop-up menu.
