Sep 9 2007 - Adobe has released an update for Fireworks CS3. Actually, they did this a while back but I wanted to post the news here in case you missed it. This update improves 9-Slice Scaling, Alien Skin Eye Candy plug-in (doesn't include the plug-in) but now lets you use it with FW CS3, ActionScript CS3 support and several other improvements to help tie up loose ends.

The Demo Current Document Command for Fireworks CS3
Sep 9 2007 - Viktor Goltvyanitsa has created, what I think, is. a very useful command for Fireworks CS3. This command allows designers and developers to create what is essentially a Flash slideshow of pages built inside of Fireworks. The command creates all the files necessary to run the slideshow (ie. html, xml, javascript and swf files). Previous/Next, Play/Pause buttons are automatically created allows you (or someone else) to control the playback of the slideshow. (See my example below.) To learn more and/or download the extension visit: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/demo_current_document_command.html
(This screenshot shows the Demo Document Command in action.)

Adobe invested much into integrating several of its original applications with the ones it recently acquired from Macromedia in its CS3 Suite of products. Much of that focus went into making the workflow from Illustrator to Flash easier.
As a designer you're often faced with the task of creating a web or print layout that requires a harmonious or complimentary color combination. For most of us, choosing those right color combinations can be somewhat of a challenge- this is where Adobe® kuler steps in!
