Where are you trying to access this option? Frankly, it's not something I'm familiar with, but I notice that it's available in Fireworks CS5/6 from within the Export command dialog box, via a dropdown menu:

However, when I Google the topic, I do find reference to an "Export to FXG" script for CS4, that suggests it may have existed in Fireworks CS4 as a Command. And apparently, an update to that command was offered on Adobe Labs but is no longer available.

Thanks for the reply. I am in the Export menu. Unless I am blind, I do

not see the option. See below:

I am trying to save my company the $625 for a CS6 upgrade. So it would be

nice to figure this out. It looks like your menu is from a Mac! Am I

right?

In CS4, believe it was indeed a Command, located int he Commands menu, not the Export dialog. In CS5 and CS6, the option is (where it belongs) in the Export dialog. I can't rememebr if it was a standalone menu item, or nested in another menu item though.

Jim,

That was the answer but why did Acrobat put it there? Why could I not find an instruction telling me that? All rhetorical questions.

But now that I have the file created, Flash does not like it. Ho hum!!

I get the following error.

If you're using CS4, why not just import the Fireworks PNG file? I'm not too sure of Flash's support for FXG. I know at the time Flash Catalyst supported it, but not sure about Flash Pro.

My image will eventually be a custom detailed map and I want to be able to zoom and keep sharp lines. Does PNG retain the vector format?

Hmm, good question. I *think* vector information is retained, but there can be issues with effects. I recommend giving it a try and you'll learn quickly enough.

I think it will work although when you set the radio buttons to keep the paths editable they really aren't. But I tried it and I think I can proceed now. Just have to come up with a zoom subroutine.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. The radio buttons may have come in as symbols or groups, so check that.
