Yes. Put all the images on separate frames within the same slice. Right
click on the slice and choose Export Selected Slice. In the export
dialog box, browse to the location of the assets folder of the site you
have defined in Dreamweaver. Choose a file name, for Export choose
Images only, for slices choose Export Slices, check Selected slices
only, and uncheck Current fame only. Click on Export. Zap! All of the
images are deposited in your site assets folder. Now if you want to make
rollovers with the images (fairly unusual for a header, I must say) You
can do it in a proper HTML editor instead of in an image editor.

2. Re: Multiple Slice States
ChristianDay Sep 17, 2007 12:24 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)Oh that's just wonderful, thank you. I've been terrified of the transition and trying to turn Photoshop files into Fireworks Files that only use elements brought from in Photoshop. There's a LOT of work involved in this as Fireworks doesn't seem to allow masks on layer groups. I hope Adobe fixes this in an update because I'd love to be able to more easily convert my workflow.
Thanks again!
