ADOBE FIREWORKS CS3

Click the browse button in the upper right corner of the panel and browse to the symbol PNG file. This is saved 

in the <user settings>\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks 9\Common Library\Custom Symbols (Windows), or 
<user name>/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks9/Common Library/Custom Symbols (Macintosh) directory, 
by default.

Click the plus button to add an element name.

Add the name of the element that you want to customize. For example, type “label” into the Element Name field 

if you want to customize the text field named “label.”

In the Attribute field, select the name of the attribute you want to customize. For example, to customize the text 

in the label, select the textChars attribute, or to customize the fill color of an object, select the fillColor attribute.

In the Property Name field, type the name of the customizable property, for example, “Label” or “Number.” This 

is the property name that appears in the Symbol Properties panel.

In the Value field, type in a default value for the property. This will be the default value when an instance of the 

symbol is first placed into a document.

Add additional elements as needed.

Click Save to save the selected options and create a JavaScript file.

Select Reload from the Common Library panel Options menu to reload the new symbol.

After the JavaScript file has been created, you can create a new instance of the symbol by dragging it to the canvas, 
and then you can update its attributes by changing them in the Symbol Properties panel.

Select a symbol in the Library panel.

Select Save to Common Library from the Library panel Options menu.

Create a JavaScript file to control the symbol properties. 

When a symbol is saved as a rich symbol, a PNG file is saved by default in the <user settings>\Application 
Data\Adobe\Fireworks 9\Common Library\Custom Symbols folder (Windows), or <user name>/Application 
Support/Adobe/Fireworks9/Common Library/Custom Symbols (Macintosh).

To create a rich symbol, a JavaScript file must be created and saved with a .JSF extension in the same location and 
with the same name as the symbol. For example, mybutton.graphic.png would have a JavaScript file named 
mybutton.jsf.
