This version of Fireworks introduces new and enhanced symbol features. Create graphic symbols that can be intel-
ligently scaled and given specific attributes using a JavaScript (JSF) file. Quickly mock up a user interface by dragging 
these symbols on to the document and editing the parameters associated with them using the new Symbol Properties 
panel.

For more information, see “Creating and using rich graphic symbols” on page 190.

Traditionally, when you apply scale transformations to symbols, the entire object is transformed as a single unit. 
With certain kinds of objects, especially geometric shapes with styled corners, the result is a symbol that appears 
somewhat distorted. 

Fireworks CS3 introduces a dynamic new feature called 9-slice scaling, which allows you to intelligently scale vector 
or bitmap symbols. By positioning a set of guides over your artwork, you can define exactly how each part of a 
symbol is scaled. Any of nine different regions can be specified to scale only horizontally, scale only vertically, scale 
both horizontally and vertically, or to not scale at all. The feature, which is on by default, can also be set to scale just 
three regions. When combined with the new Auto Shape library, 9-slice scaling makes it faster than ever before to 
prototype websites and applications. 

For more information, see “Using 9-slice scaling” on page 188.

Symbol Properties panel

This new panel is a central location where you can control the properties for 
intelligent graphic symbols.

Enhanced graphic symbol

An enhancement to the graphic symbol allows the creation of customizable 
symbol properties using JavaScript.

Symbol library

A pre-designed library of graphic symbols that utilize the new functionality has 
been included in this software release. These can be customized to accommo-
date the look and feel of a particular website or user interface.

Swap symbols

A new “swap symbol” feature allows you to easily swap symbols as you are 
designing your document.

New 9-slice scaling tool

Enable the 9-slice scaling feature to scale vector and bitmap symbols up or 
down without distorting their geometry. The symbol can be scaled using 3 or 
9 regions, based on the shape of the symbol.
