Copy paste between Fireworks and Flash

I often batch import layered files (PSD, PNG) into Flash or even copy graphics into it. But what I DO find really handy is copying text between the apps. This worked in CS3 but it’s gotten better (more accurate) in CS4. You can copy a whole group in and the font, size, and color are all maintained (or close enough, you usually have to nudge line height). This saves tons of time when you’re populating a whole FLA from a text heavy design while keeping the text editable for the inevitable copy change. Notice in this video how I can bring in multiple text boxes at a time.

Create a Simple Navigation with a Horizontal Subnav

Horizontal Menu

Would you like to create a Simple Navigation with a Horizontal Subnav? It looks very similar to the Menu of Behance Network, which looks nice and professional.

We can achieve this effect purely with CSS, but since we have to attend to our red headed step child aka IE6, we will use a few lines of jQuery to cover all grounds. Nice and simple! I am sure this will come in handy in your future projects.
