[thelist] image ready 2/3

[Chris Williams]

Why in God's earth would you have need for 70 layers? If you are compositing
for animation or video, maybe a few, but not for the web. A slice *only*
slices *one* piece of the image.  If you are talking about substituting your
rollover and javascript for different pages, then you will have to use your
template, open it up in dreamweaver, have fireworks open, go thru and rename
or relink your new links for each page in fireworks, export to dreamweaver,
and save the file with a new name.  Seventy times.  An easier way is to use
server side includes.

but how do I get my new comp (with it's 70+ layers) into this template?
Seems like it ought to be easier to export the slices, but I'm looking
for any kind of solution at this point.
Actually if I could convert the slices into an image map, I have a perl
script that will convert that back into slices (in a new or existing
file -- it just creates an action that you can run in IR/PSP)
I lose my compression info, but its a start.

anyhow, thanks,
Sam
