Hi, I am new to using Fireworks MX2004 and Dreamweaver MX2004 together and I have a basic Javascript/Fireworks question:
I am making a website in Dreamweaver that uses templates AND drop-down menus... now, I've read that in Dreamweaver (at least Dreamweaver 4) the mm_menus.js Javascript doesn't work with templates, but you can circumvent that by making drop-downs in Fireworks which are supposed to use this "new" fw_menus.js Javascript that works in Dreamweaver templates... but, it doesn't seem to be doing that. The file it generates is the mm, not the fw... and thus, the dropdowns don't link... am I doing something wrong? I'm following the Macromedia directions to the letter.
Help?

So I found this eventually on the Macromedia site (is their site slow or what?... and where are the forums?)...

What does it mean by:
"All pages made from this template must be in the same folder as the original page. This should maintain the paths."
I am doing a very large site, with a good amount of subfolders and files... does this mean that I cannot organize these files this way? Then what the heck good is the function? You can create pop-up menus, but not in templates... two things that intuitively you would assume they would make sure worked together before they released MX, no?
