How do I keep embedded hotspots like in Dreamweaver?

I have a png file that is the menu bar at the top of the page that was
designed in Fireworks. This is from a template web site. In fireworks I
set all of my hotspots but without the links.

What do I do next if I want to get the image into FP and I want to
retain the hotspots so that I can give them links in FP? Right now it
appears that I would have to export the image as a gif (loosing the
hotspots), import it into FP, redraw the hotspots, and then attach the
links.

Thanx, Dave.

Dave:

Hotspots are NOT part of an image, which contains only bitmapped pixels.
They are defined in the HTML code that you export from Fireworks. You could
also just copy that code and paste it into your FP page, but make sure that
you don't duplicate the <html>, <head>, or <body> tags when you do.

can't you put in the links/hotspots in Fireworks then export as html pages?

hotspots are created by defining dimensions - an area of the image so-many pixels
in from left margin and so-many pixels down from top margin, and then a width and
height factor.

it is defined between two tags like <map> and </map>

Right - those tags are part of the exported HTML, not embedded somehow in
the image. To get them into FP you would have to include the associated
HTML as well.
