Create and use component symbols

Component symbols are graphic symbols that can be intelligently scaled and given specific attributes using a JavaScript (JSF) file. Modifying an instance with the Properties panel affects the symbol and all other instances. However, modifying parameters in the Symbol Properties panel (Window > Symbol Properties) affects only the selected instance.

Fireworks includes a library of predesigned component symbols; you can customize these symbols to match the appearance of a particular website or user interface.
