Howdy all,

I am relatively new to Fireworks (I have MX). I am using it to slice an image into little tiles - 6 rows, 5 columns. The original file was 700 x 846 pixels. By slicing it into a 5 x 6 grid each tile is 140 x 141 pixels.

Then I am running a script (created in FW) to take each tile and scale it by 25% and rename it.

Then in Flash I am putting the image back together by creating an empty MC for each tile and loading them in. I then have to scale each tile (\_xscale \* 4) to get it back to the original image size. However, there seems to be lines of space between each ROW (note, not column) of tiles. When I open up the scaled tile in FW and look at it’s size it says it is 35 x 35. However, 140/4 = 35 and 141/35 is 35.25. So each scaled tile SHOULD be 35.25.

My question is - does FW drop the decimal? Or just not display it when I check on image size? Because there is space in between rows it seems like each tile is just a little too short - making me suspect that the .25 is being dropped from the height of the tile.

So is there any way to prevent this in FW (a setting or preference I have to set?) or do I have to go into Photoshop and make each tile the height I want? 30 tiles - that’s a pain! And I may be using this process again in the future.

Thanks for any advice! :love:
