Offsetting this criticism somewhat are the new effects that can be added to text and graphic boxes without the need to use Actions. The Photo Frame Action, for example, merely adds a bevel effect to an image, which isn't nearly as exciting as the 3D frames offered by the likes of Pages and PowerPoint. Being able to adjust the gamma, mirror or flip images, and apply fade effects are all obvious timesavers.īut compared with the photorealistic effects available in other applications, some of the graphical Actions in Freeway Pro are looking a bit rusty. At their best, Actions make it easy to alter images without the need to edit them in a graphics program.īecause the original artwork is left untouched, you're free to play around with the image as much as you want.

The Graphics Actions are a mixed bag in terms of usefulness. These are much faster than JavaScript-based menus, and have the advantage of working on browsers that don't support JavaScript or have had JavaScript turned off. Actions that create navigation menus and bars will be familiar to long-time Freeway Pro users, but version 5 sees CSS-based menus added to the mix. To set up a rollover, for example, you open the Actions window, configure the relevant settings and off you go.īut other Actions work at the design end of things, as is the case with the very useful Navigation and Graphic Action sets.

Often, these Actions take the hard work out of crafting the code that needs to be attached to the page once it's exported. You also have the option of producing code that is more compatible with Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.īut because Freeway Pro doesn't edit HTML directly, it isn't an attractive tool for web designers who need to manage existing sites or work cooperatively with others.Ĭentral to the way Freeway Pro works are Actions - commands that add features and effects to web pages.

But Freeway Pro 5 does appear to produce web pages that consistently pass the W3C Markup Validation Service.
