I'm not sure I understand your question, or at least your objective?   The original point in the thread was to be able to open native Fireworks files while preserving their integrity and construction structure. The most common solution is to use Photopea, which bridges the gap between PNG (Macromedia style) and PSD.   The question then turned to the possibility of opening FW image files containing States, hence the previous answer since Photopea is a graphics tool... but now the debate turns to specific animation tools, which generally don't open the structure of image files themselves, but import them using flattened PNG versions, rather than working files. The exception being animated GIF formats, where each image is imported in succession on the TimeLine, which is not the case for States.   Anyway, here again, the easiest thing to do is to try it out and see if it meets your expectations... sorry, I don't have Flash or Animate handy anymore 😉 ...

Short answer : yes and no... Photopea doesn't exactly interpret states the way FW does, and converts them into layers, but the animation remains accessible and still adaptable. Consistent answer : Why don't you try it yourself... it's free, it's open, and there's nothing to install... https://www.photopea.com/, so you can test and understand for yourself whether you're getting what you want. ...

I understand what some people are saying when they warn us about Fw's administrative obsolescence, and point to alternatives. I also applaud Ivan Kuckir's remarkable work in making it possible with Photopea to virtually reopen native Fw files while preserving their internal structure.   However, I also realize to what extent people who have never used Fw * don't understand the power of this tool, its simplicity of use, its ergonomics, its extensibility and the catalog of extensions always available (which, by the way, no software can really rival today). ... and the icing on the cake is that today, even though there have been no updates for over 10 years **... despite intensive, daily use, Fw continues to satisfy the needs of thousands of users, smoothly, without latency, and with as much simplicity as ever.   @IAMark 's approach is completely understandable, to enable current Fw users to continue using it, and if new OS no longer allow Fw to be launched, don't worry, we're in the middle of the virtualization era, and processors are increasingly designed to integrate this type of approach, so there will always be a virtual machine that allows an old system to launch Fw.   Adobe, please read this exchange... thank you.   * By this I mean, a real use of Fw in an intensive and thorough manner, therefore producing with it starting from the model to the interface elements through customer validation tests and batch processing, whynot have been part of the user community and having regularly discussed the needs of website and application developers, both with Macromedia, Adobe and third-party developers. In short, having actually used Fw for real and often complex needs.   ** Let's stop at 10 years, but ask ourselves how long Fw's updates have been cosmetic. So how long has the core of this tool been updated? 15 years?... and it still runs, it reminds me of my Mustang 68 convertible... which remained in the United States when I returned to France (for the same reasons....)   *** Don't look, there's no 3-star rating reference,... as @rayek.elfin I just wanted to mention a piece of software in this thread, since for him too we could say the same things...

I agree with you... it's been a long time since I visited the w3schools site... I had a distant memory of it, so I've just rediscovered the page from which @Sicarii Origin drew his (her ?) inspiration https://www.w3schools.com/Js/js_classes.asp ...    it's true that there's no unorganized framing of the concepts themselves, which could at least have room for instantiation, encapsulation, inheritance with a word on the notion of prototype which often leads to confusion, polymorphism... in short... nothing...   just a series of keywords on the left (which are not linked to each other... and are not helfull for newbies)... no trace of private, public or protected definitions...   so I can only advise @Sicarii Origin , if (s)he reads this message, to go (no pun intended) to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/Object-oriented_programming  and also to this tutorial example, which isn't bad once one've mastered the basic syntax, https://javascript.info/private-protected-properties-methods  (the entire tutorial is pretty good too).   the next step, in my opinion, would be to read books by Axel Raushmayer, Addy Osmani, Douglas Crocford, Nicholas Zakas... well... in short, the list is long of what I'd like to recommend... ...

I don't think the question is about the developer's level of advancement, at least in the sense of expertise, but in the sense of his level of learning. Learning object-oriented programming is a journey that at first remains vague and complex, although once acquired sometimes still remains vague... hence the need for popularization sites that are really superficial  and why not the use W3 schools for that purpose ;). ...

The bigger question is I don't know why you are using the very verbose 'class constructor' method when you could just use a simple function( see below code example). By @osgood_   it all depends on how @Sicarii Origin wants to inherit a secondary class, or benefit from the instantiation phase ? ... View more

@--rick_D , I'm probably a simpleton and didn't understand your initial question, nor its context. well, I don't have a Mac handy, apart from MVs, but under W10, I empty all the sites from the file panel (which is therefore empty, like new out of the box), I create a file on a Synology server at the root of a buried folder... an empty file containing absolutely nothing, I name it haphazardly index (2).php ... (using spaces and parentheses)... I right-click (equivalent to ctrl-click on Mac) and choose to open with DW... and hop... magical, DW launches and the file opens... files that weren't closed the last time DW was quit, also reopen... so in my opinion, and if my introductory sentence is wrong... it's a bug on the Mac, either in the system or in the application (La palisse) ...

unlike the subject and people we're talking about, DW isn't the center of anything... it used to be when it was the flagship of the fleet around it, but that hasn't been the case for several years now. all the people I mentioned in the first comment were just a tiny fraction of the people involved in shaping the web so that it could truly become the web application that makes us today work, live and thrive.   so not mentioning other equally worthy members, yes for me, would have been a real lack of respect, and not necessarily waiting for them to leave us before having to mention them. as I say, I may probably be too French, and even too regional from the lowlands where I live, that would have been impolite. ...

as tell you @Jon Fritz first place to check is your web hotel, to see if they propose such form processing script. then, in order to help you step by step, implementing a search engine on your site first requires a few points of clarification: what information do you want to search for, and in what scope? The web or just your site? If it's the web, all existing search engines offer an API to meet your needs. (here is one exemple above many) https://pypi.org/project/duckduckgo-search/  https://github.com/topics/duckduckgo-api https://github.com/duckduckgo If it's about just your site, these APIs can also help you, but sometimes it's not necessary to resort to such a cavalry : It all depends on what you want to search for... and where this information is located: database, metadata associated with pages, textual content in the pages themselves, and in what form they are: text, binary data, structures... etc.... then do you have a thesaurus (https://www.thesaurus.com/) or controlled dictionaries you can draw on... there is an old article on Puce et Média that is interesting to catch the idea behing words and architecture... https://www-puce--et--media-com.translate.goog/taxonomie-thesaurus-et-vocabulaire-controle/?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp do you need a spell or syntax checker to compensate for input problems... will searches be multilingual... or does your site offer only one version? and so on depending on your needs   In short, as you can see, it's not possible to propose any ideas without clarifying what you want to put in place. ...

what you say makes sense, and makes me think that for some reason, here at the studio, we're all working locally through Synology.

bonjour,   si bien sur que vous pouvez automatiquement rerouter les requetes HTTP sollicitées par vos utilisateurs vers du HTTPs... cela ce fait au travers d'un fichier .htaccess tout est détaillé dans le premier article vers lequel je vous avais orienté https://www.puce-et-media.com/migrer-son-site-de-http-vers-https/   ensuite dans le second lien que je vous ai donné, https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/fr-web-hosting-ssl-certificates?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0053177 vous trouverez le pas à pas pour installer, activer et paramétrer un certificat chez OVH. ce n'est pas nécessairement payant, Let'Sencrypt est intégralement pris en compte chez OVH et est gratuit. beaucoup vous dirons que les certifcats gratuits ne sont pas intéressant et qu'il vaut mieux passer par des certificats payants.
