Question

Time to move on from Fireworks

I've been using Fireworks since the Macromedia Studio 8 days - mostly for simple button type sidebars. Fireworks CS6 finally quit letting me use it, saying I now need a serial pass code, which I don't have and understand that even those that do are on borrowed time. So, it's time to move away from my old favorite. Snif, snif ...

 

So, researching a best replacement candidate pushes me towards Adobe XD - never used it - and I understand its on the chopping block !. Having the press, hover, and unpressed state GIF's for my present sidebar, is there a way to simply use them in this or another program and make things work ? It's been 20+ years since I've done any of this !

    Hello, you might have guessed you were going to hear this but, I'd recommend moving to Figma though, as you know, you can find many beginner friendly tutorials for it on YouTube, like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Up_WyjrV7U Hope this helps!
