Problem with slicing tutorial

[talpa]

Hi there,

I tried to follow the slicing tutorial that you can find here.

I imported the .gif with the car, created the rectangles and made them semitransparent. Then the tutorial says that I should name the several slices (=rectangles).

Therefore I selected one of the rectangels with the Selector tool (arrow) but the icon to name slices (on the far right end of the Selector tool infobar) is not selectable (it is shown in light grey).

What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hello Availor,

Thanks for the quick reply! I watched your video and I really like your way of e-learning! Now I know what to do. The tutorial that I mentioned in my first post seems to be very brief.

I'm living in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).

The extension "am Main" describes that "my" Frankfurt is located at the river called "Main" because there is a second Frankfurt in the east of Germany next to the border of Poland.

I tried to watch this video, but Quicktime says I am missing a component and sends me to a page with many plugins on it. Any idea which plugin I would need?

It's a simple avi file you can open it with default windows media player or any other program like winamp.

Thank you, the tutorial reminded me that I have to select everything in order to export slices.

I have seen several people mention that they can export one slice, I have not found how to do that, I always end up with a white rectangle!?

I am used to Fireworks, where the slicing is much more intuitive.
