Blend modes do not display properly within a symbol
Issue
After a user adds blend modes such as Screen, Multiply, and Fuzzy Light to objects within a symbol, Macromedia Fireworks 8 does not retain the blends properly on the canvas after exiting the Symbol Editor. This happens whether the objects are bitmaps or vectors.
Reason
The engineers are aware of the issue and are currently researching ways to fix the problem.
Solution
Typically, advanced Fireworks developers will run into this issue. Instead of using symbols to organize objects with blend modes, group the objects together (Modify > Group). Plan on using the keyboard shortcuts to group and ungroup objects for faster production.
- Group (cmd/ctrl-g)
- Ungroup (cmd/ctrl+shift-g)
