I’m following the Tutorial in the Freeway Guide, and I’ve encountered what seems to me to be an error in sec1:38 (page 80 of 120), as reproduced here:
“Change to the General tab of the Inspector, then click and drag the item close to the top right-hand corner of the header bar and watch the X and Y values change (remember these are called Left Inset and Top Inset in Pro) in the Inspector. The item needs to have values of 590px for X and 16px for Y. You can click and drag it into position by watching the values change, or you can place it approximately and use your arrow keys to nudge it to the correct position one pixel at a time.”
The only way the figures of 590 and 16 can be correct, it seems to me, is if they refer to inset from bottom and inset from right, rather than x (inset from left) and y (inset from top). With 590 and 16 entered as inset from bottom and inset from right, and with the graphic item (logo) nicely positioned on the right side of the header bar graphic, the x and y figures for the graphic item are 438 and 14.
Can anyone confirm that the numbers given refer to inset from bottom and inset from right rather than x and y? Or am I, somehow, in error?
Many thanks, and looking forward to much patient assistance from you all as I learn how to build a simple site with FW 5.
I think you’ve got the insets backwards in your mind. I’m not quite
sure how well sending images works on the newsgroup, so I’m going to
send you a personal mail from Support, and explain it to you with some
screenshots to demonstrate.
