Chapter 3. The Design Notes API

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, Macromedia Fireworks, and Macromedia Flash give web designers and developers a way to store and retrieve extra information about documents information such as review comments, change notes, or the source file for a GIF or JPEG in files that are called Design Notes.

MMNotes is a C shared library that lets extensions authors read and write Design Notes files. As with the DWfile shared library, MMNotes has a JavaScript API that lets you call the functions in the library from objects, commands, behaviors, floating panels, Property inspectors, and data translators.

MMNotes also has a C API that lets other applications read and write Design Notes files. The MMNotes shared library can be used independently, even if Dreamweaver is not installed.

For more information about using the Design Notes feature from within Dreamweaver, see Using Dreamweaver.
