I think the best thing for you to do is...
Go into Dreamweaver, do Insert > Table . Create a table that is 4 rows and 4 columns (just a placed to start) maybe 700 pixes wide with 0 cellpadding, 0 spacing, and 0 border.
Now, figure out how to lay out your Fireworks page inside that table. You will have to add rows and columns as you go, or merge them to get the layout right. You may have to split your graphics into two or more pieces and put them into neighboring cells. BUT, if you can figure this out, you will be able to create a layout that will work much better than the one Fireworks will create.
As for the fancy stuff...pop-ups, rollovers, etc., they are easy enough to do, but beginners rely too much on them and the design suffers. Besides that, I would suggest staying away from pop-ups all together...a lot of users will have them blocked anyway. Learn the basics of layout and design using Dreamweaver... you will come to understand the code that is involved and will be able to code by hand when you need to.
Oh, and by the way, when you get comfortable with tables, start learning CSS, so you won't have to rely on tables and spacers.
