    It's not possible, AFAIK. Programmes such as Fireworks produce images. Images and text are two different entities. You should use <h> tags etc for whatever words you want to be picked up and then use CSS to fire them off the screen if appropriate.

    For example, the below code will move the header "Your Text" off the screen by 9999px but will still be read by crawlers.
    <h1>Your text</h1>

    h1{position:absolute; top:-9999px}

    The only thing close to what you are doing is to make use of the image's alt & title attributes.

    <img src="whatever.gif" alt="The text that you want" title="The text that you want">
