Component Panel ( Design mode) loosing custom components

Wonder if anyone else encounter this phenomenon?
After placing custom Flash components ( compiled intoa SWC
file) in the project's <Libs> directory, they are available
and working in Source mode, but you can't see them in the custom
Folder (In the Design Mode). Only after closing and opening the
project they appear.
However, they keep disappearing ( randomly) from the folder,
and only after Open/Close project they reappear. Other custom
components such as MXML modules behave ok.
As far as the application these components work fine and are
recognized by the compiler.
I'm using Stand Alone, FB3 version 1201207; on WXP Sp2.
( Reported this as a bug
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11554
Did anyone else experienced this (similar) behavior ?

Same problem here. Except I have even less luck getting it to
consistently appear than you. Sometimes it works great, other times
they vanish and nothing I can do to get them to return. MXML
modules seem fine.. it's just with the Flash SWC files. Plus
sometimes I have no visual indication in design view of the Flash
module on my canvas, and other times it displays. (This is with no
changes to the SWC file at all). But it always runs okay.

  • Invalid Token while viewing Slide Show Component in Design Mode

    Hi Guys,
    I am having an issue where my SWF files that appear in a slide show component are displaying an invalid token error while in design mode in Xcelsius.  When I export the SWF file to Infoview, this error flashes on the screen for a second before the logon token is passed and the child SWF is loaded.
    I am trying to find a way to solve my issue so the invalid token error message does not appear and therefore does not get flashed to the user before the file actually loads.
    I downloaded Fix Pack 1 for SP3 because there was a line in the fixed issues detailing:
    "An Invalid logon token message appeared in Infoview when you viewed Flash objects (SWF files) that contain a QaaWS or Live Office connection."
    "This issue has been resolved".
    It is still happening even with FP 1 installed.
    Has anyone ever encountered this issue before and found a solution for it.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Ok, I found out it has definitively something to do with the "Design mode could not load swiz-framework-1.0.0-RC1.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)" warning. This somehow affects the loading of the mx:Image.
    Recompiling the SWC might work with the swiz swc, but there are more swc's giving this error like the google maps swc which does not have the source avalable freely.
    This is a real pain as I like to use a mockup image in Design Mode to place components exactly as provided by the design team.

  • How to enable COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc. panels for the custom components?

    POSITION AND SIZE and COMPONENT PARMETERS are the only panels available for the custom components. Is there a way to configure the custom components or the Flash Pro itself to enable other panels (COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc.) that available for the Adobe UI components?

    In Flash CS6, you'll need to place your component(compiled clips) inside a Movieclip symbol to apply these settings. In Flash CC, you may do so directly from the Properties panel like for any other movieclip symbol.
    Let me know if you face issues.

  • mx:Image no image preview in Design Mode

    Inside my Flash Builder (4.01) AIR project, the image preview in design mode for the mx:Image component does not show the image set with the source attribute.
    This seems to be a project specific problem. When I create a new project , insert mx:image and set the source to an image, the image is previewed just fine. I also get a possible related error saying : "Design mode could not load swiz-framework-1.0.0-RC1.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)"
    This error pops up in several google searches and is by some regarded as an sdk bug, so I dont know the relevance here.
    This happens in various flavours of the Flex SDK  (4.0/4.1 latest versions).
    Thanks in advance

  • Where is the Components Panel and the Design Mode button in FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium?

    I'm new to FlashBuilder. I've been using many years just Flash  and now I'm switching to FlashBuilder. I've seen some tutorials, but the Interface in my copy of the program do not match the one in the tutorials. I could't find the componets Panel and the Design Mode button. Any ideea why?
    My Laptop runs on Windows 7.  FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium is via Creative Cloud:
    SnapShot from Tutorials I've seen
    SnapShot From my application
    with yelow i've marked the place with the "Components View" and the "Design" mode button
    whith that red line I've marked the place where the "Design" mode button is expected
    I've notice the following menu:
    Whe you click on Views: Window->Show Views->Other...  an interactive dialog appears with the tree of views available. Above there is a textField where you can enter a filter. As you type the text, the tree updates accordingly, after each letter.
    I've searched for the Components panel ... surprise!!!
    nothing on filter
    filtering for Outline View
    filtering for Component View
    the tree complete
    the tree finds the Outline View
    the tree is already empty
    As you notice the list of views is empty even before I finish the spelling of the word "Component".
    Is there something I should configure, or this feature is not available in this particular distribution ?

    I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
    Strange...
    The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
    Will be available with a future update?
    Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
    Will never be available?
    I belive this features are not important  for advanced users... but  I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
    Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity  investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support.

  • Flash IDE Components in Flex 3 Design Mode. Can they be visible there?

    Hi,
    Im exploring Flex to get a grasp on its concepts and am currently looking into building components in the Flash IDE. Though i guess its likely that when you're more familiar with Flex you build your components in Flex, like said Im exploring its concepts and like to know where and how the Flash IDE fits in its workflow.
    I made a simple Flex Component in the Flex IDE, which shows up fine when I run the Flex project. But it does not show in Flex Design Mode.
    I have exported the component from Flash as an SWC and added the SWC to the Flex library path. The symbol in the Flash IDE extends UIMovieClip. Now I read in 'Using Adobe FlexBuilder 3' (p.67) that the Flex Components panel only lists visible components, according to the documentation 'components that extend UIComponent'.
    Note that my question is about being visible on the stage in Design Mode, not in the component panel. As UIMovieClip doesnt inherit from UIComponent (and the UIComponent class doesnt seem to be available in the Flash IDE), is this also the cause that the Flash IDE component is not visible on the Flex stage in Design Mode?
    Can someone confirm, or deny this?
    Regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Latha,
    thanks for your feedback. Reading it back though, Im still not sure whether Flex components build in the Flash IDE (using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3) can be visible in Flex 3 Design Mode.Maybe you can be a bit more specific and save a lot of Flex beginners a lot of headaches.
    I understand that MXML components can be used in Design Mode. I also understand that if your component is AS you have to create a Library and link that to your project to make them visible in Design Mode. I also understand that Flash Builder 4 does "support rendering of UIMovieClip objects which are in library (swc) and added to the project build path"
    This actually doesnt answer my question really. Does this mean there is no way to render Flex components build in the Flash IDE (using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3)  in Flex 3 Design Mode?
    Regards,
    Marcel

  • How to add default values when adding custom component to design view?

    I have a set of custom components (usually) extending Spark components. But when adding our custom component onto design view, how can I define defult values (in AS3).
    For example, s:Button has default label = 'Button' when added to application, or mx:DataGrid has 3 columns predefined, but when using custom components there are no predefined values like this.
    I can put this values in constructor, but they are not visible in design time, only runtime.
    Any ideas? Thanks
    Esmin

    yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
    In design.xml having
    <component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
    use this
    <component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
            <defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
        </component>
    so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

  • Logo Component - Design mode shows the edit component toolbar don't show "Edit" button

    I just created a Logo component on my website following the CQ "How to create a Fully Featured Internet Website" guide.
    I do create the logo component, edited the jsp page with the following code
    <%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
    <%@ page import="com.day.text.Text,
                     com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.Image,
                     com.day.cq.commons.Doctype" %>
    <%  String home = Text.getAbsoluteParent(currentPage.getPath(), 2);
        Resource res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("fileReference");
        if (res == null) {
            res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("file");
        log.error("path is:" + currentStyle.getPath());
    %>
        <a href="<%= home %>.html"> <%
        if (res == null) {
            %> Home Page <%
        }else {
            Image img = new Image(res);
            img.setItemName(Image.NN_FILE, "file");
            img.setItemName(Image.PN_REFERENCE, "fileReference");
            img.setSelector("img");
            img.setDoctype(Doctype.fromRequest(request));
            img.setAlt("Home Page");
            img.draw(out);
        %>
        </a>
    Then, I created the tag "<cg:include>" in my jsp page, calling this jsp.
    After all that, I created the Design Dialog for my logo component, then a "items" node under the tab1 node of the design dialog.
    After this, finnaly, the widget node (absParent), under the items created before.
    A lot of propertys later, I got my Logo object in the page, but the toolbar with the "Edit" button on Design mode don't show me the "Edit button" 
    Someone can tell me how to get the button there?
    Is some property that I may have forgotten?
    Thanks.

    Basically, the edit toolbar has the same with as your component, which indeed is problematic for narrow components.
    But you can work-around that with a basic CSS hack:
    .cq-editbar {
        min-width: 200px !important;
        _width: 200px !important; /* IE6 */
    This seems to be fixed in CQ 5.5.

  • Design mode troubles - "Error during component layout."

    Hi all.
    Since this is getting pretty annoying, I thought someone might know the right solution to this. Whenever I try to open Design mode on my AIR app (Spark + MX), I get:
    Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design > Refresh to refresh design mode.    MyTestApp.mxml    /MyTestApp/src    Unknown    Problem
    The MXML code for it is as simple as it can get:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                                skinClass="spark.skins.spark.SparkChromeWindowedApplicationSkin"
                                >
    </s:WindowedApplication>
    And app descriptor XML only contains transparent set to true and systemChrome to none, even tho it shouldn't make any difference in the Design view anyway. Refresh doesn't solve the error, and sometimes the Design view itself goes into infinite loop of refreshing.
    However, if I remove the skinClass, it all works fine and Design view loads (but then I don't get the window chrome on run-time). Same goes if I declare the skin within <fx:Style /> tag, it only breaks when using skinClass attribute in the WindowedApplication declaration. And the same thing happens if I try to edit some of the Spark skins in the Design view.
    I've tried creating a new project, switching workspaces, building a blank workspace, switching from Flex SDK 4.1 to 4.0 - all to no avail, the same error always occurs and it never goes away.
    Any ideas?

    Instead of declaring the skin within the WindowedApplication tag, you have to call the Skin class from a Style tag right after you close your window tag:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
    Xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    title="YOUR APP">
    <fx:Style>
    @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
    s|WindowedApplication
    skinClass:ClassReference("spark.skins.spark.SparkChromeWindowedApplicationSkin");
    background-color:#999999;
    background-alpha:"0.7";
    </fx:Style>

    Some elements can cause the design view to break, it recently happened to me and this was my solution.
    I began by commenting out most of the visual elements from code and going back and forth to design view to try and get it working.
    Finally I narrowed it down to the "ToggleButtonBar" component. After I commented this line out the design view was up and running.
    This might not be the solution but it will get you back up and running.

  • How to differentiate design mode /running in extended component

    Hi,
    Is there a way to know if a component is render in the design
    mode of FB3? (Another post was done more than one year ago but no
    answer...)
    Regards

    Hi,
    in your code you can:
    boolean designtimeChecked = false;
    boolean isDesigntime = false;
    if (!designtimeChecked){
    //prevent this code being executed in designtime
    FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest rq = (HttpServletRequest)fctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    isDesigntime = rq.getServerPort()==-1;
    designtimeChecked=true;
    later on you just call if (!isDesigntime){
    // execute code

  • Flash Builder Design Mode Bug Workaround (!!!)

    I've been fighting this annoyance since FB4 came out, and while I still don't think that custom/embedded fonts in design view are fixed by this, I've been able to reproduce this "fix" (workaround) to get design view to show fonts/theme correctly under some very specific circumstances on two separate PCs.
    If anyone from Adobe sees this I'd like to know whether this sounds familiar or is possibly logged as a bug already somewhere in JIRA.. if not I could probably do that as long as it won't be a wasted effort.
    The problem:
    You're using a Halo theme but certain CSS settings (specifically and possibly limited to FONTS) don't work properly in design view even though they work fine in Flash.  Essentially this makes design view practically useless since choice of font family, size, and weight can effect component sizing if you aren't hard-coding component sizes (ugh)... ruining your efforts to use design view for UI design if your UI has any level of complexity (or uses absolute positioning at all).
    The specific circumstances seem to be:
    You're using the Halo theme (you have no special 'skinning' requirements and want Halo defaults w/only CSS customizations)
    You've upgraded a Flex 3 project to Flex 4 SDK (not sure if this is needed to reproduce the issue)
    Using a regular non-embedded font (embedded fonts still do crap out, but even this 'workaround' doesn't fix that problem)
    You're using swc library files such as the Swiz lib, Mate, Flexlib, etc. (I think it's ANY swc, not specific to any one)
    This may also only apply when using an "mx only" project (no Spark), since we're using Halo here
    The two part fix (as far as I can tell you need BOTH before design view works correctly):
    In .actionScriptProperties, add the following bolded line after the compiler tag like so:
      </compiler>
      <theme themeIsDefault="false" themeIsSDK="true" themeLocation="${SDK_THEMES_DIR}/frameworks/themes/Halo"/>
      <applications>
      (I think this may only apply to 'upgraded' projects, as the line does seem to be present in newly created FB4 Halo projects.  My guess is that an "upgraded" project should have such a line added, but doesn't get it due to an oversight/bug.)
    The somewhat painful, and definitely odd part.  Remove all your SWC library files from /libs.  Grab the source code for the libraries and drop them into your project's /src folder as if you'd written them yourself.  (This may require some research and knowledge on special requirements to build the libs, such as with Swiz's compiler metadata compiler settings which you need to put into your project's settings.)  After you get things set up right and the project compiles again, doing a refresh of design view should finally give you proper looking Halo controls and fonts so they look identical to the Flash runtime view.
    Why this works, I've no idea.  I suspect it has something to do with that stupid and annoying (and supposedly 'harmless') design mode warning message you get when you include a library like Swiz or Mate in your project.  (Design mode could not load xxxxxxxxxxxxx.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)) - this warning doesn't break your application, people seem to think it's just a harmless warning..but is it breaking design view?
    If anyone has any idea what's going on here, why this 'fixes' the problem (a better work around), or has any other insight I'd love to hear it.  The combo of needing to do two things (in my specific case) to fix the problem really made this a ROYAL PAIN, I still can't believe I found it.

    Hi Fernando, sorry for the delayed response.  CSS Design Mode is not available for Flex 4 projects, but it is still available in Flex 3 projects.  The reason for this is that designing components in Flex 4 is often a lot different, since it relies highly on the new spark skinning architecture.  There is, however, an Appearance panel available in design view which supplies a set of the main inheriting styles. Setting these styles in the Appearance panel will result in assigning values to a global style selector.
    I hope this helps,
    Rob

  • More design mode problems

    I've been down this road before but now it's getting just crazy. I can't get work done if I want to create a simple layout. I've created new workspaces, cleaned, everything I can think of including taking out any third-party components that might possibly be compiled in non 4.5.1 (though they supposedly have).
    I try to create a simple MXML component. If it's based on anything visual (e.g., panel) or if I start with a group and then drag in a panel, I just get the little computer icon with red x on it in design mode with the following errors in the Design Mode Problem panel. I mean, this is just a new, empty component.
    Assets failed to compile. 
    Design Mode is unable to display the document styles, skins, and images because the following assets have failed to compile:Details

    Any ideas?

    I thought I had it by deleting a namespace reference; things started to render and all was good for a couple minutes. Then it reverted to the same problem so I'm open to other suggestions.

  • SWC Load Error - Design Mode Problem

    Hi,
    I'm loading custom .swcs into my Flash Builder (4.5 Burrito) project and I get these errors. These will only appear in design mode (not in source mode) and will not be labelled under the Problems tab, rather the Design Mode Problems tab:
    SWC Load Error
    SWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.
    The SWC may have failed to load because of: 
    *  Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version 
    *  Missing referred class definitions
    I don't think this problem is caused by an SDK incompatibility, as all these swcs have been created under flex 4 and I'm pretty sure under the 4.5 SDK.
    Loading the components contained in these swcs onto my canvas (at design time) will work fine. I'm able to build and run the application without any errors caught by flash builder.
    Any idea how to fix this problem, or what it means?

    SWC Load error indicates that the swc used does not match with the definitions present in design view or with what is present in already loaded other lirbaries.  The issue is reported by the flash loader.  It looks like that, your swc is compiled with a previous version of the sdk and the design view and the related definition correpsonds to another version.
    The incompatability logic is not in DV.  When DV tries to load all the swc details available in the project, the loading fails as the loader reports the issue. There is hardly anything, we can do here from DV.  If the player reports the incompatability issue, the loader is corrupted and all further loading is ignored. So to avoid such issue, DV ignores the failed swc's and tries to proceed.
    If you pass me the swc , I can give the details of the incompatability. Ideally between 4.5 and 4.5.1 there should not have been any incompatability.  However your case shows there is.  You can contact me at [email protected]
