Buggy Component Inspector window

This has been an insane issue for years now and I was hoping they'd fix it by now, but no. When you adjust the columns in the Component Inspector window, then try to adjust a parameter, then the inspector scrolls you like 200 pixels out to the right in the panel, rendering it mostly useless. The only way to get it to behave that I know of it to reboot Flash. This is ridiculous. Does anyone know of any solutions?
Any input appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan P.

It gives you a wider variety of parameters than you would see
in the properties pane; and sometimes there are wizards for the
particular component, available when you click the button with the
wand/star on it.
That's enough for me to use it!

  • Can cuepoints be entered in any order in MediaDisplay component inspector?

    I'm going to adding a LOT of cuepoints to the Flash 7
    compatible MediaDisplay component using the component inspector
    window, since that's the only way I can see to do it (is that
    right?). After I finish inputing them, invariably I'll be adding
    more that'll reside between the existing cuepoints. Can I just add
    them to the end or do the cuepoints have to be listed in order of
    time? It doesn't seem like the inspector lets me insert cuepoints
    between two existing ones, and I'd hate to have to delete all my
    work just to put in a few more. Thanks.

    Thanks Rothrock. I really appreciate you help on this. I'll
    look into that. Hey, since you're willing to give some advice, any
    idea how to do this:

  • Component inspector vanishes

    My flash has started having a major problem with components,
    any one that i add, when i go to component inspector to try and
    change any options, that window simply disappears, without changes
    taking place, so as of right now components are useless, any ideas?
    im on a intel mac
    just started with leopard but prob was occuring before switch
    cs3

    latest version of flash cs3, mac os 10.5, but problem was
    occuring before the upgrade, when it was still 10.4.9. i just did a
    complete uninstall and reinstall of cs3 and the problem is still
    present, im at a loss...

  • Component Inspector bug

    ARGH. I would've hoped they'd've fixed this by now. In the
    component inspector, if I make the "Name" column wider, and if I've
    got an array item in there with several items, when I click on the
    Value column for anything, it scrolls the whole table of data to
    the far right (accomodating the width of the array item, but
    pushing the variable names off out of the left side of the window,
    so I can't see them. It's really annoying when I'm just trying to
    access a boolean or other droplist and can't see the variable name
    to the left. It's not the end of the world, but really annoying.
    Anybody know how to make it stop?

  • Build GUI like component inspector in FORTE

    I want to make GUI that used swing. But I 've problem to realize my design. I've choosed to create main window with toolbar and target area. When I clicked toolbar, the target area will be changed (like component inspector in FORTE). I didn't use mdi, because it does't suitable with my project.
    Thank you

    coope69 - perhaps you mistook my reply as hostile? If so, I
    apologize, as it was not intended to be so.
    If the keyboard shortcuts do not work for you, it could very
    likely be a bug with your specific install of the IDE. I have
    confirmed that the keyboard shortcuts work fine in my Mac version
    of Flash CS3.
    It is true, I come from a PC background, but I use both Mac
    and PC on a regular basis. One of my pet peeves about the Mac OS my
    entire life was the non-contained window, so I am clearly in favor
    of having a singular contained window (I find that when it is not
    in a singular contained window, I tend to accidentally click on the
    desktop, or other applications that are open, severely hindering my
    workflow. Something I considered, and still do consider a very
    large bug in the Mac workflow. But this is personal preference, and
    I know that many others consider it better to not have a contained
    window)
    Regardless of my personal preferences for what it looks like,
    I feel that a uniform application identity is a step forward. There
    is no reason an application should look completely different when
    running on a Mac vs a PC.
    I know there was no public beta for Flash, I am an avid beta
    tester for Adobe, and always download software as soon as its
    available. I recently signed up to be included in private beta
    testing as well. My statement about the public betas being out for
    months is very relevent, though, as the singular window is a
    Creative Suite wide change, and was in all 3 of the applications
    that were out for beta. If the community as a whole had rejected
    it, I am certain that Adobe would have made sure to correct the
    concerns.

  • Where is the inspector window in the new pages 5.0?

    I am having a serious problem trying to manage this new version of Pages. Something that I simply loved in the old version was the Inspector Window that just vanished. How can I have it back or how can I return to the old version? Is that possible?

    It's gone- one of many features stripped out in this new version.  Best bet is to continue to use Pages 09 from a previous save of your Doc- I hope you kept a backup becuase not everyone's having great luck "exportings as 4.3" to get the old version of a document back.
    FYI, the old Pages remains in the iWork Folder in your Applications Folder.

  • Pages '09: The inspector window doesn't open any more - no idea why

    Don't know what and when something went wrong. But I can't open the inspector window anylonger. Any idea?

    Usually the problem is that the Inspector window is hiding under something else, such as a Help window.

  • How to remove the "Image Mask" labels under the effects tab in the Inspector window

    I'm still trying to find my way round Final Cut Pro X after using Final Cut Express for many years. I don't know how I have manage to finish up with two Image Masks being set under the effects tab in the Inspector window. The Image Mask effects are not active (the box adjacent to the label is not blue) How can I remove the Image Mask label from the Effects tab in the Inspector window?
    Thanks JohnH

  • Video effects (none button) does not exist in inspector window

    New to iMovie 09.  Only issue I am having so far is finding the video effects.  I select a clip and then open the inspector window.   But when I click on "Clip", there is no "None" button to open the effects window.  It only shows some info on "Stabilizatoin".  Nothing else.  Under the "Video" button are the exposure and color adjustments, etc.
    I am sure I am overlooking something simple, but I have read through all documentation and this forum and nothing seems to be working.  I have set "Show Advanced Options" from preferences. 
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !

    If you select the clip then hit Letter "i" for Inspector, you'll get a window that roughly looks like this (bottom half is missing because clipped it off). What you are most interested in clicking on is the Video Effect: pulldown menu. When you click on it, the Inspector flips around and gives you thumbnail images of all the video fx you can apply. I have iMovie '11, not '09 so your version might look slightly different.

  • Audio inspector windows lost

    I lost my inspector windows for all of the apps. like audio, color, voice over. Can someone help me. I have a dual monitor setup and sometime the stupid thing stay on the other monitor even if I'm not plug into it WIERD! so I have to plug into the other monitor and then drag them over to the macbook screen and now there gone. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
    I thing there like off of both the screens, but how can that be.

    I am having the same issue with iMovie 7.1.1. I cannot see any of the editing palettes. When I switch to a different user account I can see the palettes so it is a vexing problem. I also use an external monitor with my 2.4 Ghz black Macbook and I thought the same as you in regard to the palette being on the external extended desktop, but for the life of me it will not appear. Frustrating.
    Did you ever get the palettes back? I suppose I could reinstall iMovie but I wonder if there is a preference file somewhere that I could trash so the program could basically start over.

  • Runtime Sharing & Component Inspector Bug

    I'm not sure if this is a bug with Flash or me doing something wrong. Here are the steps to reproduce:
    1) Create "Source.fla"
    draw a box on the stage and convert it to a movie clip. Call it "Component"
    export Component for actionscript. Give make the class name "Component"
    also, check "Export for runtime sharing" and put "Source.swf" in the URL. Click OK.
    Next, right click the Component in the library and select "Component Definition..."
    click the "+" button to add a parameter, give it the name "label" with type "String". Click OK
    Save and test the movie so "Source.swf" is compiled out.
    2) Create "Destination.fla" in the same directory
    close Source.fla
    go to File > Import > Open External Library...
    select Source.fla. Click OK
    you should see another Library panel show up with the Component symbol in it.
    drag the Component symbol from that library onto the stage
    save and run it. Everything should be fine: you should see your Component symbol from Source.fla should up on Destination.fla's stage.
    3) The Bug!
    now, click the imported Component symbol on Destination.fla's stage. And go to the component inspector.
    you should see the "label" property we created earlier in step 1
    change the value to something other than the default
    save and run it.
    you should see this compile time error: "Scene 1    1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Component."
    What's up with that eh? Seems like a Flash bug to me. Unless I'm missing something.
    FYI: I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 (11.0.2.489)
    Message was edited by: RovertNnud

    Yep, the problem definitely still exists in CS6 12.0.2.529.   I have hundreds of source files for lessons being used by students from PA to TX, and this BUG is making it impossible to work with the files.
    First of all, if a library object is imported for runtime sharing, then it shoudl be loaded from that external source when the file is opened, and flash should keep a file system watcher on the source RSL file so that when it changes, it automatically updates the library definition.
    Furthermore, the "Authortime Sharing" seems to handle these updates automatically, but it requires a source FLA file, and once you set one, there's no way to unlink from it.  If you decide you don't want to use Authortime Sharing, and just use the "import for runtime sharing" option instead, you're screwed.  There is no way to unassociate a file from a source FLA once you choose one.  This needs to be fixed immediatly, or RSL and Authortime sharing are useless in Flash CS6.
    Did you guys somehow patch CS5.5, without carrying the fixes forward to CS6?  lol.  This is confusing.

  • Floating inspector window?

    What happened to the floating inspector window?  Is there anyway to get this feature back in the latest Pages?

    Because Pages 5 was knocked up in great haste and they have appalling or no Quality Control.
    The new design fashion at Apple is to get rid of floating Inspectors and imitate Windows instead.
    They don't seem to have anyone independently checking their work. I found it within minutes of opening Pages 5.
    Apple likes to spring its surprises on its users, unfinished, document trashing, bugs and all.

  • Component Inspector Parameters Missing

    When I launch the Component Inspector for a Multiple Choice
    Interaction, there are no parameters listed under the Parameter
    tab. I am used to MX2004, where there was a table and I could fill
    in all my values for questions, answers, etc. But now I'm in Flash
    8 and that grid isn't there. When I click on the Parameter tab for
    a Component Inspector it is a blank slate. Can anyone help? I'm
    guessing there is some trick for me to see the fields that I could
    so easily fill in with MX2004?
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    Thanks. I expected such answer. But didn't expect Adobe made it silent. I hoped they at least explained something. And what component inspector panel does now? Nothing? Why then Adobe left it...   I remember good times with Macromedia...
