Can't select anything in design mode

I am new on a large Flex project, and when I go into design mode on one of the mxml files, I can't select anything.  The other views work fine.  Is there a lock, or something?   Below is what it looks like (black mark just hides brand info).  Note that there is a red line near the bottom.  It is actually selectable, but it doesn't do anything.  If I go to Source mode and select a chunk of code, then back to design mode, it does show it as selected.
This in Flex Builder 3, thanks.

Have you tried using the outline view for selection?

    Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test:  Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker.  Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
    Did you attempt to repair MS Office?  Test:  Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
    Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker?  Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker.  See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

  • Suddenly I can not select anything within the top inch or so of any web page. The scroll bar arrow doesn't work at the top. I don't know what to do. I tried updating my browser but the problem still exists.

    Everything worked fine on Tues. I shut down my system and then on Wed. morning, the problem appeared. Anything within the top inch or so of a webpage is unavailable to select. It is like there is an inch of the page that is dead. It is that way on every website that I visit with Firefox. It does not happen if I use internet explorer, which I do not like and do not want to have to go back to using. Please help!!! My sister in law has the same problem with firefox.

  • The microsoft on-screen keyboard doesn't work with firefox. I try to enter type and it jumps around the page. I can't select anything on drop down lists.

    I tend to use the on-screen keyboard. For about two months I've been unable to type text in firefox. I can't use dropdown boxes. I have to text to notepad then copy and paste it. I realize this is hardly a critical issue but I've loved using firefox for years and am considering going to another browser if I can't resolve this.

    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
    <BR>While you are in safe mode;<BR>
    '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''.<BR>
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Restart FF. If there is still a problem, check '''caret browsing''' <F7>.
    It might have been turned on.

  • File in InDesign CS2 seems locked - can't select anything

    I've received an InDesign file from a client and am trying to open it in CS2. It opens fine and other than some missing fonts which is easily fixed there are no problems. I do have problems when I try and select any of the objects - picture boxes or text - I can't seem to select anytghing. The layers are not locked and everything appears ok. Even when I "select all" nothing is selected. It's like the whole file is locked however when I check (apple-I, I'm on a MAC) the file is marked as both read and write as it should be. I get the feeling this is something really simple and I'll feel like an idiot when it's pointed out to me but I'm at my wit's end. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    OK, THANK YOU!!! That did it. I knew it would be something stupidly simple. I'd never think someone would work that way and wouldn't have looked there.
    Thanks.

  • My firefox wont open, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still doesnt work. It wont open so I can't change anything in safe mode. Please help :(

    I used to have at&t internet, dont know what this has to do with it but it's weird that as soon as I switched over to comcast internet my firefox completely stopped working -__- I try to open it and it loads but the page never comes up. Someone please help me, I dont want to lose my bookmarks and passwords..

    Another way to start into Safe Mode is to hold the Shift key when double-clicking the Firefox icon.
    If you have tried to start multiple times, you might have a frozen Firefox process in memory. To terminate that (I'm assuming Windows) open the Task Manager using Ctrl+Shift+Esc, click into the Processes tab, and look for firefox.exe. If you find it, highlight it and click End Process to kill it. Alternately, restarting Windows will clear it.
    Any luck starting in Safe Mode?
    Did you install any software from Comcast?

  • Dreamweaver CS3- can not paste from Word into Design mode window

    Have been away from DW for a while, and upon return having a
    bit of difficulty with paste function for text. I can select text
    in design mode/window; I can type in design mode, but I can not
    paste into design mode. I can only paste in code view or the code
    half of split view. Is there a setting/preference I have set wrong?
    Thx

  • Can't select, drag or do anything with clips

    Can't select any clips in any iMovie project, but I can use the FILE, EDIT, WINDOW, etc. functions. Nothing else will work, not minimizing the program, not playing the clips, dragging, cutting, etc.
    it started around the time I updated to Quicktime 7.4.1
    I had been putting that off because of the issues with AE, but decided to run it last night. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or if it's just coincidental.

    Have the exact same problem, up till now everything worked fine. Not sure when it started, various OS - iApps - QT updates recently, but here it is. I dragged a 90 minute .mov file to the clips pane, 55 minutes of importing (including the 5 minute beach ball at the end) and although the drop down finder bar menus work I can't select anything in the window including the clip itself, timeline/clip viewer switch, or the red-yellow-green buttons at the top left corner. Although "select all" is available in the edit drop down menu nothing selects. Tried tossing the com.apple.imovie.plist with no change. Opened a new movie with nothing imported same thing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Can't click to select anything on the desktop since installing mavericks on my macbookpro retina.

    After installing maverick on my MacBook Pro I can control the curser from the track pad but can't select anything at all. I have tried plugging a mouse in and the same thing happens. I have no control over anything on the desktop at all. Any ideas of how to get out of this situation please?

    Hi Lee,
    Try this,navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Let us know.

  • Preview and design mode issues

    I would like to report a couple of glitches in Muse. 
    Problem #1:
    I had a pair of photos that I added some text with in a separate text box.  I had problems with alignment, so I put the photos into a  slideshow with the text:
      I hit enter to space everything out properly, and a portion of the text moves above where I want it, and overlaps existing text, and the column shrinks:
    If I hit enter again, then delete, the text moves back to where I want it to go.
    Problem #2:
    On occasion, when I preview a page I am designing, it looks jumbled with text in places I never put it and opacity is reduced, like it's under layers.  I deleted all text on the page and re-previewed with no difference in how it appeared, text still jumbled and out of place with text I just deleted.  I revert to last saved and luckily that fixes it, but it sets me back a few steps.  I didn't save any screen shots from that fiasco, but I did with the next one that occurred:
    in Design mode I added the red links on the left of the Home page like this:
    Preview showed a mess with the text I have on the master page like this, no links, and nav tabs placed above everything:
    I have sent this to Adobe for a response with my export file and screen shots and haven't heard anything back yet.
    Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Chad

    I have updated Muse to
    Realease version
    V2.2, build 6, CL 770942
    AIR Runtime: 3.4.0.2540
    I made some changes to the "Animal Facts" page,
    Saved it, Exported it, then uploaded it to my server.
    What is shown in "Plan mode" is consistent with what I have designed, but I can't get it
    to publish that way:
    Now the changes that I made aren't showing up in the Firefox preview when exported, the Firefox view once published, or the preview within Muse.
    Further the screen that shows up I can't find on the "Design mode" to change or delete it:

  • When I click on the drop down options they are flicking quickly & I can't select one. I've uninstalled & re-installed Firefox. Any ideas?

    It happens whenever I'm on the internet - banking etc. Usually the options - like how I want my name written - come up when I click in a box, and I can select the one I want. Now however when I click on the box the options flicker past quickly & no matter how fast I move my mouse I can't select anything! Very frustrating, so I hope someone can help me.

    Try to update to Firefox 12. Does the issue still happen there? (Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported or secure).
    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
