Design Mode black

Hi,
I have an application based on flash builder 3 with SDK 3.2.
I try to import this application to Flash builder 4.6 with SDK 3.6, but in design mode, I have a black screen.
Anyone have a solution for that ?

Hi,
Open the report,
Go to " File">"Options">"Layout" tab>"Design View" group>Check box "Grid" is checked or not.
If it is checked 'Un check' that check box and try,.

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?

Muse 2014.2.1.10 - place of svg - not showing right in design mode but correct in browser

Hi,
I am trying to place an svg file as a stand alone object and I am not seeing it correctly in design mode at muse. It seems to add a black stripe at the bottom of the svg covering a significant amount of the svg image. When preview at the chrome browser it seems fine and also by using the preview in browser of muse.
Any ideas?

It is weird and kinda frustrating but it appears to be working now (partly). I still can't see the image in Design view but they are now showing up in the browser.
I tested this using the following save settings in Illustrator (both worked this time, but when I tried originally both failed).
Only difference between the two is the Responsive option.

Problem w/FB2 Mac OS X Design mode

Can not switch to design mode w/o getting this error message
""An unknown item is declared as the root of your MXML ". This msg
pops up even with a new file generated by the builder wizard. This
bug doesn't exist on winXP with the same file, so this seems to be
a Mac version issue.
thx

Hi, I'm having a similar problem to Dirk. I'm setting up Leopard server on a brand new Mac Pro that won't boot from the server DVD which only has 10.5.4. I found the article that Tony mentions, and this method does indeed allow the server software to install over the client OS. The procedure did get through to the end on each occasion I've followed it though, with no black screen or crash.
But - like Dirk found - some of the usual "server assistant" questions just don't show up.
The "TCP/IP Connection" page is a no show and the "Network Names" page doesn't show either. I'm particularly concerned about this latter page being missing as I'm not sure how to enter the primary DNS name after the install has completed.
I tried the Apple KB article's method again in case I'd missed something - and this time I made sure that the ethernet port was configured with a static IP at the client stage before introducing the server DVD (I'd left it on the default DHCP setting on my first attempt).
Can anyone tell me the correct way to enter the primary DND name for the server AFTER the server assistant has finished up please? Or another way to do this "server over client" install?
One other thing I noticed after each install attempt was that - upon launching Server Admin for the first time - the NFS service was active. Usually no service is active at launch. This fact along with the Apple article's note about kerberos makes me worry about what else is different when this type of server over client install is performed.
Thanks for any pointers,
Paul

Text Not Displaying in Design Mode

About mid-way through creating my first Muse website, the body text of my pages quit being displayed while in Design mode. The text boxes are all still there and I can select the text, change the text, etc. but can't see what I am doing. When I hit the Underline button, just the line is displayed. When I preview the page as well as post the site, the text is fine. I am just using Arial font and my text is white on a black background. I have tried changing the color dozens of times as well as bringing it to the front, adding new text boxes, anything I can think of. Any ideas? Thanks!!

That's wierd.
Have you tried resetting Muse preferences. If not yet, please do so by deleting the AdobeMuse folder found at one of the below locations depending on your Operating System:
Windows 7: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data
Mac: /Users/your_user_name/Library/Preferences/
Relaunch Adobe Muse after removing the AdobeMuse folder from above location. Hope that helps.

Design panel black

Am I missing something obvious?
I switched to flash builder 4.6 and cannot see my panel in design mode anymore.
Thank you,
Ralf

Are you running multi-screen? Try resizing the black panel using the splitter bars.
This has been a problem on FB/Eclipse for some time now, at least since the MAX preview. Setup: dual monitor, primary monitor on the right, secondary monitor on the left, FB on secondary, Start toolbar on secondary. Mostly happens when restoring FB from minimized.

MUSE: seeing something in preview that I can't see in design mode

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I designed a very simple 1 page site in MUSE with a slideshow, everything is working great, except when I go to preview mode, my website address is in the upper right hand corner of the page in small black text. I didn't add it anywhere while in design mode but it keeps popping up. How can I get rid of it?

Hello
Please publish this site as a trial site in Muse by clicking on Publish from within Muse and provide us with the URL to the trial site for us to see the issue.

Eclipse +flex 3 plugin crashes when trying to see mxml file in design mode

Hi,
I have strange problem I've been struggling with for 3 days.
I have eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-win32(eclipse europa 3.3.1.1)
+ adobe flex 3 eclipse plugin.
My workspace consists of several projects + one library.
There is not problem when trying to edit any mxml file when
my library is not imported yet. Once I import it to my workspace I
cannot see any mxml file in design mode since it crashes with the
following msg in log:
Did anyone have similar problem and maybe knows the
solutiuon? I've reinstalled/redownoaded eclipse, flex plugin, flash
players and so on. What's more it happens only on my machine - same
project on different one works without crushing.

I've found solution by myself so I'll present it here. Maybe
someone will need it.
The problem of such behaviour was that Flex plugin always (at
least on my pc) wants to ustart eclipse using its own JRE from here
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre (default dir).
This environment is Java 5. When you go to
eclipse>window>preferences>Java>Installed JREs and you
delete default Flex JRE, add new to point to for example C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 eclipse still uses JRE from C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre. Do not know why
Flex/eclipse does that but if you simply overwrite C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre files with newer JRE from
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 all works perfectly.
Hope it helps somebody ;-)
thanks Artur

Dreamweaver 8: Java script in Design Mode

Mac OS 10.4.11 Dreamweaver 8
I have a web page with a java script that displays a random picture from a list of images each time you reload the page.
http://www.irises.org
It renders fine when viewed in a browser, but the image does not display when viewed in Dreamweaver Design mode. The random image does not display and lacking the image other things are out of place.
The script that sets up the image array:

The code (further down the page after the all the list elements) that generates the image:
           <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



</script>
Is there a way to get it to display correctly in the Design mode?
Thanks
<br />
</script>

Is there a way to get it to display correctly in the Design mode?
I don't think so, at least not with this script. What you need is for an image to be displayed on the page by default, and for the javascript to only change the src attribute's value. Something like this -
At the point where you want the image have -
<img src="the_path_to_some_default_image.jpg" id="rotation" />
and in the javascript, change this -
document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
to this -
document.getElementById('rotation').src='theImages[whichImage]';
See if that works....

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

GIF won't play in design mode, but previews fine... any ideas?

My animated gif loops in browser preview, but only plays on the stage when i move it around. If I leave it selected without moving, it sits there frozen. Any ideas why my gif won't play properly in design mode? Thanks!

Thank you for confirmation that that is how things should work. I'm new to
the program and following some Lynda tutorials to get up to speed. My most
recent lesson included the gif in exercise files, and everything seems to
function both in Photoshop and the browser. Even in edge design mode, if I
press on the gif and move it around, it plays and loops fine. But as soon
as I stop moving the gif, it returns to first frame and stays stuck there.
Whether selected or not, it just sits there frozen. If I switch
applications and come back to edge, I catch a glimpse of other frames, as
if the gif was playing in the background. But then it stops again, kind of
like a watched pot The behavior seemed glitchy to me, but I thought I
might be missing a setting somewhere. I'll try with other gifs, I guess..
Thanks again!

No Design Mode in Flash Builder 4.7

It took me many hours to figure this out so I thought I would share what I discovered to make it easier on others.
1. Flash Builder 4.7 no longer has Design Mode (being able to design forms graphically). 4.6 was the last version to support it.
2. Adobe will not sell you 4.6 (or 4.5). They only sell 4.7. They suggest you find a retailer who has an old box.
3. Don't bother complaining, the word is "real programmers don't use design mode".
4. I called support yesterday to get some questions answered. I was told the wait time is over 2 hours and I can't leave a callback number. (At least at that time, they only let you leave a callback number for product returns - which I also did.)
I spent over 8 hours on this yesterday at a cost, in terms of lost revenue, of 4 figures. I hope this saves you some time.
Blake

Hi Blake,
In another page (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056583), Adobe states that it will be possible to download 4.6 in alternative to 4.7, to still have the Design View. However, I have not seen such possibility yet.
I will not say that "real programmers don't use design mode". They do, if it works fine.
However, the Design View was not very useful for mobile projects, if you wanted to create an interface which, at run time, adapts to different screen estates.
It was very good to draw an initial mock-up, but only the simulator (and the device) can say how the app really looks like (if you want to know more, please have a look here: http://aliencoding.com/2013/02/22/adobe-flash-builder-4-7-has-no-design-view-is-it-blasphe my-no-but-the-software-contains-some-other-blasphemous-aspects/).
If you develop for desktop, then I agree the Design View lack is a real drag. I think Adobe should at least lower the price of the program, now that it's been scaled down for (I think) copyright issues (the Design mode relies on Flash professional components that was not donated to Apache).
I love this platform because it really saved my butt in cases of real fast devployment, BUT NOW it lacks support for Windows 8 that PhoneGap has...
Can we say... it is a legacy framework by now?

Design mode not working in Jdev 10g

Hi All
I am facing some problem in Jdeveloper 10g. I created a project few days back. Today when I am opening jsp pages of that project, It is not coming in the Design mode. It writes only "Page Directives" instead of showing Forms and Tables. But when I run them, it shows the tables etc properly in browser.
Can anybode help me out to open the page in Design mode again.
Regards
Rexy

Hi Chris
According to the note, These files gate changed when they are inside WEB-INF. But in my case, these files are parallel to WEB-INF and still they are showing this kind of behaviour.

Can I fade out the targets in the Design mode?

I did put some triggers and targets from the tooltip widgets on my site. How can I make the targets disappear in the Design mode??? Of course they are gone in the Preview mode, but hey disturb me very much in the Designe mode, cause I can't see anything behind.

Hello,
Disable the option shown in this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-10-18_2304.png

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

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.
