Design View disappeared in FB 4.5 (not 4.7)

I know that Flash Builder 4.7 does not have a design view. However in Flash Builder 4.5 the option to switch to the Design View is grayed out and the button for design view has disappeared from my interface. I need this design view to follow a specific tutorial although I could probably get away with inspecting the code if I can get my hands on it. I would prefer to have the design view there. That's what I paid for with this version of Flash Builder.
Thanks in advance.

Design view is available up to Flash Builder 4.6, but you can not use a later version of the Flash SDK than 4.6 otherwise design view will not be enabled.

When I insert a format extension the design view disappears?

Hi,
I'm just following one of the tutorial from Lynda.com and found that when I change the format of a variable from a record set something very odd happens ... certainly not what happens in the tutorial.
Okay .. here is what I'm doing ...
I've installed the extension 'PHP Numeric Formats' from the Adobe Exchange and restart DWeaver.
I select the price variable {rsTitles.price} go to Bindings and change the format to the USDollar and as soon as the format is inserted all the images, formatting and text disappears in the design view and is replaced by a number of PHP icons.
Going to Live mode it is displaying ok ... but not being able to see what's going on in the design view is going to limit things somewhat.
All the other formats from the 'PHP Numeric Formats' have the same effect.
I also installed 'PHP Server Formats' (latest version from the programmers website) and the date format works ok .. but doesn't seem to have any currency options.
So first question is: Why is the above problem happening ... Does this happen to anyone else?
2nd question is: May you know of a better extension for currency and numeric formats. that doesn't cause the design view to disappear?
Many thanks for your time and I would really appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
Nick
I've attached some screenshots of the problem

Hi,
Doh! I've just realised what is happening ... my computer restarted but the WampServer (local.host) was not restarted and was not running at the time of applying the extensions. Once it is up and running all the currencies formats work just fine .... as I said before ... doh!
If your looking for formating for currency in an exstension ... I've been using 'FX PHP Formats' avaliable for download free here after registering:

Design view disappears when I uncheck Restrict Page Occurrence

Dear Adobe Forms Experts,
I have an Adobe print form with two master pages: one mailing address page that should only occur once, as the first page, and then the main page, which can occur many times. I have been asked to make the mailing page conditional, based on the company code of the invoice. I followed a very useful discussion on SCN explaining how to do this with a HIDEPAGE global variable, wrapping all the fields on the page in a subform, and doing some FormCalc scripting for the subform.
I was able to get the page to print as blank when the HIDEPAGE flag was set, but so far I have been unable to get the mailing page to go away altogether.
I noticed that on the mailing page the "Restrict Page Occurrence" checkbox was checked, and the Min count was set to 1. Well, I thought, that could explain it; I'll just uncheck the "Restrict page Occurrence" checkbox, and all will be right with the world!
Wrong! When I uncheck that checkbox, the Design View for my mailing master page disappears, and the mailing page never prints, regardless of the state of my HIDEPAGE global variable! When I recheck the checkbox, the design view reappears, and the mailing page goes back to printing a blank page when my HIDEPAGE flag is set.
What in the world is going on here?! What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB
P.S. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9.0, and I believe the form was originally created using 9.0

First off, in case anybody reading this in the future has any doubt, I will confirm that this discussion has morphed into the well-worn discussion on how to conditionally hide a page.
Pavan,
    I am now working on a copy of the original form, so I have the freedom to do whatever I want. First off, thank you for the suggestion of right-clicking on the "data" very-top-level node in the hierarchy view, and selecting "Insert subform". That did the trick for adding the missing design view for my mailing page.
    I am now trying to reduce things to their simplest form, to reduce the number of places I could be going wrong. The mailing master page now contains nothing but a content area (which appears to be required). The design view for my mailing page now contains only two objects: the "D_HIDE_PAGE" flag, (bound to the global field in the interface, where I have put the code to conditionally set the flag), and a subform called "Show_Hide", which is set to "flowed". The flag field is wrapped in the Show_Hide subform. I added the following FormCalc code to the Initialize, form:ready, and layout:ready events of the Show_Hide subform:
if ($.D_HIDE_PAGE == "X")
then
$.presence = "hidden"
endif
    When I do a print preview on the form for an invoice that does not set the flag, I see the label for my flag field on the mailing page. When I do a print preview for an invoice that DOES set the flag, I get a completely blank mailing page--but the blank page is NOT being suppressed!
    Just for grins I also tried adding the same FormCalc code to the same 3 events of the top-level subform of the design view (the one I added by right-clicking on the "data" node in the hierarchy view; I called this subform "MAIL_DESIGN"). Same results as before.
    I believe I've followed all the steps laid out in the many SCN discussions on this topic--but obviously I am still missing something. Any clues where I may have gone wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB

Design View Disappeared in CC 2014.1

When editing a site in "Managed Site" mode... ONLY the "LIVE" view button is available. When I edit a page that is not part of a "Managed Site", then the Design & Live view dropdown has both options. I still want "Design View" when editing a "Managed Site"
Thanks

If I want to delete an entire section of text that has more than one <p> tag or div's, you can't.
Did you know that you can delete tags (& content) by selecting it & pressing the delete button, in Live View?
If I want to replace all the text in multiple <p> tags, I can't.
You can double-click any tag in Live View to get into edit mode & then you can edit/replace text inside the tag,
Sometimes trying to delete the entire tag, doesn't...
... I have to go into code view to delete remnants of tags left behind.
Select the tag you want to remove & just hit the Delete button.
One frustrating thing I notice is that you have to single click, double-click to enter a true edit mode of text.
And sometimes, that doesn't work properly. Especially if you have multiple styles within a <p> tag.
You ONLY need to double-click to get into edit mode in Live View. Having multiple styles should not impact this functionality.
Alternatively, you can hit Enter/Return using keyboard to do the same.
One more AGGRAVATING THING is when I make an update in code or Live View, Live View doesn't update automatically.
I have to actually click the new "Refresh" button that is to the right of the Live View button.
And what really stinks... if I have 25 htm pages that I updated with a Library asset, I have to go to each page separately and press that refresh button...
ONE AT A TIME.
Do you have all 25 pages opened at a time? Are these pages part of a template?
Can you please elaborate on the workflows where updates are not reflected in Live View & you have to manually refresh pages?
Overall, thank you for listing down your pain points. It helps us understand workflow gaps & to come up with better ones in the future.
Request others also to list down their issues.
Thanks,
Subhadeep

Design view disappears

In a template that I am using on a number of pages, I put the
<body> tag in a editable region so I can add an onload tag
unique to to each page. This works fine when displayed with a
server, but in the Display mode of DW I get a blank page. This
happens on all pages that use the template, whether on not I have
added the onload tag.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be fixed?
Thanks,
Marty Matthews

You cannot have the <body> tag in a Template editable
region. If you want
to add a unique event to a child page's body tag, investigate
the use of
DW's Editable Attributes (use DW's F1 Help).

Design view not always available?

I have a some sites in Dreamweaver CC 2014 but none of them are created in this version, they are created mostly in CS6. But when I open them in CC 2014, some of them seem to have the "design view" available, but som of them not. And I cannot understand why. Anyone having a clue? This is quite annoying since I want the design view....
Lena P

The new Live View on CC 2014.1 64 bit works faster than Design view did in CC 2014, however, pages take twice as long to open/load on my Win 7 machine.
Also, if the settings are wrong, it is WAY too easy to delete content.
Example: With Split view "Code and Live" (No Design option for PHP pages) it will let m scroll in either Code or Live. If I click content in Live view I can't edit there. If I then click into Code view the entire Body highlights. If I scroll back down to the content I wish to edit and click a blank section of the code (outside of any tags) the entire body is again highlighted and cursor it at the top of this content.
More than once, out of habit, I have scrolled down to a content section, typed a letter and a whole block of content has been replaced with my new letter.
I am convinced this has to do with the new settings and my combinations are not right, but I can't find a combination I like (Can edit either live page or code AND see Fluid Grid background)
Today, I do prefer the previous Code and Design view for my PHP pages

RH8 - HTML Design view is not displaying what the HTML specifies.

I recently edited a template (Master page) that includes tables. Now the design view of the master page does not correctly display the HTML for that page
and the design view of each page that uses that Master Page displays blank tables. The HTML view includes the content, but the design view does not.

I understand the use of Master Pages. The topics were already associated with the Master page that included tables and the
Design view displayed the content perfectly. It wasn't until I edited the color of the cell borders in the Master page that everything went haywire.
As it is now, the design view is completely unusable for me. This adds a layer of inconvenience that is time consuming. I'm just trying to get the design view back to what it was earlier today.

Design view not displaying but code view is ok

Hi Everyone,
my design view in dreamweaver cs5.5 is not displaying anything but all the code is there and my page online is working fine http://www.exclusivewindowtint.com.au/car-window-tinting.html
How can i fix this as easy as possible? this is only happening to this one page on my website.
Thank You
George

I have to second Murray on this.
I will go a step further and say ignoring errors on your site because someone else's site has some is extremely poor advice, especially considering the volume of people visiting this forum alone with a random display problems that are solved by simply correcting the errors found in the validators.
Restoring from a backup may work this time, but why did it work? That's where validation, and understanding what the validator is telling you, pays off. You somehow inadvertantly mangled your table code, will that ever happen again? What happens if your backup also has the same mangled code next time?
Some validation errors are never going to affect display and can be completely ignored from a "how does this affect my design" point of view, like missing an alt attribute on an image for instance. Others, like missing or improperly nested html elements, can kill your design in browsers or rendering engines that can't handle major errors (like most versions of IE or DW's Design View) while everything looks fine in a browser better programmed to handle problems (like Chrome or Firefox).
Bottom line is, the validators are extremely useful tools, do not ignore the error report unless you understand which errors can be ignored.

Unable to view php files in Design View?

Need help! I cannot select design view when working with a PHP document, the DesignView option is disabled?
My information.
- Dreamweaver CS5
- Mac OSX 10.6 snow Lepoard
I have searched online and I also went through the FAQ but couldn’t find anything relating to this particular issue and my Professor at school said that I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available but all that I would see in Design View are the HTML elements within the PHP file.
The Design View button is disabled, I can not click on it all and so for my class assignments. I have to copy the PHP code into a new HTML document and only then am I able to view the html/php and edit the HTML elements, and then copy and paste it back into the PHP file once I have the html elements/design set up correctly.
I did a similar “Set up PHP for Mac OS X – MAMP” to the version available here, could I have set this up incorrectly and that is why Design View is disabled?
Thanks I appreciate your guys expertise and any help!

Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / Editors from the Category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT listed among the filename extensions in "Open in code view".
Adding a filename extension to that list prevents files from being opened in Design view.

Design View Removed?!

You've said Design View has been removed in your FAQ, but not said why. I use it to preview certain parts of my application instead of having to launch the app, then drill down to the point where that part of the app is visible.
It's a bit pointless saying Flash Builder 4.6 supports Design View since it is incompatible with the newer versions of Flex SDK. So if I created an application with Flex 4.8 and wanted to preview it in Design View, Flash Builder 4.6 would complain the SDK is not compatible and would not display the application.
Why did you remove Design View? Are there any plans to introduce it or something similar at a later date?

With all respect as former grouper at adobe i believe that you are taking aside here. Nothing wrong with that Don, but as iwas reading i got mixed messages... anyhow
The point i want to make clear, as i also believe some would agree and diagree is that adobe is simply gibing up with their one of the biggest inventions, JUST because a big *ss company such apple thinks inother way.
I would NOT call adobe as leader, a leader would NEVER give up on its team, which is us... developers... users and so on.
What adobe is now doing.... well they fall pretty much into a dictator mark. Why think this way is that now every company looks up to apple, the biggest company out there and they do so... they dictate users and developers and seems like everyother companie now believes that this is the thing.
It used to be, company having discussions with users and developer what should the COMPANY do, what do you developers want to see and what do users want to see and experience, but thats not the case anymore.
So basically, Adobe is no leader, they would NOT have given up on flex nor fb. A leader would have at least done some changes that makes us as the developers to feel comfortable with the transition, but they didnt... or did they ?
Now that thing with the html5... thats not gonna be the big I in this world. For instance, take C and c# they are used WIIIIIIIIDELY.... consoles, PCs, surely some customized motherboards before compilation, well i dont know that sh*t but what i know, they have been around long time one of e oldest languages BUT STILL there are alternatives which people prefer.
That leads us to one thing only, yea html5 will probably be some ones new beloved comfortable relationship-like thingy but tghere will be others who still love the kinky stuff, such as3,mxml,haxe,c,c#,xcode,python and so on...
So DONT narrow down the opportunities..... you dont see that kind of transitions in stores where all these serials suddenly start to dissappear.
As leader one would strenghten the users behind him nowthrowing them onto a thins ice where there future will be unsecure, cause that happend to me.
Andone more thing with that dictatorism thing, its not only adobe, sony and ubisoft allready have shown such indicators and also applied some of them on their products where ive seen many and pretty threattening post and also EA seems to follow that pattern.
A leader would make you comfortable with your choises cause leader belived it himself in the product, but when leader gives up, then you truly see the "leadership".
Html5 is not for everyones taste, surly not for mine,ill stay with as3 and fb4.6 till they die, then im gonne become an unemployee and will live on the government cause ive payd my taxes for long time and cause of my leader fcks up, im gonna get those taxes back. Pathetic i know, like giving up, yes... thats what adobe does on us!

It is clear from this reaction that most people haven't been following Adobe's abandonment of Flex, over the past two years, and their total investment in other technologies and services. It is business.
My point is ... you should not expect any significant investment from Adobe in Flash Builder. So, complaining about design view, or any other features, right now is not seeing the forest for the trees.
I WAS an Adobe User Group manager for years and a huge advocate of Flash Builder. Now, I've concluded that that 4.6 is the last true version of Flash Builder.
Handwriting has been on the wall for two years now folks. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. Time to invest in other technologies like your leader, Adobe, is doing.
If you really like design views/drag n drop interface, I recommend you take a look at http://www.sencha.com for designing HTML5 rich apps. Very nice design view interface.
I've chosen not to follow Adobe into their next big thing ... because most likely they will abandon it too like they did ColdFusion and Flex/Flash Builder.
With that said, Flash Builder 4.6 for Air desktop and mobile apps is a great thing to focus on for the next two years until HTML5 begins to come even remotely close to what Flex was capable of.
My two cents ... and clearly I have emotional issues that I need therapy for.

Design View Issue Dreamweaver CS4 - Taking forever to load design view

I am having an issue where my site takes literally almost a full day to load in design view. Once it is loaded everything works seemlessly but once I close down Dreamweaver and reopen it, I have to wait another day to get to design view of my site. All files open just fine in code view.
I have deleted the Dreamweaver CS4 cache folder, completely formatted my drive and reinstalled creative suite. I have also validated my code on W3c and everything checks out fine.
The majority of my site is based off of a template, but even when I remove all the template references in the html files from Notepad I am still having the same issue. My site renders fine and quickly however on Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
When loading any other site off the web into Dreamweaver I do not run into the problem so there must be something wrong with how my site is set up. Either the Template file is no good or somewhere else I am falling short. Can someone, please, please, please ( I am begging) help me figure out what is going on here.
My index file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/index.html and the template file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/Templates/index.dwt
I have searched high and low and even made a post on this same topic about a month ago but never came up with a resolution to my issue. I had given up on finding a solution to this problem for some time, but I really need to figure out where I am going wrong here!
Additional Details -
I am running - Windows Vista Ultimate on a Core 2 Processor with 12 GB of Ram & Solid State Hard Drive. Everything on my system runs super smoothly except loading my site in Dreamweaver CS4 design view.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I have used CS2 Adobe GoLive to create and manage a website (pro-prosperity.com). Now, I have CS4 Dreamweaver. I got a new site set up on Dreamweaver using the site management facility. I then have the contents of website available locally on Dreamweaver. I can edit files. But the main home page, index.html, is not displaying on design view mode for editing, although it displays everything on live view mode. I have struggled for days and am not getting any difference in attributes of index.html and another .html that is displaying fine on design view and is editable.
I am really lost and am begging for any help. Can you, for example, copy the home page from pro-prosperity.com and display on design view and edit it? Please tell me what is in this file that is troublesome. Thanks.
The first thing you should do is to make sure that this feature is turned on (it's off by default):
View > Code View Options > Highlight Invalid Html
It's not perfect, but it will notify you of some problems. In Code View, there are many problems highlighted. Some of them don't make sense, but are triggered because of a problem with a parent tag.
Be sure to make a backup copy of your file before doing the next step. Close your page. Go to Preferences > Code Rewriting, and turn on "Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags", "Remove extra closing tags", and "Warn when fixing or removing tags". Click OK, then re-open your page. The messages in the dialog to tell you what was changed. This allowed me to see your page in Design View (I am using CS5).
Note: I suggested that you reset your preferences to turn off those 3 settings as they can cause problems with some markup.
In the long term, I suggest that you avoid nesting tables wherever possible.
Hope this helps,
Randy

See the box model in Design View

This is probably a simple question but I can't seem to figure this out or find out about it in the help.sometines when I'm working on a page element the margnins and padding are shown in the design view window. most often they are not visable. How can I choose to show the margin and paddign of elements in the Design view? I have the View>visua laids>box model selected. It only shows up seemingly randomly.
I suspect there is a keyboard combination or something I need to invoke so I can have control over shwoing the margin and padding when I want to see it.
thanks for any help.

Should show up if you click the border of a container. Then if you want to see that actual measurements hover over the border again.

Custom Canvas Shape visible in design view of flex builder

I have a library which has custom controls. I have a BubbleCanvas class with the following constructor.
      super();
      var style:CSSStyleDeclaration;
      this.setStyle("backgroundImage", canvasBackground);
      this.setStyle("backgroundSize", "100%");
      var btnSave:LinkButton = new LinkButton();
      style = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
      style.setStyle("horizontalCenter", 0);
      style.setStyle("bottom", 20);
      btnSave.label = "save";
      btnSave.styleDeclaration = style;
      btnSave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnSave_Click);
      this.addChild(btnSave);
      var btnClose:LinkButton = new LinkButton();
      style = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
      style.setStyle("horizontalCenter", 0);
      style.setStyle("top", 5);
      btnClose.label = "close";
      btnClose.styleDeclaration = style;
      btnClose.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClose_Click);
      this.addChild(btnClose);
      this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, BubbleForm_CreationComplete);
      this.width = 600;
      this.height = 300;
canvasBackground is a png image with transparency so that the form is shaped like a
conversation bubble.
Now at run time everything works great, what I would like is to have the control
look like a conversation bubble in the design view of flex.
Oh I only want actionscript code, since the flex sdk controls are all
actionscript. This is partly acedemic for me.
Thanks,
Greg

> The content is there, but not the 'look' we have created.
PS how are you referencing the CSS styles? Don’t forget in design view it DW and Contribute will not run any dynamic variables i.e. #stylePath#/this.css you have to use absolute paths. This is sometimes a common issue in deisgn view.

Design View differs from Live view problem

I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 with Mac OS 10.7.3 on an iMac. I have the same set-up on a Macbook Pro 17
The problem is that the Design view is showing different fonts and not picking up layout as per CSS style but the Live view is all correct.
All is fine on the laptop so it is my iMac specific glytch
I have checked the settings for diplaying CSS styles and they are ticked
I have switched off the activation settings for Suitcase Fusion 3 in case of conflict there
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver
I think it a font-related problem as the design view only seems to want to display non-serif fonts.
Am I doomed to only use the lap-top in my web work?
I hope someone can advise as I am rather frustrated

I think that's just the way it is...
