Docking the Properties Inspector toolbar to the top as it was in CS3 and every version before it

So far in CS4 I cannot find a way to dock the Property Insp. to the top
region of the UI - not in Dreamweaver and not in Fireworks? Am I missing
something?? Sure Adobe didn't disable the ability for the user to dock the
Inspector up at the top if he/she would like to do so!!!!!!
Any answers?
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks David. Love you, I buy your books, you rock.
I can't imagine a single reason to have disabled docking the toolbars ANYWHERE a user might want to. On a large monitor, I want that constantly-used tool to fall about middle to high in the natural level of my sight/eyeballs.
Here's the feature request I submitted for both Dreamweaver and Fireworks:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Docking the Property Inspector to the top like it has been for eternity.
How would you like the feature to work? Same as it has been for eternity.
Why is this feature important to you? I can't possibly imagine why Adobe would disable the Property Inspector being docked anywhere frankly, but to just arbitrarily remove it from docked where it always has been is an abject failure of good GUI design. My eyes don't rest naturally at the bottom of my monitor. They rest more naturally at the middle to top. So as often as one would be looking AT the Prop Insp. it needs to be in a location that my eyes tend to fall to the monitor.

Flash components and the properties inspector

Don't know if any of you have had experience in creating
components that
can have properties set using the properties inspector or
not, but here
we go.
I have several components which all have a 'data' property
that is an
Object in which a developer can store arbitrary data.
I have set this up in the component so that it will display
in the
properties inspector, thusly:
[Inspectable(name="Data")]
private var _data:Object;
Now, it does indeed appear in the inspector, but when I click
on the
field it brings up a box which then doesn't allow me to enter
any data
(see screenshot:
http://www.moloko.f2s.com/filetransfer/componentParams.png)
However, if I right-click on the symbol in the library, go to
Component
Definition, then click on the Data property in the Value
column, it
brings up a box that's a little bit more what I was expecting
in that it
contains the '+' and '-' buttons to allow me to add/delete
data, and
also some up/down arrows to allow me to move the data around
in the list
(see screenshot:
http://www.moloko.f2s.com/filetransfer/componentDefinition.png)
Anyone know what's going on with this? Is this a bug in the
Flash IDE or
am I doing something wrong??

The flashComponents are standard AS2 components, and you can look up their APIs in the Flash documentation. Here is the button docs:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00001977.html#3654189
Looking at that, there is a getStyle() method, and I just tested it out:
put sprite(1).getStyle("borderStyle")
-- "inset"
put sprite(1).getStyle("fontFamily")
-- "_sans"
put sprite(1).getStyle("color")
-- 734012.0000
I'm not real sure what that means (probably the hex color converted to a float), but you can change the color like this:
sprite(1).setStyle("color","red")
And here is a page that lists all the styles that are defined:

The Property Inspector is missing the V Space and H Space fields in DW6 - where did they go?

I just downloaded DW6. The Property Inspector is missing the V Space and H Space fields, therefore I am unable to add space around my images. Suggestions?

It is no longer available because the problem with that was that it applied spaces around the image rather than where the user actually wanted them. You now need to use CSS and apply margins and paddings and target exactly where you want them by using something like this:
img {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
img {
     border: 0;
     padding: 0;
The second style is generic to set margin and padding for all four sides.
Good luck.

The keyboard shotcut to top of page was Control+home and to bottom was control+end. Now I am running Windows 8.1 neither works. Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Untii now the keyboard shortcut to top of page was control+home and to end was control+end. Now I am running Windows 8.1 and Firefox Beta neither of these work. Neither does control++ or control+0. (They did not work before I upgraded Firefox while I was using W8.1). Is there any keyboard shortcut to get immediately to top and to end?

Home and End without the Ctrl key should be sufficient to go to the top and bottom of a page.<br />
You only need the Ctrl key if you are in a text area.
Do you otherwise have problems with scrolling a page?
Does the Ctrl key work otherwise?
Did you try a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling with no results.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export

My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic!

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

I had to do a system recovery with a prior date. now I get an error message: the file "iTunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a solution?

I know this is an old thread, but the information in it solved my current problem (Windows Vista, upgraded to iTunes 11.2 and resulted in this same .itl error message).
So, I'm here to thank turingtest2 for his excellent instructions to fix my problem. One of tt2's many detailed instructional tips). THANK YOU TURINGTEST2!
PS I'm generally reluctant to "mess with files and such, preferring to use Windows Restore, because it just doesn't seem right to me that end users of Apple devices should have to get into the guts of files and such. Sadly, I have finally just accepted that iOS updates never work right and I either have to deal with work-around fixes or never update. Eventually we do need to update or there will be other problems. All I can say is, I'm sure glad there are folks like turingtest2 here who spend so much time helping us.

Uninstalled Itunes because of issue, reinstalled with newest version, now it won't read my library. Error message "The itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"

Error message when opening itunes...The itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created in a newer version of itunes... how do i fix, it will not open with any of my ipod, ipad, iphone.

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I keep getting the message @itunes library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Itunes - I had to reset my computer due to a printer failure to an earlier version...

I keep getting the message'Itunes library cannot be read because it was started by a later version' - I had to recently reset my computer to an earlier version as I had a printer problem

Then you either need to upgrade iTunes again, or fish out the older version of your library from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside <Profile's Music>\iTunes) that corresponds to the older version of iTunes you are now using. You can rename the current .itl file as say iTunes Library (10.5).itl and then rename the copied file as iTunes Library.itl.

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
