DW89 Design Mode Disappears

I am using Dreamweaver 8 for Mac (from Studio *) on a G-5,
2,5 dual. Version of DW is 8.2
When updating content in an existing site, on a rather long
page, I found that the lower half of the page simply disappeared. I
could not bring it on the screen in design mode. The HTML was
there, but nothing in design.
I finally switched back to MX version and was able to see the
entire page and finish my work.
Anyone experience similar problem?
Any suggestions?

Nice workaround, David!

  • When snapping a rectangle to the top of the page left space between rectangle disappears in the preview (not in the design mode)

    I think the image looks more descriptive than my words actually.. When I move the first rectangle to the top of the page the gradient background disappear in the preview (on the right side of the screen), even though I still can see that in my Design Mode (left handside). Everytime the top rectangle snaps to the top of the page the second rectangle snaps to the first one in the preview (both muse preview and browser preview)...Any help?

    Seems you have applied scroll on second rectangle with key position setup on top of the page edge as a result when page edge is reached the second rectangle scrolls up on the page.
    If this is not the case then please provide more details.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Table disappears in design mode

    i have a table that is disappearing in design mode. i am
    copying and pasting content (text) into the cells manually,
    specifically dealer information NAME, CITY, PHONE. well i am almost
    done with adding the content but now the bottom of the table is
    disappearing when i click in a cell to paste the content. the
    strange thing is that only the portion that is on screen actually
    disappears. if i scroll up, i can see the table and its contents.
    it seems that the screen refreshes and i can scroll back down and
    the table has reappeared. but once again, as soon as it click in
    the cell, it's gone.
    i thought this might be because the table is so long (3
    columns wide by 300 + long). am i right?
    i have a gig of RAM and only two programs running, so memory
    shouldn't be the problem.
    Please Help!!!

    Mac? Use the Zoom Percent field to set the zoom to 101% and
    see if that
    helps.

  • 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

  • Component Panel ( Design mode) loosing custom components

    Wonder if anyone else encounter this phenomenon?
    After placing custom Flash components ( compiled intoa SWC
    file) in the project's <Libs> directory, they are available
    and working in Source mode, but you can't see them in the custom
    Folder (In the Design Mode). Only after closing and opening the
    project they appear.
    However, they keep disappearing ( randomly) from the folder,
    and only after Open/Close project they reappear. Other custom
    components such as MXML modules behave ok.
    As far as the application these components work fine and are
    recognized by the compiler.
    I'm using Stand Alone, FB3 version 1201207; on WXP Sp2.
    ( Reported this as a bug
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11554
    Did anyone else experienced this (similar) behavior ?

    Same problem here. Except I have even less luck getting it to
    consistently appear than you. Sometimes it works great, other times
    they vanish and nothing I can do to get them to return. MXML
    modules seem fine.. it's just with the Flash SWC files. Plus
    sometimes I have no visual indication in design view of the Flash
    module on my canvas, and other times it displays. (This is with no
    changes to the SWC file at all). But it always runs okay.

  • Design mode not available when creating or opening a php file - CS5

    I am not sure if this is a bug or not.  When I create a new php file, it opens in code view.  The options to view in design or code and design mode are disabled.  If I reset the workspace, does not matter which workspace I am in at the time, then the file is displayed in code and design mode but the options to view in design or code and design are disabled.
    If I select code view mode, the design view disappears (as expected) but there is no way to get to design or code and design without resetting the workspace.
    Is this considered normal operation?  The help system does not hint that there is a restriction on view modes for a PHP file.
    Thanks
    Walter

    Hi Walter,
    my DW opens always in that mode which I last worked in with a file and then closed DW. Did you already try this (tranlated from German DW):
    Preferences> General> Open new document at startup.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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:
    <!-- Begin
    // Set up the image files to be used.
    var theImages = new Array() // do not change this
    // To add more image files, continue with the
    // pattern below, adding to the array.
    theImages[0] = 'images/home-rotate-1.jpg'
    theImages[1] = 'images/home-rotate-2.jpg'
    theImages[2] = 'images/home-rotate-3.jpg'
    theImages[3] = 'images/home-rotate-4.jpg'
    theImages[4] = 'images/home-rotate-5.jpg'
    theImages[5] = 'images/home-rotate-6.jpg'
    theImages[6] = 'images/home-rotate-7.jpg'
    theImages[7] = 'images/home-rotate-8.jpg'
    theImages[8] = 'images/home-rotate-9.jpg'
    theImages[9] = 'images/home-rotate-10.jpg'
    theImages[10] = 'images/home-rotate-11.jpg'
    theImages[11] = 'images/home-rotate-12.jpg'
    theImages[12] = 'images/home-rotate-13.jpg'
    theImages[13] = 'images/home-rotate-14.jpg'
    theImages[14] = 'images/home-rotate-15.jpg'
    theImages[15] = 'images/home-rotate-16.jpg'
    theImages[16] = 'images/home-rotate-17.jpg'
    // do not edit anything below this line
    var j = 0
    var p = theImages.length;
    var preBuffer = new Array()
    for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
       preBuffer[i] = new Image()
       preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
    var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
    function showImage(){
    document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
    //  End -->
    The code (further down the page after the all the list elements) that generates the image:
               <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
    <!-- Begin
    showImage();
    //  End -->
    </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,

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Flash Builder Design Mode Bug Workaround (!!!)

    I've been fighting this annoyance since FB4 came out, and while I still don't think that custom/embedded fonts in design view are fixed by this, I've been able to reproduce this "fix" (workaround) to get design view to show fonts/theme correctly under some very specific circumstances on two separate PCs.
    If anyone from Adobe sees this I'd like to know whether this sounds familiar or is possibly logged as a bug already somewhere in JIRA.. if not I could probably do that as long as it won't be a wasted effort.
    The problem:
    You're using a Halo theme but certain CSS settings (specifically and possibly limited to FONTS) don't work properly in design view even though they work fine in Flash.  Essentially this makes design view practically useless since choice of font family, size, and weight can effect component sizing if you aren't hard-coding component sizes (ugh)... ruining your efforts to use design view for UI design if your UI has any level of complexity (or uses absolute positioning at all).
    The specific circumstances seem to be:
    You're using the Halo theme (you have no special 'skinning' requirements and want Halo defaults w/only CSS customizations)
    You've upgraded a Flex 3 project to Flex 4 SDK (not sure if this is needed to reproduce the issue)
    Using a regular non-embedded font (embedded fonts still do crap out, but even this 'workaround' doesn't fix that problem)
    You're using swc library files such as the Swiz lib, Mate, Flexlib, etc. (I think it's ANY swc, not specific to any one)
    This may also only apply when using an "mx only" project (no Spark), since we're using Halo here
    The two part fix (as far as I can tell you need BOTH before design view works correctly):
    In .actionScriptProperties, add the following bolded line after the compiler tag like so:
      </compiler>
      <theme themeIsDefault="false" themeIsSDK="true" themeLocation="${SDK_THEMES_DIR}/frameworks/themes/Halo"/>
      <applications>
      (I think this may only apply to 'upgraded' projects, as the line does seem to be present in newly created FB4 Halo projects.  My guess is that an "upgraded" project should have such a line added, but doesn't get it due to an oversight/bug.)
    The somewhat painful, and definitely odd part.  Remove all your SWC library files from /libs.  Grab the source code for the libraries and drop them into your project's /src folder as if you'd written them yourself.  (This may require some research and knowledge on special requirements to build the libs, such as with Swiz's compiler metadata compiler settings which you need to put into your project's settings.)  After you get things set up right and the project compiles again, doing a refresh of design view should finally give you proper looking Halo controls and fonts so they look identical to the Flash runtime view.
    Why this works, I've no idea.  I suspect it has something to do with that stupid and annoying (and supposedly 'harmless') design mode warning message you get when you include a library like Swiz or Mate in your project.  (Design mode could not load xxxxxxxxxxxxx.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)) - this warning doesn't break your application, people seem to think it's just a harmless warning..but is it breaking design view?
    If anyone has any idea what's going on here, why this 'fixes' the problem (a better work around), or has any other insight I'd love to hear it.  The combo of needing to do two things (in my specific case) to fix the problem really made this a ROYAL PAIN, I still can't believe I found it.

    Hi Fernando, sorry for the delayed response.  CSS Design Mode is not available for Flex 4 projects, but it is still available in Flex 3 projects.  The reason for this is that designing components in Flex 4 is often a lot different, since it relies highly on the new spark skinning architecture.  There is, however, an Appearance panel available in design view which supplies a set of the main inheriting styles. Setting these styles in the Appearance panel will result in assigning values to a global style selector.
    I hope this helps,
    Rob
