Flex 3 Design view disappears

I have recently downloaded Flex Builder 3 for a trial. I have
been happily exploring and building simple apps and suddenly I
can't see the design view in any project or application. When I
click the "Design" tab I see a grey blank area with no visible
components.I unistalled/reinstalled the product but the problem
remains. Am i overlooking something simple being a newbie or has
anyone else had or is havin tghe same problem.

Custom Components and Properties in Flex Builder Design View

How do I create a custom component with custom properties
that renders well in Flex Builder design view?
This is a simple HelloWorld example of what I am trying
below. Here is the HelloWorld.mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="500" height="500">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var message:String;
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:Label x="100" y="100" text="{message}" />
</mx:Canvas>
And then when I use it in another mxml file, the design view
does not show the label with the 'Hello World' value - instead it
just shows {message} in design view where the label is located.
When I run it as a compiled app in flash, the 'Hello World' is
displayed correctly:
-- HelloWorldTest.mxml --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:views="mypackage.*" width="500" height="500">
<views:SimpleLine message="Hello World."/>
</mx:Canvas>

design view does not do any variable assignments or function
evaluations, so you won't be able to see it even if you don't use a
custom component.

Flex Builder Design View programmatic skinning

I am writing programmatic skins, by extending
ProgrammaticSkin class. If i apply these skins to mx:Button, i can
see the skin in Flex Builder design view. But when i style my
custom component with programmatic skins, Flex Builder design view
does not show the skin, though the skin is applied when i run the
application. Is there a way for me to write my custom classes
(class Node extends UIComponent), and apply skins, so that i can
see the skins in Flex Builder design view.

Actually I found the answer to my question. You can find it
in my blog.

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 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.

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).

Why does some text disappear in Design View?

Hi,
I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
Thanks.
Kara

You have some issues, however I dont know if they are related. You have two opening <html> tags....thats not good. I would suggest you fix your validation issues first, see if that doent help, if it does not, let us know.

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

I have a component like the following and it completely crashes the design view in flex builder

I have a component like the following and it completely crashes the design view in flex builder.I can see anything in the layout. Everything compliles fine and looks normal in the outline view. Any ideas whats wrong. If I remove the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup's all looks fine
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Panel x="353" y="34" width="1159" height="505.7" maxWidth="663" allowDrag="true" allowResize="true" allowClose="true" allowMaximize="true" allowMinimize="true" resizeEffect="Resize" moveEffect="Move" close="parent.removeChild(this)" maxHeight="680" layout="absolute" title="Back office list" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

            </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup>
        </mx:columns>
    </mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
</mx:Panel>

Nikos,
When using grouped columns you should change the <mx:columns> to <mx:groupedColumns>, I ran this example in a sandbox app and it works fine.
EXAMPLE:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="deals" displayItemsExpanded="true" dataProvider="{flatData}" width="100%" height="373"
        sortExpertMode="true" variableRowHeight="true" headerStyleName="smallHeader" editable="false" fontWeight="normal">
       <mx:groupedColumns>
            <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn width="75">
            </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
            <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup headerText="Client side">
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="customer" headerText="Mon Ref" width="60" editable="true" wordWrap="true" showDataTips="true" textAlign="center"/>
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="product" headerText="MC Pr" textAlign="center" wordWrap="true" width="70">
                </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
            </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup>
            <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup headerText="Bank side">
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="revenue" headerText="Bank Ref" width="70" editable="true" wordWrap="true"
                    showDataTips="true" textAlign="center"/>
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="cost" headerText="Bank Pr" width="55" editable="true" wordWrap="true" showDataTips="true" textAlign="center"/>
            </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup>
        </mx:groupedColumns>
    </mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

Create a flex 'design view'

Hi
is it possible to create a page using flex 3 which is similar to the design view in the flex builder.
essentially what we are planning to do is that we want to provide the user an ability to design a page.
Does flex provide the users the design view as a component that can be used in a page.

Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form> </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

Adding an html comment causes entire table to disappear in CC Design view

Doing some tweaks to a page in the html editor in DW CC and adding a simple comment  causes the extensive table beneath it to disappear from the design view pane. But the html is still there in the html editor and the page still appears correctly in a browser. Refresh Design View does nothing. At first I kept Undo'ing it to get back to where I was before adding the comment. Then I thought maybe if I saved the doc after adding the comment it would refresh correctly, but it didn't. Quitting and rebooting DW doesnt help.
What gives? Now the Design view table is gone. I can't work like this, without seeing the page I'm working on...
I can make this same thing happen over and over - which seems to indicate a bug in DW CC...
I know you pro's are anti-tables but I'm stuck with tables right now...

Ok I understand about dl'ing files, np. Heres the page in progress: {link temporarily removed} with 2 duplicate table elements below the first, one in the center I was adjusting/adding comment DW has disappeared, the other at bottom intact for backup. Here's what the disappeared version looks like in DW:
CC:
The layout is simple and DW shouldn't prevent me from doing this: I know it could be done with div's and CSS but I'm not going to practice and perfect that for this right now, its already torture enough using DW for this simple thing. It needs to stay as nested tables.
Despite any method of working - adding a comment should not create this hassle.
Thanks for trying to help!

CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
templates for a while, often with several templates open
simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
to make the
links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
links, i.e., change
this -
