Flex Builder 3 Design View Not Working

For some reason, the Design view has stopped working. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice with no luck restoring it. All I see is a blank page when switching from Source to Design view. Source view works fine.
Any help would be appreciated!

if your using the mozilla browser then close the mozilla browser. then try the design view .you will see the design view.
i dont know wat is the reason behind this but i was having the same problem then i started running my application on IE dont open the mozilla browser only.
to change the the default browser go to Windows->preperances->general->web browser and choose the browser and say ok.

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.

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.

Design View not working with skins

Hey,
Excuses, I posted this question earlier in the "general
discussion" topic.
I'm using Adobe Flex 2. I have a pretty big project. If I
open it, design view works. If I close Flex and open the same
project again, design view wont work. There aren't any
error-messages or warnings given. I have been able to track te
problem down to graphical skins in a CSS declaration. I have to
erase them, to make Design View work. Then, I paste the code back
again. This is very inconvienent. Is this a normal problem,
inherent to how Flex works. Is there an other, easier way around?
Thanks in advance!
Knut Nidelven
Here is the code that does the damage...:
.topBar {
fontFamily: Arial;
font-style: none;
fontWeight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
upSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_up.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
overSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_over.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
downSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedOverSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedDownSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
selectedUpSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_selectedUp.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");

Flex Builder 3 will not work on Mac

Flex Builder 3 & Mac OSX:
The hard disk on my mac failed, lost everything, including
Flex Builder 2. I installed a new hard disk, and downloaded the
"trial" of Flex Builder 3 (FB 3). The software seemed to install
fine(no errors in the install log).
However, when I run FB 3, the default front page does not
load, and tells me that the flash player as stopped because of a
un-safe operation. I think okay, that is fine, but I do like the
page with the links to the docs, and adobe resources. I try to
build an app, default just dragged a button on the stage, and
complied. However, the page does not compile. I only get the "grey"
page, with no button.
After this I re-installed the flash player (9.0.115), but
still no love. I have re-installed FB 3, but the same results.
I am using Mac OS X (power PC). Can anybody help me. I am a
student at the University of Hawaii, and I am teaching myself Flex.
I am thinking that the error might be with the flash player, and I
am trying to install flash CS3, thinking that if I can get the
stand alone flash player that way, maybe then this will work.
Please help,
John

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for all your help!
I just installed FB 3 again, but still no love, yikes! I
don't get it FB 2 was painless,...
I have the same issues, and safari does not handle any flex
apps, just a blank(grey page). Can I ask a favor? Can you check
this link, a flex charting app. It can view it perfectly in Camino,
but just a blank page in safari. Could you check this link in
safari?
http://cfhawaii.com/Charts/DrillDownWithEffects.html
I also still get the can't find the debugger player.
Maybe I need to take a on-line course(bring that I am in
hawaii) to learn how to get everything set up.
I send a bug report to adobe, and I am hoping that somebody
gets back to me, and can help me fix the problems, as I couldn't
even registrar FB3, I want to start learning flex, not dealing with
this.
Thanks so much for all your help`-`

Problem doing JSF tutorial - design view not working

Hi everyone.
I am fairly new to Java and followed the tutorial bellow to styart learning about it.
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/adf_richclient/adfrichclient.htm#o
I managed to finish the tutorial using the structure explorer because the design view wasn't working for me. Whenever I make a JSF Template and use it to make another JSF page, the design view does not shows the facet I've added, thus I cannot put any components using the design view. I basically fail to get the screen shown at #4 of the "Create a Page Using the Page Template" section in the tutorial.
Am I missing a configuration or something ?
Thanks.

I tried looking at the logs (with the option on) and didn't see anything. I'll continue to investiguate on this.
Here is the template code followed by the "child" page code. On the page code, I can't put anything inside the facet using the designer, but using the structure, I can.

Quickie: Design view not working

Hi all,
Not sure why, but design view (non-live) just shows a grey panel, or white if I focus on it.
If I turn Live View on, I can see everything but not edit it obviously. Split code/design doesn't work unless Live View is turned on.
No idea why this is, I'm an occassional user of DW (CS6 Win7). This is a site which I've created, edited and published before all on the same workstation.
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

First, validate your HTML and CSS code. Fix any reported errors. CS6 Design View is much less forgiving of coding errors than earlier versions were. A blank screen can be caused by missing semi-colons in your CSS, orphaned <div> tags, etc..
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If after cleaning your code you still have problems, upload your page and supporting files to your web server, come back here and post the URL so we can take a look at it.

Jsp Design view not working

For some reason I can't create or edit jsp files within the design view. I get a blank screen with the following text in the middle "Type, paste, or drag content onto this blank page, or drag and drop a component from the palette.
The weird thing is that a few jsp pages that I try to edit will work but most of them won't display anymore. They were working a day or so ago.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
I am running Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4 (SU5).
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shay,
I created a new jsf jsp page like the following:

JSP Design view not working in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3

Hi,
The problem I have is that my JSPs all throw a class not found error in design view when I load them. The problem is related to the useBean tag (see error example).
Error exercising tag : jsp:useBean
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com......client.jsp.testclass
The application is divided into a web project, an EJB project, and a server classes project. The JSPs are in the web project and the problem classes are in the server classes project. I'm limited to source view editing of JSPs due to this and the problem is only in the IDE, deployment of the code to the server is fine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Kaitain

I think they are but I could be mistaken, as the libraries list for the web project shows the server classes as a library.

Design View not working in DW CS5

I have one .html file that displays the following in Design View:
The code is all there, and if I view it in Live Code then all the content is visible. Here is what Live View looks like:
Here is the current web page: Pennsylvania Philharmonic Subscription Series, spring 2015
I tried "getting" the still-working file from remote, but the issue.
I saw similar posts that recommend turning off "Head Content", but it was never on and that doesn't help. I have shut down, re-booted. Using Windows 7.
All my other files for this site are fine. Just this one.
Any help is appreciated!!

Those yellow tr td tags mean your table code is malformed. Browsers can forgive some html errors and certain browsers are better than others at guessing what you meant when they run into problems. DW is showing you that you have structural defects in your code, which is one of the biggest causes for display issues in the browsers.
Visit http://validator.w3.org to get a complete listing of your html errors and clean them up.

"Type,paste or drag and drop content onto this blank...."
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback.
Lost page interface. may help to avoid the execution of the filter code at Design Time.

Design View Not Working Properly

Hi, I save my web site files as .php and I'm using DW CS5. When I switch to Design View all I get are a couple of icons. Why won't it display the page for me?

Save file as 'test.html'
If you still cannot see anything in design view, use the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If you're still not seeing anything in Design View, post your code into the web forum with >> Syntax highlighting > Plain.
Code in the web forum looks like this.

"Design View" not working in CS3 on Vista...

I just installed DWCS3 on Vista. ALl pages open up in "Code
View" and when you try to switch to "Design View" it gives an error
and shuts down. If you try to navigate through "Code View" the
cursor just stays in one spot...
...re-booting seems to help, but then it'll happen again
every few times the program starts up.
Anyone else having this problem, or know what to do about
it???
Thanks!

Can you show us the code on the page?
