Halloween Invisibles and Design Mode

Hmmmmm.....3.1.681
I programatically make a button visible/invisible via:
setOldPart_btn.setVisible(false);
and this works fine when I run the application. ( The default is invisible on instantiation of the frame )
But... SURPRISE... when I am in the IDE and go to the DESIGN MODE, the button shows up in the structure pane (as text) BUT IT'S GONE FROM THE DESIGN MODE frame! And I while I can pick it from the structure pane and see the properties... it doesn't appear in the Design Mode frame and I can't find a property to make it visible again from the IDE.
Suggestions?

Hmmmm... is this "traditional" in other application development tools, where an "invisible" component is also invisible on the IDE's "form designer"? I would have thought that invisible components would show up for the developer?
I judge from your response that 5.0 will have the 'visible' property for editing, but by default the component still wouldn't show in the DESIGN frame?
grin It kinda makes sense, depending upon ones point of view.

Preview and design mode issues

I would like to report a couple of glitches in Muse.
Problem #1:
I had a pair of photos that I added some text with in a separate text box. I had problems with alignment, so I put the photos into a slideshow with the text:
I hit enter to space everything out properly, and a portion of the text moves above where I want it, and overlaps existing text, and the column shrinks:
If I hit enter again, then delete, the text moves back to where I want it to go.
Problem #2:
On occasion, when I preview a page I am designing, it looks jumbled with text in places I never put it and opacity is reduced, like it's under layers. I deleted all text on the page and re-previewed with no difference in how it appeared, text still jumbled and out of place with text I just deleted. I revert to last saved and luckily that fixes it, but it sets me back a few steps. I didn't save any screen shots from that fiasco, but I did with the next one that occurred:
in Design mode I added the red links on the left of the Home page like this:
Preview showed a mess with the text I have on the master page like this, no links, and nav tabs placed above everything:
I have sent this to Adobe for a response with my export file and screen shots and haven't heard anything back yet.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Chad

I have updated Muse to
Realease version
V2.2, build 6, CL 770942
AIR Runtime: 3.4.0.2540
I made some changes to the "Animal Facts" page,
Saved it, Exported it, then uploaded it to my server.
What is shown in "Plan mode" is consistent with what I have designed, but I can't get it
to publish that way:
Now the changes that I made aren't showing up in the Firefox preview when exported, the Firefox view once published, or the preview within Muse.
Further the screen that shows up I can't find on the "Design mode" to change or delete it:

Hi,
I've been having this same issue: Open Flex 3 milestone 4
--> Create New Project --> Click Finish --> Click on the
Design Mode Tab --> Crash!
I've checked the error log and my name only has the
characters: (1, a, e, n, p, y). None of these, from what I can
find, are
high ASCII or 2-byte characters.
Here
is a screenshot of the error message/window that comes up.
Here is the
error log that is generated. (I'm not sure if there is more
info in this than I should be posting, please let me know if i
should remove this).
Anyway, this error is pretty frustrating and is causing me
some substantial grief at work. Any help and/or tips would be
appreciated.
Thanks,

Computed column and design mode

If I have a computed field in my ViewObject (the town-name returned by a stored procedure from the town-code), and I want to create a RowSetInfo object w/ the abovementioned view as QueryInfo.
In the queryInfo window if I select the source as this view, I cannot navigate to the Selection Order tab. The tab is active, but the definition is visible: http://195.228.152.68/~tib/query.gif
The expression for the townname is the following:
town_sp.to_name(Partner.towncode)
If I cannot use computed field like this, what can I do?
Thx:

Hi!
I have read about SWC and Library Projects and have tried it out, but I need some schema how to extend DataGrid. Which methods to override.
For example: Where should I add columns, how to add inspectable properties, like for example visible column1 or visible column2, and then how to refresh preview in Design Mode.
I'm searching for book about writing custom component with DataGrid example. Found one or two books on amazon, but nothing about DataGrid.
What I'm trying to do is to add Remote Object to my DataGrid that will pull some data from server and then it will populate it.
It is not so hard to do in standard application, but I want to try to do it inside a custom component.
Any samples will be cool
Thanks for help to all!

Help! Split and Design modes in Dreamweaver CS5 is disabled.

The first time I launched Dreamweaver CS5 I didn't like the default code / design view my files appeared in. So I choose a preference setting where files appear in a single pane in code view. Unfortunately I don't remember where this setting is located. I'm not sure if this is the culprit but I somehow lost the ability to toggle Split, Design, Live Code, Live View, and Inspect on any web file (.html, .htm, .asp, etc.). Could someone help me figure out how to enable these modes?

I am having the same problem, except the solution suggested by John Waller isn't working for me.
I opened a .css file and was prompted by a suggestion above the code/design windows stating "Inspect mode is most useful with certain workspace settings." and I clicked the "Switch now" option to which I was trapped in a code only mode without the option to edit anything other than css!
Please help.
Best,
Nela

Where is the Components Panel and the Design Mode button in FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium?

I'm new to FlashBuilder. I've been using many years just Flash and now I'm switching to FlashBuilder. I've seen some tutorials, but the Interface in my copy of the program do not match the one in the tutorials. I could't find the componets Panel and the Design Mode button. Any ideea why?
My Laptop runs on Windows 7. FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium is via Creative Cloud:
SnapShot from Tutorials I've seen
SnapShot From my application
with yelow i've marked the place with the "Components View" and the "Design" mode button
whith that red line I've marked the place where the "Design" mode button is expected
I've notice the following menu:
Whe you click on Views: Window->Show Views->Other... an interactive dialog appears with the tree of views available. Above there is a textField where you can enter a filter. As you type the text, the tree updates accordingly, after each letter.
I've searched for the Components panel ... surprise!!!
nothing on filter
filtering for Outline View
filtering for Component View
the tree complete
the tree finds the Outline View
the tree is already empty
As you notice the list of views is empty even before I finish the spelling of the word "Component".
Is there something I should configure, or this feature is not available in this particular distribution ?

I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
Strange...
The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
Will be available with a future update?
Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
Will never be available?
I belive this features are not important for advanced users... but I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support.

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.

Pie Charts causing Design mode to give warning and not preview the app

I am using the final release. I have pie charts in my app. I
also have column charts. Both are fed data the same way. Both work
as expected when i build the app, and there are zero errors in the
app. however, i was experiencing an issue in flexbuilder where in
design mode, a vague warning was issued and the preview could not
be displayed (blank except for very gernal 'outlines' of the layout
and controls)
I narrowed the problem down to the pie charts. Is anybody
experiencing this problem? The application worked as expected, and
previewed as expected in Design mode when previewd/built in Beta
3.

Hi masavran,
For this issue, it's related to the render environment (browser/application). On Reporting Services side, we don't have any properties to change the resolution for chart to make it smoothly. We suggest you post this thread on Visual Studio forum
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=visualstudiogeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
Or the forum of corresponding browser.

Looks good in design and preview mode, online there is box in lower right corner! How to find box and delete it?

www.nssgranite.com
Online, scrolling down and to the right, there is a white box that is linked to a different web site of mine. I don't want that box to be there, but I can't find it in design mode nor preview mode when working with the Muse program. Where is it?? I want to delete it!!

Thank you. However, I went in, expanded every single layer and did not see anything that was missing it's "eye". I clicked and unclicked everything that was a rectangle and found one rectangle that didn't seem to have representation on the screen. I deleted this rectangle from the layers box, uploaded the site to the internet hoping for the best, and unfortunately this did not solve the problem.
I wonder, should I just create a new page from scratch to replace this page?
I don't know if you've seen my other question, but this isn't the only problem I am having with my Muse site. The layout is distorted on all but a select size of screen, and most likely I am going to have to revamp things quite a bit to make them work on the average computer display.
Thank you for any further suggestions because I am totally open to other thoughts on this!!

Design mode could not load ... It may be incompatible...:FB4 Beta 2 and Flex SDK 4.1

Hello,
ever since I upgraded to the latest nightly builds about two weeks ago (SDK 4.1) I get the error mentioned above, and the design mode of Flash Builder 4 Beta 2 doesn't work any more:
Design mode could not load he.enwipe.core.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)
Design mode could not load PureMVC_AS3_MultiCore_1_0_5.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)
and also all other "swc" inside my project that do not come directly from the SDK or Flash Builder.
Any ideas what could be the cause?

Hi,
Did you switch your projects build option to merge into code rather than have runtime libraries generated.
David.
[edit'] I really should sleep a bit more- I miss read the question, but you will probably need to break down your project to see what the issue is mxml by mxml, one thing is that any mxml headers need to halo name space renamed to mx.
as below -
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

Design Mode Stopped Showing Images and Text

I've been working in Dreamweaver MX for quite a few years;
and I've had this website for over a year. Just recently I
downloaded IE7 and this caused many Javascript errors. I
uninstalled IE7 and these errors are resolved.
My problem is that on almost every one of my pages the design
mode only shows the background image. I made no changes to these
pages; it just stopped working. I've tried searching for broken
tags, and I can't find any.
I downloaded MX patch 6 and installed it today, but it didn't
resolve the issue. I also noticed that my HTML docs are now changed
to XHTML and I"m not sure HOW that happened!

If my memory serves me correctly, MX didn't write the correct
code for
the DOCTYPE, so when you installed the update, it corrected
the code on
your page.

Design-Mode and Preview differ a lot

On one of my pages the design mode does not show the same as in the browser. (The space between image and text). I wonder, what failed to do.
Anyone an idea? Thanks for response.
design mode
preview mode

Please check if any scroll is applied with key position as it comes in preview , additionally have you tried pinning the content on page ?
Thanks,

Elements in Design Mode and Preview Mode are Different

I've encountered an irritating problem in Muse. The elements arranged in design mode are shifting erratically in preview mode. I'm trying to set up "buy" links for my client's CDs using amazon, cdbaby, itunes icons. The buy buttons are place below the audio player widget from MuseGrid. Right now they are just pics - no hyperlinks attributed. If anyone has advice, I'd be grateful as this problem is driving me nuts and costing me hours!!! I am using the

Hi,
Please try grouping the objects on the page. It resolved such issues in most cases.

Responsive design mode is showing part of pages and is not showing any optomized pages even in safe mode.

I need to check multiple websites everyday for responsive design. When I open Responsive design mode I am getting full pages on every site, even ones I know are mobile opt. No matter how I scale it everything remains exactly as it is. I have to scale it to the far right to get the whole page. Basically the pages are always in full screen and I'm getting a window that only allows me to see part of a page. It is very frustrating.
Win xp
firefox V28.0
I am not a coder so please keep solutions simple.

From your screenshot, it seems to be working, as that grey bar has appeared at the top (with a link to the mobile version of the site). This only appears when the viewport width is 800px or less. This support website doesn't shrink dynamically (as the viewport gets smaller), but remembers whether your machine has a small screen or not (probably by storing a cookie which is changed when you click the link in the grey bar).
If you are having trouble with other sites, have you tried refreshing the page after resizing? When I have created responsive websites I often have to use JavaScript for a few features, and it simply isn't worth the processing power to make the code run every time the window size changes. Other than that I can't see what would be causing the problem (unless there is other important information you may have missed out)

DW mode Design OK and design live not OK

Hi
1) I think it is a problem of setting but i don't find where ?. When I select "Design" mode i can see the page with css enable and when select "design+ live" mode i can't see the css apply ?
2) Does use spry and coldfusion in 2014 make sense in bussiness ?
3) Is there more jobs for integrator HTML css js than coldfusion ( FrontEnd)   ?
regard's

I think we may have a bit of a language barrier here so I'll try to clarify the best I can.
1) ColdFusion is a server-side programming language.   Not sure what that has to do with PhoneGap Build -- a service for compiling mobile phone apps to play on Androids, iPhones, Blackberries, etc....
Adobe PhoneGap Build
2) Spry was abandoned in late 2012 well after CS6 came out. So to answer your question why is Spry still in CS6? Because CS6 is an old product that is no longer updated. It is now 4 versions back from the current Creative Cloud release - CC ver (2014.1).
3) Widgets? Do you mean the now defunct Widget Browser?   Widget Browser was replaced with the Adobe Exchange / Add-ons page.
Adobe Exchange
4) Catalyst? I assume you mean Business Catalyst -- a unified platform for building and hosting online business websites... It's still alive.
