Hotspot Property Inspector issues

I am trying to create hotspots on a navigation bar that I designed and am stuck...new to Fireworks and am using the trial version.
I create a nav bar in Photoshop and exported it as a .gif.
I placed the gif into my Web site using Dreamweaver.
Instead of manually going to each and every page of my site within Dreamweaver and creating hotspots and pop up menus, I thought I might automate the process in Fireworks and therefore only have to create hotspots and pop up menus once.
So I'm in Dreamweaver, click on my .gif file and say edit with Fireworks.
I have no trouble creating the hotspot in Fireworks.
The place I run into trouble is within the property inspector. When I try to link the hotspot to page on my site, none of my pages are showing up as an option in the link box. When I click on the arrows it's blank.
I'm sure I have done this the long way, but I'm figuring it out as I go and this seemed pretty easy thus far.

Are you trying to add the links within Fireworks? You will have to manually type the links into the link field unless your Fireworks PNG file has other pages in it which represent the web site.
If the graphic is "locked down" and isn't going to change visually, it will be faster if you create the hotspots in Dreamweaver. You can then save the entire asset as a Library item which can then be added to each page. If you need to edit the hotspots, you can do it within the Library item and the change will propagate across all web pages.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Property inspector not loading

Hi
Newbie question. I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects. I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector. Nothing happens! All the other toolbars etc load fine.
Would this be a security issue?
Cheers

Hi,
Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

Property inspector not appearing

When i design a shape(a rectangle for example) the property inspector appears in the borrom of fireworks window.
If i import though a picture the property inspector does not appear.
Why that?
How i can fix this issue and the property inspector be appearing in the case also where an image is imported?
Or this cannot be done by definition in Fireworks.
Thanks.

There's always a way. It just may not be very "automatic" and depends on the bitmap you're trying to replicate.
In FW, you can trying using the bitmap selection tools to select various bitmap elements, then choose Select > Convert Marquee to Path.
Or you can use the vector tools to manually trace over the bitmap.
In AI, there is an Live Trace feature but depending on the complexity of your bitmap, you may not get exactly what you want, so manually editing/tweaking will be needed. Indeed you may end up with a far more complicated vector than you expect. You'll definitely need to experiment with this feature and the Live Paint counterpart to get what you want.
I believe Flash also has a trace feature.

Scale in Property inspector

Hi,
I have recently got the Flash bug.
To my regret, I experience some difficulties in mastering
Flash. There are a few reasons. For example, one of them I am
afraid that the help and tutorials of Flash do not cover all my
enquiries on this program and I am forced to seek assistance
outside.
I hope that Flash forum will serve as a reliable support in
my learning this program.
Alongside with a stroke color, style and weight that can be
selected for the Pencil Tool as well as the Oval Tool, the
Rectangle Tool, the Ink Bottle Tool, the Pen Tool and the Line Tool
using the Property inspector (Window > Properties), there is
available one more option on the Property inspector-Scale. It beats
me for the whole week what is Scale intended for and what do
Normal, Horizontal and Vertical under Scale mean?
Would you please enlighten me on a matter noted above?
Awaiting your soonest response.
Best regards.

There are no quality issues so long as you scale the text proportionally. There may be other text-related caveats, depending upon VERSION and the specifics of your objects. For example, some versions of Illustrator scale tab stops in an absolutely bizarre manner.

Problem with Spry Property Inspector in DW CS5

Hi - I saw a similar post to my issue but with no replies or resolution. This issue just started happening out of the blue. After inserting a spry menu bar into a page, I will click on the blue tab above the menu bar widget to show the property inspector for the menu bar. When the property inspector opens, all of the fields and settings are crammed to the left of the Property Inspector window and it is impossible to make any modifications to the menu bar without going into the code. I hope that someone can provide a solution or suggestion.

Am I over reaching on this?
Transitions are for slideshows. What you're describing sounds more like a Flash site.
Maybe a modal window would work for you.
Look at Fancy Box
Works well with text, images, iframes, and just about anything else you throw at it.

Return focus to custom property inspector?

Hello,
I'm working on a Dreamweaver CS3 extension that includes
custom property inspector for 'div' tag with specific attributes.
Using the custom inspector modifies part of the body and head
code on the web page. Here's the issue: modifying script code
between head tags makes the property inspector lose focus. I've
tried to return the focus back to original div tag to redisplay the
custom property inspector, but I get default 'div' inspector
instead of the custom one. I'd like to get the custom property
inspector back so the user can keep using the controls on it
without noticing the focus loss.
Here's the code that focuses back on original 'div' tag:
dom.setSelectedNode(originalDivTagReference);
and here's the header for custom property inspector:

Thank you very much,
Rudi

Which OS?
Which version of DW?

Font drop-down menu in the Property Inspector

Hello,
I am having an issue with the drop-down menu in the Property
inspector panel that I can't figure out.
I searched the forum and found 1 related topic, but it
doesn't answer the question that I have.
I am currently reading a book on Dreamweaver. In the lesson
that I have it says to choose the size 24 from the drop-down menu
in the Properties panel, but there isn't a size 24. All I see is 1
to 7, +1 to +7 and -1 to -7.
In the topic that I found in the forum is a picture of two
different views of the font sizes:

How do you change which way Dreamweaver displays this list?
I am currently using version CS3 for Windows on Vista.
Any help, greatly appreciated,
Cathy

PREFERENCES | General > Use CSS instead of HTML Tags.
Now look at the Size field in the Property inspector.

Unable to open Property Inspector in Reports Builder

Hi all,
We are facing a strange problem
We have a big report with lot of functionality
When I open the file in reports builder and try to open the property inspector of a Formula Column, the reports builder is getting hanged for a few seconds and then getting closed automatically.
The same rdf was working fine till date. There is no change in the rdf.
At the same time the report is working fine. We are not facing any problem in getting the report.
What could be the problem?
We badly need your help
Thanks,
Krrish

Maybe some memory issues. Remove or disable some services temporarily or try to open this report on computer which has more ram.

Property Inspector doesn't list all available events

I've noticed that JDev doesn't list all of the available events for a given swing component. For example, I created a JFrame, and added a JButton and a JTextField to it. As I'm looking at the property inspector for the JTextField, it shows me only the following events:
componentAdded
componentHidden
componentMoved
componentResized
componentShown
mouseClicked
mouseDragged
mouseEntered
mouseExited
mouseMoved
mousePressed
mouseReleased
propertyChange
There should be a lot more, such as keyPressed, keyTyped, etc. What's up with this?
Thank you,
Brian D. Brown

The behaviour described does not appear in our most recent builds, so you can expect it to function properly in the
next available release. Until then, your work around should alleviate the issue. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

Property inspector not working correctly

The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
Thanks!

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
bad for productivity.

Adding a custom field to the property inspector in JDev 10.1.3

Hello All
I have a requirement where i have to add some custom entries to the property inspector.Say if we choose a text field in html there will be some standard values in property inspector.Now i want to add my own custom entry always on selection of text field.
Or i am developing a custom editor and i always want property inspector to display some values on certain selections.
I already went through the code samples provided for jdev 10.1.3 but i couldnt find one for property inspcetor.I also went through the oracle.ide.* packages.Could someone provide me a class or method from where i can start ???
Thanks in advance !!!

I was able to find the ide.jar file which contains all the necessary oracle.ide.* class files.
I had another query....basically there are 2 kinds of packages of the form javax.ide.* and oracle.ide.*
So suppose im faced with the situation of say adding menu items and defining actions on them then i guess it can be done in 2 ways using classes in javax.ide or oracle.ide.Can you elaborate how i should choose between these 2 packages.
Is it if im using the <jdeveloper-hook> i shud use oracle.ide.* and the regular jsr 198 schema then the javax.ide.*
Kindly clarify !!!! Thanks in advance

Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector

Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you

When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file. Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

Dreamweaver Help | Set text properties in the Property inspector

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/set-text-properties-property-inspector.html

The note at the bottom of the first section (About formatting text (CSS versus HTML)) says -
"You can combine CSS and HTML 3.2 formatting within the same page. Formatting is applied in a hierarchical manner: HTML 3.2 formatting overrides formatting applied by external CSS style sheets, and CSS embedded in a document overrides external CSS."
Please be aware that embedded CSS will ONLY override external CSS if the external CSS link is closer to the tag than the embedded CSS (i.e., it comes earlier in the flow of the document). If the embedded CSS comes first in the flow of the document, it will be overridden by the external CSS instead.

Not able to change values in the Property Inspector

Hello!
Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
Thanks!

Hi Ringerz,
I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
switch to List Viw
Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
reopen. Think it's jus a
bug that hasn't been fixed yet.
