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.

Edge poster image no longer visible in design mode

Just updated to Muse 2014.3
In design mode the preview of Edge Animations has been replaced with the "Eg" icon.
The animations works just fine but it is more difficult to place them properly without a preview image.
I checked the Edge Animation file to make sure that the poster image was selected.

Yes, it came down to something corrupted with OS X as suddenly I started getting the long grey progress bar every time I booted OS X (no problems when booting Windows 7 on the Boot Camp partition).
Disk Utility could not repair it and for some reason I couldn't boot off a USB drive that I had setup as a recovery drive, so I couldn't repair it via Disk Warrior nor TechTool (I misplaced the boot DVDs over the years of moving).
Since this was my laptop that I only use when I'm on the road, all my important information was synced to my desktop Mac so I just started over and reformatted the entire hard drive and reinstalled everything (it gave me the opportunity to try out 10.7 preview release on a clean install as well as I wanted to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 7 anyways) and now everything works fine, including Target Disk mode.

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:

Custom button skin with scaleGrid 9 slice image does not appear in Design Mode

So in a custom button skin I have a nine sliced image, and then throw that onto an MXML page. In design view, I cannot get the component to show the image that I've thrown on it. Unless I do a hack on the MXML page by adding the image in it's scaleGrid form to the page somewhere. Then it seems to act as like a preloader for the image so it actually displays. But I don't want to do this hack on every page that uses this component. Is there a work around?
Here's the button skin:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                    width.disabled="296" height.disabled="73">

<fx:Metadata>
                    [HostComponent("spark.components.Button")]
                    [Embed('assets/art/shared/[email protected]', scaleGridTop=20, scaleGridBottom=85, scaleGridLeft=40, scaleGridRight=60)]
</fx:Metadata>

<s:states>
                    <s:State name="disabled" />
                    <s:State name="down" />
                    <s:State name="over" />
                    <s:State name="up" />
</s:states>
          <s:Group width="100%" height="100%" >
<s:Image width="100%" height="100%" smooth="true" source="@Embed('assets/art/shared/[email protected]', scaleGridTop=20, scaleGridBottom=85, scaleGridLeft=40, scaleGridRight=60)"/>
</s:Group>

          <s:Label id="labelDisplay" left="10" right="10" top="2" bottom="2" horizontalCenter="0"
                               maxDisplayedLines="1" textAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" verticalCenter="1"
                               color="#FFFFFF" >
<s:filters>
                              <s:DropShadowFilter distance="0" angle="90" color="0x000000" alpha="1" blurX="2" blurY="2" strength="16" quality="3" />
</s:filters>
</s:Label>
</s:Skin>
And then I throw that button into an MXML page. The image doesn't show up in design view.
<s:Button x="330" y="94" width="134" height="57" label="Button" skinClass="features.shared.NineSliceButtonSkin" />
This hack, fixes the button! And all other buttons that use that skin.
<s:Image width="100%" height="100%" smooth="true" source="@Embed('assets/art/shared/[email protected]', scaleGridTop=20, scaleGridBottom=85, scaleGridLeft=40, scaleGridRight=60)"/>
<s:Button x="330" y="94" width="134" height="57" label="Button" skinClass="features.shared.NineSliceButtonSkin" />

Looking for an answer too!

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?

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!

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.

Images in design mode don't draw their source from the correct directory?

I'm using flex builder 3 in os x. I've only recently started
using flex but this seems pretty odd. In design mode I drag an
image onto a panel. It starts out with no source, so of course it's
a broken image icon.
If I put my image into the 'bin' directory then I have to
enter the source of the image as 'bin/image.jpg' to make it show up
in the design view. But then when I 'Run' the project the image is
broken.
If I enter the source as 'image.jpg' then it doesn't show up
in design mode, but it does show up when I run the project. Thus it
appears that in design mode the 'current' directory is the main
project directory whereas when starting the project the main
directory is the 'bin' directory where it creates the swf.
The only way I can make this work reasonably well seems to be
to put the image in both the main project AND in the bin directory
by hand. Of course that's a maintenance nightmare.
What am I SUPPOSED to do? (other than embed the image in the
swf)

I always have this damn problem and I'm getting very tired of
it. And I AM embedding my images using [Embed] - same situation
still. I'm doing exactly what Adobe says to do for embedding images
here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/embedding_assets/
Still, it finds the assets when I run, but all I get is
broken images in design mode.
Design mode is broken in FB3. I don't remember what crazy
things I tried to get past this problem in the past, but I'm worn
out troubleshooting design mode path problems... image assets,
fonts, css, whatever. There is a bunch of threads in this forum
with people having similar issues, with no responses. I've spent
alot of time researching and troubleshooting these kinds of
problems - probably hours worth.
Adobe, what is the story with Design mode?

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.

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

Footer extends longer in Preview Mode then in Design Mode

I have attached two JPEGS that show my footer in "Design" mode and in "Preview" mode.
In "Design" mode the footer is perfect. It is the size and distance it needs to be at. However, when viewing it in "Preview Mode", the footer extends downward farther then it should. I've looked all over the page to see if there was something from another graphic or image or shape that could be extending downward and I don't see anything.
Take a look at both images and tell me why this is happening? I did have a lightbox gallary on this page. I thought that the gallery was extending it downward so I removed it to test my theory. Even after removing it, it still does not work the way it should.

Like Vikas said:
Check if you have Sticky Footer enabled:
File > Site Properties
Page > Page Properties (for master and child pages)
Let me know if neither of those work, it could be that you just need to preview in browser to see what the true height will be in the footer.
Hope this helps!

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

Type shift between design mode and preview mode in Muse.

My type shifts / moves positions between design and preview modes. It then justifies differently in differnet Web Browsers. This mean I end up positioning things incorrectly in design mode to accommodate the error when published. I am using the Droid Sans Websafe font from Typekit but it doesn't seem to matter which font is used as the bug still occurs. See the attached images; the left is in Design and the other in Preview. See how the formatting shifts within the software. Also the weight of the headline FORDNESS changes slighlty. On other pages, this headline shifts a few pixels across and down. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Text layout and rendering varies from browser-to-browser (and between Muse Design and Preview modes). This may come as a suprise if you have a Print background, but is the reality of the web medium. I'll point you to some previous forum posts that may be instructive.

How do I drag simultaneously mulitple images viewed in Preview to Finder. I know how to do one image at a time by dragging

How do I drag multiple images simultaneously from Preview to Finder. I know how to do one at a time. However since I typically shoot at 12 frames per second, sports photography, I have a lot of images to move of one athlete while in motion.

(A personal footnote):
Why are you using Preview at all? I hardly ever use it for anything, finding it very limited.
I am only an amateur photographer, but I much prefer GraphicConverter which, for example, in batch mode would do much of what you ask.
IMO it is probably the best shareware application ever written for the Mac.
If you don't know it, give it a try:

Why are my processed images now sharper in the Library mode than in Develop mode (LR5)?

In LR 5. Recently I noticed my processed images are sharper in the Library mode than in the Develop mode. This makes doing adjustments difficult because I can't really tell the effect of the adjustments.
PC, i7, 24GB RAM.
I've tried purging the Camera Raw cache. It's been suggested to purge the Preview cache but I cannot find the Preview cache file. It's also been suggested to clear the Preferences but those file don't show up in a search either even though my PC search is set up to show hidden files and folders.
Any solutions?

Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area. Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

How do you add an image to the preview that doesn't show up in the live site?

Is it possible to add an image that would take the place of " <> " ?

No this is how it's done. This answer was provided by Nthsecret
1) I create an image of my widget preview (ex. with photoshop);
2) I add an image in a server or ftp;
3) I add the image into file .mucow in this mode:
      <pageItemPosterHTML>
            <![CDATA[
                 <div><img src="YOUR_IMAGE" style=" height: HEIGHT_IN_PX; width: WIDTH_IN_PX;"></div>

Image Capture and Preview "folder not writable" error importing to shared folder

I'm running 10.8.5 on a Late 2012 model Mac Mini. I'm trying to create a folder under my home directory where my wife can import pictures using Image Capture or Preview while logged into her account. I've tried setting permissions on the folder by setting POSIX permissions and ACLs from the command line, and also by setting ACLs using Get Info in Finder, but it seems as though both Image Capture and Preview ignore the ACLs and instead rely solely on the POSIX permissions for everyone/other (even when a relevant group is set). Unless the POSIX permissions for everyone/other are "rwx" Image Capture and Preview both give an error that the import failed, and /var/log/system.log shows errors that the "folder is not writable". I'd like to be able to set this up without making the folder and the files in it writable by everyone. My understanding was that ACLs should take precedence over POSIX permissions, but even the POSIX permissions don't seem to be getting handled properly, because the group is ignored. Any help or explanation of what's happening would be appreciated.
Here's an example with details:
Suppose we have the users alice and bob. We want to set permissions on the directory /Users/bob/importdir such that Alice can import files from a camera there using Image Capture (or Preview, either would do), but don't want to relax the permissions more than necessary.
We create a group named bob_and_alice
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob:
POSIX: rwxr-xr-x, owner=bob, group=staff (i.e. default POSIX permissions)
ACLs:
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:bob_and_alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
2: user:alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
"Get Info" shows "Read & Write" for bob and "Read Only" for alice, bob_and_alice, staff, and everyone
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob/importdir:
POSIX: rwxrwxr-x owner=bob, group=bob_and_alice
ACLS: (these are already probably more permissive than should be necessary)
0: group:bob_and_alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: user:alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
"Get Info" shows "Custom" for both alice and bob_and_alice, "Read & Write" for bob, and "Read Only" for everyone
Alice opens a Terminal and cd's to /Users/bob/importdir. Alice can create and delete files in this directory.
Now Alice opens Image Capture and with our camera connected we try to import a photo to /Users/bob/importdir. Image Capture shows an error dialog with the text "Import error. An error occurred while importing. The item 'foo.jpg' was not imported." /var/log/system.log shows the message: "Jul 20 22:12:34 computer_name.local Image Capture[32804]: Document destination folder is not writable" If instead Alice uses Preview it shows an error dialog with the text "The selected folder is not writable" and /var/log/system.log shows two error messages:
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Document destination folder is not writable
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Encountered error during image import: Error Domain=com.apple.ImageCaptureCore Code=-9934 "The selected folder is not writable" UserInfo=0x7ffda4881f00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The selected folder is not writable}
Now we change the POSIX permissions on /Users/bob/importdir to: rwxrwxrwx
The import succeeds with both Image Capture and Preview
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Is there another reasonable way to do this without, moving this shared directory to /Users/shared?

Did you figure out how to fix this?
