Properties Panel Focus / Mac?

I upgraded to CS4 yesterday in hopes Adobe had improved the Usability Features of Flash. Not so.
Is it really true that you can't put FOCUS on the Property Inspector Panel in Flash CS4 with a keyboard command on the Mac? Seriously?
Is there another workaround anyone knows? QuicKeys?

1600 to 900 is screen resolution and font size was 125% - changed it to 100% and that allowed full properties panel to be displayed
Thanks everyone - Merry christmas

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

  • Properties panel still a major issue - so is overall CC interface

    Hi, I have just bought into the whole Adobe CC apps things after years of working with CS4, 5 and 5.5 and remaining compatible with most of my clients, few are taking the leap to CC right now.
    Anyways, I am extremely disappointed in the interface, and completely amazed that the Properties panel in Dreamweaver is still ridiculously underwhelming.
    Case in point, the URL field.
    Why has this field remained limited to just 30 characters when the Property panel extends the full width of the screen and is completely empty from the walfway mark over to the far right?
    Can't remember the last time I had such a simple URL it even fit in there, mostly dealing with enewsletters with externally-hosted content... need hard URLs that are lengthy, this limitation adds too much time to my work and is annoying beyond belief.
    In addition, all CC apps now leave a hideous solid background that covers all other apps, and the Finder, this to me is reverting back to 1998 standards, not Mac OS X standards at all.
    Are the recent Adobe CC apps all Windoze ports? The dialogue boxes look hideous, the progress bars, etc, etc. all hideous, nothing like the slick CS4 look that was a major improvement over previous versions.
    And in any dialogue box you have to tab through every single option in the dialogue box... what?
    I used to love Adobe apps, I use them daily, several hours a day. Now I just don't want to have to deal with them.
    Please Adobe, what happened? Tell me you're working on fixing these issues and making these apps usable again.
    Right now I'd rather become a manager and not have to look at InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver ever again.
    Thanks.

    Hi David, thanks for the Application Frame tip... although in InDesign [the app I use most] it is also in prefs which was confusing, isn't in DW's prefs, or Ilustrator's or PhotoShop's... but the interface colouring is... the inconsistency here is annoying. There are so many issues leftover from previous versions of these apps which I have pointed out to Adobe that it's disappointing, having "upgraded" to CC and not finding any real improvement. I remember when apps moved a full version they were exciting to use and explore, just not happening any more with so much room for improvement - I could understand if the apps had everything needed and were the absolute best possible... but not the case, truly disappointed, could have stayed with CS5.5. Thanks.
    PS - that form you pointed me to is the one I used to file the request - and they replied it wasn't a bug it was a feature request, even though the title of that forms states "Feature Request/Bug Report Form" Weird.

  • Properties panel in Adobe Dreamweaver

    How do I display the properties panel once it has been closed?

    Go to Windows Menu then click on properties.
    You can use shortcuts as well.
    If you are on Windows Press <CTRL +F3> on MAC press <CMD +F3>

  • Defined rule not seen in Properties Panel

    I am a novice, using DW CS5, trying to learn the 1 column liquid, centered, header and footer layout provided.
    The following rule is seen in Code View, as well as in the CSS Panel:
    ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
    However, this rule is not available in the Properties Panel, as are the others to apply, e.g. .content.
    I'm sure that the answer is simple, but it eludes me.
    Thanks,

    Exactly what do you mean by "not available" in the Properties panel?
    Are you looking at the HTML properties or CSS properties inspector?
    And what are you trying to do with the list elements?
    If you're trying to insert a list, use the HTML properties inspector and click on the bullet (unordered list) or numbered (ordered list) icon.

  • Properties panel

    Silly question, but how do I keep the properties panel from disappearing each time I use it? I just want it to stay available.

    Keep in mind that the Properties Inspector is context sensitive, and changes depending on your focus within the document window. Iif you are using CS4, you have the opportunity to see either the HTML or the CSS Properties Inspector via the buttons on the left side of the Properties Inspector.
    It should 'be there' persistently, but it will look different in different contexts. You may only see a grey bar labelled "Properties"; click on the bar and it opens the panel. If you are not seeing it at all, either closed or open, go to Window > Properties to bring it back.
    Investigate the workspace layout; become familiar with the interface. You'll be glad you did.

  • CS4 Crash, Properties panel unresponsive

    Recently I had issue with Flash CS4 crashing repeatedly. Also
    the application would have trouble using the text tool to create
    TextFields it would not update the properties panel (Ctrl+F3) when
    switching between field types (dynamic, static and input). Also the
    properties panel would not update when selecting other items in the
    FLA file and just remain as the TextField details.
    A co-worker found that the issue was with the fonts on our
    systems. It appears some where corrupt and this was wreaking havoc
    with Flash CS4. We tried turning off the preview but that did not
    work. What did work was removing the corrupt fonts on our systems.
    First we had to find out which fonts were corrupt which can
    be done with FontAgentPro from Insider Software
    (www.insidersoftware.com). (Compatible with Mac OSX, XP and Vista)
    We installed the trial and tried to run an import which told
    us which fonts were corrupt. Once we knew which fonts were corrupt
    we just deleted/removed them from our Font folder. Note
    FontAgentPro crashed when we deleted/removed the fonts with it
    open; so we had to make a list of the fonts and close FontAgentPro.
    Once the bad fonts were gone we were able to open and run
    Flash CS4 without it crashing or the properties panel from hanging
    or becoming unresponsive.
    We hope this helps other who are experiencing similar issues.
    Note:
    On fresh Vista install Calibri, Cambria and Constantia fonts
    were all seen as corrupt. Not sure if this happened due to font
    installs we made, vista install bad (which runs very stable) or if
    Vista fonts are a different creature than previous window OT and
    TTF fonts.

    Unfortunately Adobe is notorious for not following Windows
    standard APIs. It
    is unlikely they will fix the issue anytime soon.

  • CSS in Properties Panel is blacked out.

    Some of my CSS rules are blacked out (highlighted in black) in my Properties Panel.
    Does this mean there is something wrong with the CSS in my site?
    Any ideas or explanation would be appreciated.
    I am using DW CS6 on a Mac Book Pro Retina 15,  OS 10.9.5
    Thanks,

    Is it not showing you an example of the CSS style? So instead of being blacked out, it is showing you what it looks like.

  • Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

    I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
    I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
    Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
    This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
    2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
    3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
    HOWEVER
    When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
    This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:
    .NormalCharacterStyle
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 16px;
      color : #19131F;
      color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
    2. h1:
    .h1
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 35px;
      letter-spacing : 0.53px;
      color : #FFFFFF;
      color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
    Missing:  25 Ultra Light
    3. h2:
    .h2
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 18px;
      text-transform : uppercase;
      color : #FCFCFC;
      color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
    Missing:  45 Light
    Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
    Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
    Thanks!

    CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

  • Can I turn off the Properties Panel in Photoshop CC?

    Every
    Single
    Time
    I draw a line or a shape or do almost anything it seems in PSCC, the Properties Panel jumps out. Quite rudely, it blocks the upper right of whatever I am working on. Yes, I can simply close it, but it interrupts my workflow, and it pops out constantly. This definitely did not happen in CS6 or any previous version of PS or even in the first version of PS in Creative Cloud.
    I haven't yet come across anywhere that will let me deactivate that automatic pop-out...I was hoping someone else had found it already. I would greatly appreciate some assistance!
    Thanks!!

    You 'instruct' me; I 'should' ... Imperatives, and yet it's me who has the 'attitude'.
    Your point regarding dates on the implementation is noted - apologies to those attempting to find a viable work-around with what they had available to them - but subsequent advice to deal with this by buying an extra monitor makes multiple presumptions.
    Thanks once again for your opinion on what I should do, but I came to the Adobe forum for an answer regarding an Adobe issue, by definition precisely the right place. Not to be given commands as to how I should work or spend my money by a complete stranger. There's very little helpful about the latter two points, irrespective of how you choose to define them.
    To restate my thanks:
    Thank you to Jorge and qerhqrhbwdbs for advice on how to actually deal with the problem.
    I've got more pressing things on the agenda than bickering about this, Noel, I presume you have too.

  • Color picker in the Properties panel used to work

    I have an object that I want to fill with a specific color. I click on the Fill property, choose the color picker, and type in the RGB numbers for the color. For example 240, 150, 100 for the RGB values. I get black. If I type those same color values into the new Swatches panel, I get an orange color. Has the color picker in the Properties panel stopped working?

    Jay, that is a known bug, reported it months ago and hope it will be fixed
    soon. The Color picker (picking colors) is still functional, it is only typing in of Hexadecimal codes that is not possible at this moment.
