This plugin allows you to visually edit mxml files. Maximus3d has created a great designview application and I have written the plugin wrapper for it. There are still some rough edges, but it is currently functioning and so we thought others may like to give it a try. The source for the plugin is available at https://designview.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... designview and the compiled plugin can be downloaded from the bottom of this post.

I have try plugin on current project, and cant open any *.mxml file in "design view" mode.


Error #1069: Property childrenContainer not found on undefinedChild and there is no default value.

Error #1065: Variable is not defined.

code

Plugin currently supports only mx xmlns. Custom components are not supported.

Seems really good and promising but it needs some small ui fixes. Let me know if you need any help.

Looking pretty good.

I am getting the same
Error #1069: Property childrenContainer not found on undefinedChild and there is no default value.

when I manually add the FormItem to the form:

creating the form in design view:


changing to the below throws the error:

It appears not to support children at the moment. I am adding copy,paste, and cut functionality right now.

It was a bug - it was breaking because of attempt to add known components from mx: namespace as displayObject to unknown nondisplay objects.

Now fixed in svn.

Hi,

I would like to contribute to this project.. Please let me know if you need help..

Hi

New to FD and would like to use the DesignView Plugin. Have tried to follow the instructions but cant find the installed plugin? I had thought that perhaps vista has mucked up the naming so I renamed the FlexDesignView-alpha file to FlexDesignView-alpaha.dll and copied it to the plugins dir launched FD which then complained about it.

So stumped

I am getting errors with this plugin....

I open the Program Files in Flash Develop copy the contents of Data folder (from the FlexDesignView-alpha.zip) into the Data Folder for Flash Develop. I then copy the FlexDesignView.dll to Flash Develop's Plugin Folder.

When I try to open a small test project with an mxml file I get this error...

Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

This happens even if I create a new project.

Any ideas??

Cheers!

hi.
My os is vista ultimate and using FD3 CR2
I following the construction above, how ever, it confused me. After extracted the zip file, I found a file named "FlexDesignView-alpha" which is not a dll file. then I rename it to "FlexDesignView.dll" and copied it to the plugins folder. After I open the FlashDevelop again , the FlashDevelop throwed the exception:
