Components not viewable in design mode

[flexyo]

Hi all and Happy New Year,



I just started to install and use Cocomo on my current
version of FB3.

The examples are correctly executing, however there is no way
to edit the contents using design mode of FB3.

The graphic displays shows only a red-crossed blank
placeholders.



Is there any restrictions regarding design mode that I missed
in the doc or did I miss a step or made something wrong during the
installation?



Thanks in advance,

Hi Lionel,



To my knowledge, we did have design mode working. We're
going to run some tests with the examples and get back to you.



thanks

Thanks Nigel



The result I obtain in design mode for the
MultipleGroups.mxml example can be seen


here



As well, when I bring in components, they don't display
correctly and appear as empty rectangles.

In source mode code auto-completion for rtc components
doesn't work either...



I suspect an installation problem...

I'll continue to investigate from my side as well and will
post the results

After having removed the source directory from the source
path tab in the Flex build path of the project properties, it
worked like a charm...

Hi,

When you add the cocomo.swc in the Library path, it always
shows up in the design mode. However, when you use the source path
, it tries to get the API's directly linked from the source code in
source path and may overwrite the customized design.xml and
manifest.xml features like the components panel classes in design
view and code hinting in mxml files for namespaces declared in the
manifest.xml.



I have come across this problem in flex always while making
swc's with customized manifest and design.xml features.

So the best way is to keep the swc in the library path and in
case you want to link the source path for debugging, add the source
path to source-attachment under the added swc in your library path.
