Flex 3 - Monday: Designer/Developer Workflow (CSS Design View)

DIGG IT! 6 Comments Published Monday, June 04, 2007 at 1:10 PM .

I missed an important feature this morning and the product team let me know about it! I am so very sorry for leaving out the Design View for CSS. This allows you to edit a style visually and see the impact before working with MXML. Pure visual CSS editing.

CSS Design View
CSS editing has been enhanced with a design view. CSS files now support design view and property editing.

Sorry for missing that feature, I just never thought to click the "Design View" button when looking at a CSS file. It is like an integrated Flex Style Explorer.

Cool,

Ted :)

Ok, if I didn't say I was excited before... now I can Officially say.. "I'm Excited".

This is a feature that we designers desperately needed. Thank you Flex Team!

Agree, this one is really welcome.

This looks very promising indeed! But Design View is still not the same as Design Time CSS, right? Design Time CSS: a designer can select one or more CSS files to be used during Design view (on an entire project, or individual mxml file), and they get skipped or replaced when compiling. (see earlier post: http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/06/flex-3-details-next-week.php#comment-705838775034934190 ). I would be a very happy camper if this would be included in Moxie!

SWEET! These are a lot of great features. Is that the Darkroom theme in there ;) Can't wait to test out the new features.

Thanks for sharing Ted.
