Previewing a Guide

You can use either of two ways to preview a Guide:

  • To preview individual panels at design time, use the editor.

  • To preview your entire Guide, click the Preview button in the editor header.

Preview a Guide:

In the editor, click Preview. The Guide renders in your default web browser.
Note: Depending on your Microsoft Internet Explorer security settings, you can manually allow Guides to be displayed each time you preview a Guide. To disable this behavior in Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and, under Security, select Allow Active Content To Run In Files On My Computer.

Previewing Guides that contain Guide extensions

When previewing Guides that contain Guide extensions, consider the following guidelines:

  • Ensure that you have the debugging version of Flash® Player installed to assist with debugging Guide extensions. The debugging version of Flash Player provides detailed warning and error messages to Help troubleshoot ActionScript-related issues. To download the debugging version of Flash Player, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/ , click the Flash Player icon and then, on the right pane, click Additional Downloads.

  • You cannot preview Guide extensions from SWC files that include double-byte characters in the SWC filename. Rename double-byte SWC filenames to use single-byte characters to preview the extensions correctly.

  • By default, the model always provides the default value for a control, including custom controls created in Flash Builder. The binding to the model overwrites any default values you define while creating your control in Flash Builder. To change this behavior, remove the binding for the Data source property of the custom control.
