Form Guides Don't Show in Preview

I am trying to learn how to create form guides and have found that when I click the preview button, nothing but a blank template of the form guide appears. None of the text or graphics I have added appear. Can anyone provide any solutions?

I am working with ES2.

Hi KarenC,

Here's a link to a thread at Adobe User to User forums. Go to the bottom of the thread and there is a link to a paper on the issues of how to render a Form Guide with LCD ES2.

Thanks so much for the quick response.

Unfortunately, the form guide I'm working with is not complete or working. The rendering document only deals with completed form guides that are ready to be rendered. I cannot preview it as I am building it. There is nothing to render that I can see.

I'm looking for a reason my form guide does not show in preview while it is being built.

Hi KarenC,

I'm not 100% positive on this, but I believe it is not possible to view your Form Guides in Preview because Preview does not have a rendering program built into it for viewing Flex apps which is what Form Guides are- that is why I directed you to that article. It says a rendering program is required, like WorkBench.

Not many Flex/Flash experts frequent AUC but maybe someoe else can weigh in here with more specifics.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dimitri.

I've been trying to view the preview in Workbench (as ES2 has now moved form guide creation to workbench and out of designer), and it does not appear.

I'm still stumped.

Hi KarenC,

Have you tried asking in the "Form Guide" forum at Adobe User to User?

There are certainly more people there who use Work Bench than there are here. I hope someone is able to help troubleshoot for you there.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Again. I left a note in one of the forums, but didn't realize there was a specific Form Guide forum.
