How about a simple color browser, say if you have a hex color in your code and you want to see the value, you can highlight the color and then a little window you show you the color, without having to switch to design view. I have used flex for 2 years now, and don't really use the need for design view on complicated projects, things don't display correctly anyway.
I always have to leave flash open and continuously paste color values in just to see their values. Thanks for your time, Patrick
