Ok, I spent quite a bit of time trying to research plugins and/or extensions that would allow Dreamweaver to hint the few commands of CSS3 that were not showing up.
I am posting the solution below.

I'm adding a few more useful lines to the XML. Someone else might need it.
As in STEP 4 add:
<menu pattern="justify-content:" additionaldismisschars=";:" allowwhitespaceprefix="true" displayrestriction="css" allowmultiplevalues="true">
<menuitem label="flex-start" value="flex-start" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="flex-end" value="flex-end" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="center" value="center" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="space-between" value="space-between" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="space-around" value="space-around" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="!important" value="!important" icon="shared/mm/images/hintFlag.gif" />
</menu>
<menu pattern="align-items:" additionaldismisschars=";:" allowwhitespaceprefix="true" displayrestriction="css" allowmultiplevalues="true">
<menuitem label="flex-start" value="flex-start" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="flex-end" value="flex-end" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="center" value="center" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="baseline" value="baseline" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="stretch" value="stretch" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="!important" value="!important" icon="shared/mm/images/hintFlag.gif" />
</menu>
<menu pattern="align-content:" additionaldismisschars=";:" allowwhitespaceprefix="true" displayrestriction="css" allowmultiplevalues="true">
<menuitem label="flex-start" value="flex-start" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="flex-end" value="flex-end" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="center" value="center" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="space-between" value="space-between" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="space-around" value="space-around" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="stretch" value="stretch" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="!important" value="!important" icon="shared/mm/images/hintFlag.gif" />
</menu>
As in STEP 5 add:
<menuitem label="justify-content" value="justify-content:" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="align-items" value="align-items:" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
<menuitem label="align-content" value="align-content:" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
I FIGURED OUT A METHOD SO I WILL ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION but I thought it would be helpful to others that need to do the same. I personally am going to show how to add all the "flex" stuff on a windows computer.
STEP 1 - Locate the file
Use File Explorer to navigate to;
/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/configuration/CodeHints/
it may be in a/Program Files (x86)/
folder.STEP 2 - Allow Access to CodeHints.xml
Right click on
CodeHints.xml
and click security tab. Go to your current user (usuallyUsers (You\Users)
) in the list and make sure it has "modify" enabled. If not, click Edit, select the current user in the popup and tick the Modify, then click OK at the bottom and OK again on the security tab.STEP 3 - Add
flex
as adisplay:
option in CodeHints.xmlUse an editor that can edit XML, such as Sublime, Dreamweaver or any text editor and search for
display:
- make sure you add the colon to the search.There will be two results, you want the first one that starts
<menu pattern="display:"
.Add a new menu item of
<menuitem label="flex" value="flex" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
anywhere between the opening and closingSTEP 4 - Add
flex-*
tags.After the Closing
</menu>
of thatdisplay:
block add:STEP 5 - Add those labels to the hint list.
Search
display:
again and go the second one that is something like this<menuitem label="display" value="display:" icon="shared/mm/images/hintMisc.gif" />
Add below that entry:
again making sure that the icon path matches the others.
STEP 6 - Save and Restart Dreamweaver.
STEP 7 - Be happy your code hinting works!
Hope that helps someone out there.
