Magnify – a jQuery Plugin

by Devon O.· December 11, 2011· in Actionscript· 5 comments tags: javascript, jquery
Let me begin by saying right up front, I have not given up on Flash. Despite Adobe’s recent PR debacle which I’m sure if you’re reading this, you’re familiar with, I still love Flash and it’s still my bread and butter. When my wife wanted to put together a portfolio site to show off her fantastic photography and collage work, though, I figured it was as good a time as any to pick up some new skills. So I delved into the land of jQuery and HTML. Sort of 2001: A Javascript Odyssey. While building the site (which still isn’t complete, but it’s coming along) I discovered I needed some sort of tool to magnify images. Now there are a lot of good jQuery zooming plugins out there, but seeing as how this was supposed to be a learning experience, I decided to write my own. You can check out the resultsĀ here. You’re welcome to use this, if you’d like (it’s available under MIT license), but here are a few caveats. First, it only works with single images that have been scaled down in the html page (the ‘magnified’ image is actually the size of the original image). Second, the […]

Lorenz Attractor – HTML5 Stylee

by Devon O.· February 06, 2010· in Life· 1 comments tags: html5, javascript, processing.js
First, let me just say this up front, I will give up Flash when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. When Flash is outlawed only outlaws will code in Actionscript. Add any other cliches you’d like to, here. The point is, I love the Flash Platform and will continue to use it for years to come. But, let’s face it, anyone who refuses to expand their skillset – whether it be with HTML5, Unity3D, or any other technology – or who at least chooses not to know their enemies won’t last very long in this game. So, that in mind, here is my first go at HTML5: a simple Lorenz Attractor. Not the most way-out thing folks have done, but ya gotta start somewhere. A few things I learned along the way: Trying to code in a OO fashion with Javascript is a serious pain in the ass. It’s funny that people have said this is the future of the web. For a Flash developer, it’s like stepping backwards in time 4 or 5 years. Any of you out there remember coding classes in Actionscript 1? Well, blow the dust off that nightmare memory ’cause it’s all coming […]
