Logical Or Assignment Bug in ASC2

by Devon O.· August 25, 2013· in Actionscript, AIR, Flash· 6 comments tags: ASC2.0

So, here’s something to keep an eye on if switching to AIR 3.8 (or 3.7 with the ASC2 compiler). Last week at work we decided to finally make the jump from AIR 3.5 to AIR 3.8; something I was pretty excited about and had been looking forward to for awhile. After applying the update, though, I noticed some unit tests failing and sat down to investigate. Several places in our app, we map loaded xml files to data objects – a pretty common thing to do. In the parse methods we may use typical logical or assignment to fill properties with default values if they aren’t present in the xml. So it’s not uncommon to run across a line like this: this.name = xml.@name || “Default Name”; Now, in the ASC1 compiler this always worked fine. After switching to the ASC2 compiler in AIR 3.8, though, this is where our unit tests began falling down. In the case above, rather than assigning the “Default Name”, the name property was being assigned an empty string. So I decided to have a little look under the hood and see exactly what was going on. So here’s a real quick test class file […]

Kinect Application Running in Dublin

by Devon O.· March 06, 2011· in AIR, Flash· 0 comments tags: kinect

So, on Friday I just wrapped up our latest project at vStream Digital Media, a Kinect powered flipbook that lets users flip through the hand written notebooks of Philip Lynott of Thin Lizzy. The app uses OpenNI, runs in Adobe AIR and is currently on display at a pretty bitchin’ Phil Lynott exhibition running in Dublin and sponsored by Hot Press magazine. Here’s a little gander of me trying it out before the grand opening…

On the Rebound

by Devon O.· December 28, 2010· in AIR, Flash, Life· 9 comments

I am rather pleased and excited to say that I have just completed my first AIR for Android game. Now, I will be the first to admit, it may not be the most exciting game in the world, but it is exactly the type of game I would enjoy (and have enjoyed) playing on the train or bus or standing around in queue somewhere. The object is to just use your finger to slide some circular game pieces up the playing board, off some bumpers and down into a scoring area without hitting the end. Think shuffle board or curling around a corner. Here’s a quick screenshot: Get the game for free in the Android Marketplace here (click on the QR image if you’re currently browsing on an Android device): And for the Geek bits. The game was built for 480×800 resolution and so far only tested on a Galaxy S. If it works or doesn’t work on any other device, please leave a comment either here or in the marketplace. And for those who care, the physics were done using Box2D. It runs a nice 19 to 24 FPS on my Galaxy. Again, though, any problems or no problems at all with […]

Update to Website Generation Tool

by Devon O.· May 03, 2009· in AIR, Flash, Life· 7 comments

For those unfamiliar with the AIR Website Generation Tool with the god awful name of Site GeneratAIR (still no good suggestions), check out this old post. Whether familiar with it or not, it has now been updated to version 2.2. New in the latest release: Fixed a minor bug that made the dragged/dropped icons gargantuan on a Mac. Removed the possibility of adding underscores or spaces to the DIV id names for strict doctype compliance (any other crazy characters are your own fault) Includes Swffit 2.1 Includes SWFObject 2.2 (beta, so you’ll probably want to replace this when the official version is released) Includes SWFAddress 2.3 You can install from the badge on the old blog page, or download the .air file directly here. In other news, for anyone who uses the OBO F-Player but has been disappointed that the Youtube downloader quit working, well it should be working again now. No need to update – took care of everything on this end.

FIS Athlone && Warbler Update

by Devon O.· April 05, 2009· in AIR, Flash, Life· 0 comments

Well, my wife’s first installation gallery exhibit came to an official close today. She had a great, albeit stressful, time and the response from the general gallery going public were fantastic. I can now officially say that I’m married to an artist. Can’t wait for the next exhibit. In other news, just updated my Warbler AIR application to an official 1.0 status. In case you don’t know, Warbler is a little desktop app. that lets you post songs from your last.fm account to twitter with the click of a button. For more information and to download, head on over to the shiny new webpage made just for it.
