pseudo-problem: js function undefined

Posted on 07.12.2016 by Oleg Vorontsov

well often you have an external js file you load and keep some functions in it; and eventually it can appear broken or missing some of the functions while you code your site, or they could work improperly.. My guess is that the js file just got cached and you load old version which is missing funcs or having old versions of them šŸ˜‰ In this case you could do it this way:

<script src=”/js/yourjsfile.js?604” type=”text/javascript”></script>

where 604 is just the number of your edit) so you edit js file and inc this by 1 for example so that client loads it anew..
Cheers, hope this helps someone, also let me know if there is something you can add, comment on this

Crop tool in photoshop CC not working (solved “problem”)

Posted on 10.09.2016 by Oleg Vorontsov

Well if you drag some photos to your photoshop CC canvas, scale, rotate, position them as you need and select crop tool it could fail. Or better say perform no visible action, the outer parts of images remain where they were i.e. no cropping occurs. This could be because these layers are smart-objects (whatever it is) )) and have special icon on the layer list. The solution is to rasterize those layers before cropping. THat’s it, thanks, bye!)

This one is not too large, but is quick and responsive. It doesnt have an eraser on top of the pen, but since I only draw in adobe flash, I dont need it anyway)

Tiny tip for NaN use

Posted on 11.06.2015 by Oleg Vorontsov

Use case:

//you have a number in text format and you want to convert it to number format
//and also to make sure there is no character inside
var nTemp:Number = Number(someStringWithCharactersInsideProbably);
if (isNan(nTemp))
{
//aha.. there are some characters inside
}

//and what I wanted to point out..
//This won’t work
/*
if (nTemp == NaN)
{
//aha
}
*/

Been doing a buisiness app mobile client + server

Posted on 05.07.2014 by Oleg Vorontsov

Not been doing games lately, alas but.. I’ve finsihedĀ a business app that I’ve been busy with for about 3 month or so. April, May, June.. Ā It’s a mobile client made in flash which a company’s personel uses on their mobile tablets.. and there’s a server part that accepts data sent from those clients and generates pdf reports and in turn sends them to customers and managers.. Ā Also mobile clients can update their internal data (images, constants, etc..) loading them from database.
so:

  • I bought an ios developer account
  • tried adobe air on tablets.. the app and some of my games on android and apple devices
  • learned php + mysql + mpdf (for server side pdf generation)

I earned some money and learned new stuff that I may need in future.

Now I’m getting back to games šŸ˜‰
