Making things move since 1999
A couple of weeks ago I released my new personal portfolio/sandbox site — va.lent.in. I need more opinions and less bug reports.
I like projects which make me learn something. During this one I learned a lot…

I never thought about lazy functions in JavaScript. Apparently, you can implement it this way:
var foo = function() {
var t = new Date();
foo = function() {
return t;
};
return foo();
};
I hate JavaScript.
Scala is hard. To use its syntax sugar you have to know what’s going on.
Recently I got a major headache with OS X file locks. Apparently, I can do nothing with locked files even being under root. So here comes a handy script which does that recursively. Taken from this site but there was a typo.
#! /bin/bash
#
# Simple file unlocking utility for Mac OS X
#
ARGS=1
E_BADARGS=65
function recursiveUnlock() {
pushd $1
for rdir in `ls -A`; do
if [ -d "${rdir}" ]; then
recursiveUnlock ${rdir}
else
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l ${rdir}
fi
done
popd
}
if [ $# -ne "$ARGS" ]
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` starting-directory"
exit $E_BADARGS
fi
recursiveUnlock $1
Call it recursiveUnlock.sh and “chmod” it to 755.
Now as jailbreaking is legal, couldn’t Adobe publish a Flashplayer for the iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad) over Cydia(App Store for Jailbreaked Apps)?
I guess this would be a huge market!
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5228
I’d like Flash Player on my iPad please!
Looks like my XML Flash Player 10.1 issue already has a bug filled at bugs.adobe.com. Too bad, that could be the first ever bug report submitted by me )8
Check this XML.
<data xmlns:Bla="bla"><Bla:bla></bla:bla></data>
It’s obviously malformed. Flash Player 10.0 fails to parse it but Flash Player 10.1 doesn’t care. This caused major headache yesterday.
How do I submit a bug to Adobe?
I am talking about –> operator. Did you know about it? It’s called “down to” operator. Here’s an example.
var a:uint = 20; while ( a --> 0 ) trace(a);
Isn’t it cool?!
Usually I dislike posts titled “10/20/30 whatever for/to whatever whatever“. Why 10? Can there be more? Why you chose these ones?
But this post about AIR applications seems to be really useful. At least I got some interesting stuff from the article. It is definitely a good read if (even if not) you are developing AIR applications.
Scala version 2.8.0 has been finally released, Joa updated apparat amazingly fast and v.0.2.1b is just a stable Scala 2.8.0 compiled application.
http://va.lent.in/projects/swf/initInjector/initInjector.0.2.1b.zip
InitInjector is a little Scala app which allows you to move code from SWF constructor to a private init method and subscribe it to ADDED_TO_STAGE. This fixes an error of stage being null in loaded SWFs constructor.
0.2.1b:
0.2b:
Thanks to everyone for reporting bugs.
