The balls pulsate, growing and shrinking in size, an effect that I accomplish using UIImageView's -startAnimating, but the animation I was referring to in my previous posts has to do with adding each image view to its proper place.
My question boils down to this: if I am going to use -startAnimating for the pulsation, then each ball *has* to be an instance of UIImageView, which requires me to add 98 subviews to the superview and the laying out animation is as I described in the 25-image example. On the other hand, I could forgo using 98 subviews and do everything (one- time animated layout *and* animated pulsation) inside the superview's - drawRect. This second option is where I'm unsure how to proceed.
The solution I have now (98 subviews) works and is convenient but is taxing the device, so I'm looking for a better alternative, performance-wise.
Thanks for any help. Wagner On Apr 2, 2009, at 7:31 PM, James Montgomerie wrote:
25 image views seems a /little/ on the high side (probably not enough to cause major worry), but other than that it seems like a perfectly good approach.If you haven't already, and it's something that possible, you might want to consider what to do (i.e. should you try to stop the timer) if the user navigates away from your view before your subviews are all added.Jamie.
