I'm working on an iPhone application and I need some advice on displaying animated content (think: cartoon like movies). Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Goal ---- The application needs to display short 2 second 'clips' of animated characters in a loop. Animation can be triggered by tapping the screen. Options ------- - I've looked at AVFoundation, but it seems to be all 'A', no 'V'. - I've looked at MediaPlayer. The MPMoviePlayerController class however is very limited and doesn't offer features I would need. It takes over control of the screen/view. There is no access to the 'movie view', it assumes landscape playback so I need to rotate my content. etc. etc. - I've seen mentioned that movie playback inside a view is not currently supported in the frameworks. I've also not found support for movie file formats (you can only pass a url into the iPhone frameworks, that's it). Ultimately, the only approach left at this moment seems to be to create a movie playback view myself using Quartz? I really would like to forgo this if there is a way (or if there is existing code available). So, what are the current options for displaying movie like content in your app and have a decent control over playback and display? Thanks for any insight you can provide, patrick -- Patrick Machielse Hieper Software http://www.hieper.nl i...@hieper.nl _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
