I'm using imageWithContentsOfFile:. Mainly this is because I need to manage a fair number of images, and the search algorithm used by imageNamed: won't work with the way my resources are organized inside the main bundle. >> Is there a better solution to get animationImages to work reliably?

That's just going to be too labor intensive I'm afraid. It would mean I'd have to work in close coordination with the artist who is creating the animations. And if we later want to add (sell) more animations, there would be more coding required, instead of just packaging up resources. To give an impression: initially I will need to add ~ 30 animations. As far as I can see, there would be three methods of displaying animations: - Run a movie file inside a view. Easiest but not possible at the moment. - Use frames in .animationImages. Not memory efficient, no audio, fiddly about preloading images. - Animate individual parts of the screen by code. Less (or no) code <> resource separation, labor intensive. I think I'll have to make do with animationImages for now. patrick_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
