Question

I'm having some problems with UIImageView animations. I've created three NSArray objects containing the images and created three methods that take a UIImageView and assigns the new animations to it. It works fantastic calling one of the three methods the first time but doing it another time crashes the simulator and device. Any Ideas?

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {

// set the anims
slowAnimation = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.jpg"],
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image2.jpg"],
                                nil];
defaultAnimation = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image3.jpg"],
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image4.jpg"],
                        nil];
fastAnimation = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image5.jpg"],
                    [UIImage imageNamed:@"image6.jpg"],
                    nil];

// load the default speed - this works once, but when applied a second time it crashes the simulator and device
[self setDefaultAnim:myUIImageViewObject];

[super viewDidLoad];
}


// animation switcher
-(void)setSlowAnim:(UIImageView *)imageView
{
    [imageView stopAnimating];
    imageView.animationImages = slowAnimation;
    imageView.animationDuration = 0.4;
    [imageView startAnimating];
}
-(void)setDefaultAnim:(UIImageView *)imageView
{
    [imageView stopAnimating];
    imageView.animationImages = defaultAnimation;
    imageView.animationDuration = 0.4;
        [imageView startAnimating];
}
-(void)setFastAnim:(UIImageView *)imageView
{
    [imageView stopAnimating];
    imageView.animationImages = fastAnimation;
    imageView.animationDuration = 0.4;
   [imageView startAnimating];
}

Solution

I think you need to retain the three arrays you create in viewDidLoad -- you never call alloc on them, so you don't have ownership until you call retain.

OTHER TIPS

Instead of just calling retain use the initWithObjects message:

slowAnimation = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.jpg"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"image2.jpg"],
                                  nil];

If you do what Lounges suggests, though, note that you will need to later release the slowAnimation object. Since you alloc'd it, it will have a retain count of 1 until someone tells the runtime otherwise.
