iOS - CAKeyFrameAnimation - Not Playing - iphone

Question

I have looked at a few guides for CAKeyFrameAnimation and I am failing to see how to trigger them. The only thing I can think of is that I have to use it as a return, but that doesn't make much sense to me.

I'm rather new to iOS development so any advice is helpful.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Try:
[myImages addObject:(id)[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:path].CGImage];
Since the CAKeyFrameAnimation expects CGImageRef objects.

Answer 2

It looks like you're trying to load up 100 images and cycle them all within the space of 0.1 second. Not only is that pretty ridiculous (that's 1000fps right there, and CoreAnimation is capped at 60fps), but it's likely to take longer than 0.1 seconds for CoreAnimation to copy all the images before it even starts, which means that it will have finished before it started (and therefore no animation will occur).

Answer 3

I'll admit it was a PEBKAC error.
Thanks all for your help.
