[Pyobjc-dev] Question about animation proxy objects

[Mani G. <ma...@tu...>]

Hi all,

Attempting to use proxy animations
(http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Reference/NSAnimatablePropertyContainer_protocol/Introduction/Introduction.html)
on an NSWindow object causes a segmentation fault in my application.
I've read the documentation over and over, and I must still be missing
something!

Here's how I'm trying to do it (this is a code snippet of my app
delegate's instance method):

[CODE]
def fadeOut(self, window):
  window.animator().setAlphaValue_(0.0)
  window.orderOut_(self)
[/CODE]

calling fadeOut with an NSWindow instance as input, causes the
application to crash. I tried the same code, without the animation
proxy:

[CODE]
def fadeOut(self, window):
  window.setAlphaValue_(0.0)
  window.orderOut_(self)
[/CODE]

... and it works just fine.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here? (Fingers crossed that it's
not something embarrassingly obvious...)

Kind regards,
Mani
