    .app won't launch

    Newbie question here. I can't get my *.apps to launch once I email the *.app to a friend. I build a little application, then I copy the *.app from the project's 'build' directory onto my desktop. When I double click the *.app, it launches and everything works great. But when I (i) delete...

    Flash swf ripper

    It depends on the decompiler, but most will just read the bytecode of the swf and then represent it to you as actionscript. Flasm (http://flasm.sourceforge.net), however, shows you the stack, and that's useful if you want to know how things work inside. But if you're after examples, there...

    Hide determinate progress indicator?

    Yeah, I thought of that after I posted and tried it, but alas, it didn't work.

    Hide determinate progress indicator?

    I have a determinate progress indicator with -setDisplayedWhenStopped:NO. The indicator starts out hidden, then appears when in use, but when it reaches its max value, it doesn't disappear. It just stays visible (the animation has stopped). Anybody know how to make sure it gets hidden when its...

    Cocoa: change each character of a string to a different unicode value?

    Okay, I've got it working. Here's what I was looking for: [someMutableString appendFormat:@"%C", 0x03B2]; Where 0x03B2 is the desired unicode character code. Thanks!

    Cocoa: change each character of a string to a different unicode value?

    Thanks all, this is all very helpful. What if I wanted to append the unicode character 0x03B2 to an NSMutableString. How would I do that?

    Cocoa: change each character of a string to a different unicode value?

    That sounds like a good approach. So once I get the characterAtIndex:, how do I put append a new unicode character to the new NSMutableString? I can't seem to figure out how to add a specific unicode character.

    Cocoa: change each character of a string to a different unicode value?

    I need to step through a string (character by character) and change each character to a different unicode value. How can I do that? For example, suppose I have a string "abc" (unicode: x61 x62 x63). I want to step through each character in that string and change the unicode value to a...

    terminology: framework vs. library?

    Yeah, I don't have an actual library, I'm just trying to sort things out in my head. ;)

    terminology: framework vs. library?

    I think that makes sense. So if I had a class library, how would I turn that into a framework?

    What's the difference between a class library and a framework?

    [_outlet setString:@"testing"]; // selector not recognized

    Yeah, I guess the answer is to use -setStringValue: for controls. ;)

    [_outlet setString:@"testing"]; // selector not recognized

    Maybe I just figured it out. If I use the -setStringValue: method instead of -setString: it works. I must have been looking at the wrong doc page. Anyways, can someone explain why the wrong method crashes the program? I would have thought it would just tell me no method responds to the message...

    Beginner Programming Books For OS X Users

    I'm a PHP programmer too, but I don't know much C. I found Programming in Objective-C very helpful to get going with Cocoa. Most books I've looked at move way too quickly over the Obj-C part, leaving me in the dark, but this book explained Obj-C well for me. In particular, it explains Obj-C...

    [_outlet setString:@"testing"]; // selector not recognized

    I can't seem to reference an NSTextField. I've got to be missing something obvious. So in Interface Builder I create a single textfield in the window, create a controller class with one outlet named '_outlet' of type NSTextField. I instantiate the class, control-drag from the controller...

    Mouse click doesn't work

    I've had it about 8 months, so I should still have coverage (though not phone support).

    Mouse click doesn't work

    Well, it's always taken a bit to get the click working when it wakes from sleep, but the other stuff just started happening yesterday. I just assumed it took a minute to 'boot up' or whatever after it wakes from sleep (yeah, that's me, stupid computer user), but after it started doing it at...

    Mouse click doesn't work

    The mouse click on my 17" PB is getting really unreliable, often refusing to work for hours. I can move the pointer around, but sometimes Aqua doesn't respond at all to mouse clicks. When I close the lid on my 17" PB and put it sleep, and then open the lid again, it takes 30-60 seconds...
