Re. QuickTime Movie View

I tried the code below with a single window named "theWindow" and a movie view named "movieView" and the awake from nib handler connected to the window.


property theWindow : null
property movieView : null
property scaleFactor : 1

on awake from nib theObject
set theWindow to theObject
set movieView to movie view "movieView" of theWindow
try
set theMovie to load movie (POSIX path of (choose file))
set movie of movieView to theMovie
copy (call method "sizeForMagnification:" of movieView with parameter 1) to {movieWidth, movieHeight}
set size of theWindow to {movieWidth * scaleFactor, movieHeight * scaleFactor + 16}
on error
log "f*** - this was the wrong file type. Restart the app to have a new trial!"
end try
end awake from nib



I do see some adjustments to the window sometimes but it never fits.
I am sorry to say that with some movies, the program aborts with:
movieTest has exited due to signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

What is wrong?

Regards,

John

Hi,

so try another version

in IB give the main window a handler "awake from nib", put a movie view into and set up the right scaling handling for the movie view (and name it the right way - I named it 'movieView')

property theWindow : null
property movieView : null
property scaleFactor : 1
-- all properties are set in case you want to use them later on

on awake from nib theObject
set theWindow to theObject
set movieView to movie view "movieView" of theWindow


try -- or use open panel to define what kind of file you want to open, or put this stuff attached to a button or whatever
set theMovie to load movie (choose file)
set movie of movieView to theMovie
copy (call method "sizeForMagnification:" of movieView with parameter 1) to {movieWidth, movieHeight}
set size of theWindow to {movieWidth * scaleFactor, movieHeight * scaleFactor + 16}
on error
log "f*** - this was the wrong file type. Restart the app to have a new trial!"
end try
end awake from nib

I haven't had a look for the extra +16, so you must have a look a the docs - or just try.

Regards
Andreas
