Subject: Re: transparent background app

Thanks guys, thats awesome. I appreciate all the tips on windowless

QC rendering. I had it working perfectly... until it just stopped

working! My QC patch is loading an xml file in an assets folder

(assets/data.xml) and loading in jpgs (again from the assets folder),

I'm guessing it has something to do with that. When I run the

composition from QC it works fine, when I run the .app all I see is

the background (the assets folder is next to the .app file so relative

path should work).  Is this a security issue? Are there any

complications in loading xml files from compositions embedded in an

.app? I noticed if I export my composition to a .mov from QC it also

doesn't work (can only see background).

A .app is not really a file, it's a bundle, which means it's  
essentially a directory that is displayed as a single file in the  
Finder (other prominent bundles are Keynote or Pages documents). Just  
right-click on the .app bundle to see its contents. All the stuff that  
is in the "Resources" group inside your Xcode project goes into  
"MyApp.app/Contents/Resources," including your .qtz file. Therefore,  
you must either set the path in your .qtz file to "../../assets/
data.xml" or drag the XML file into the Xcode project (the same goes  
for your images, of course).
