Re: Archiving QTMovie attributes



The methods in NSCoder Additions are definitely what need to be used,
but I still can't figure out how exactly to do it without invoking
them directly. For example, I want to call NSKeyedArchiver's
encodeObject:forKey: method with an object of type NSDictionary
(fetched from QTMovie movieAttribtues:). That NSDictionary object will
contain QTTime objects. How do I get NSKeyedArchiver to recognize them
as such and use the methods from NSCoder Additions?
