Here's a simple question, (I hope) I'm able to embed a movie file
into an NSTextView using an attributed string and an NSTextAttachment.
When doing so it appears that an NSMovieView is created with a movie
controller, etc. The question is how do I obtain an object reference to
this movie view so that I can control some aspects of its UI namely
hiding the controller, etc. Is this possible ? I tried the NSCell
representedObject and obectValue methods and they return NULL. Is it
possible to get at the object reference contained in an NSCell. ?
There is some (currently) private machinery involved here; it may be
made public in the future, but the view here definitely is not the
represented object of the text attachment cell--for one thing, since
there can be multiple text views on a given text storage, there may
potentially be multiple movie views for a given attachment. In the
meantime, you can try looking through the text view's subviews for an
NSMovieView with the right location and size. There's no guarantee that
you will always find it--if the attachment is not visible, the movie
view need not have been created--but if it is there you should be able
to find it this way.
