If I load a movie into an nsmovieview via the openPanel, it plays([mymovieview isPlaying] returns 1). However, if I load it in my document-based app via loadDataRepresentation:ofType: (using the exact same reading method mind you), the movie won't play: [mymovieview isPlaying] returns 0, even though I sent the message [mymovieview start:sender].

loadDataRepresentation: is called *before* the NIB file has been loaded. So all your outlets are NIL. Ergo, your start message is sent to NIL, which is legal but pointless.

You should check whether mymoviewview == nil, and if it is, keep the movie in a member variable which is checked in awakeFromNib. awakeFromNib should then assign the movie to the NSMovieView view and play it.

Note that if you call e.g. "revert" on your document, the NIB won't be loaded again. So, leave the old code in there and make it conditional on mymovieview not being nil (or better, just have a startplaying method that contains that code which is called from loadDataRepresentation: and awakeFromNib. -- Cheers, M.
